What is Joint Replacement?
Joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased joint is replaced with an artificial implant, or prosthesis. This procedure is commonly performed on joints affected by severe arthritis or injury, where conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief.
Benefits of Joint Replacement
- Pain Relief: Alleviates chronic joint pain that limits daily activities.
- Improved Mobility: Restores joint function and range of motion.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Allows patients to return to an active lifestyle.
- Long-Term Durability: Modern implants are designed to last for many years.
Types of Joint Replacement Procedures
Knee Replacement
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Involves replacing both sides of the knee joint with artificial components.
- Partial Knee Replacement: Replaces only the damaged part of the knee joint, preserving healthy tissue.
Hip Replacement
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): Involves replacing the hip joint with a prosthetic implant to relieve pain and improve function.
- Hip Resurfacing: Preserves more bone compared to traditional hip replacement by capping the femoral head with a metal covering.
Shoulder Replacement
- Total Shoulder Replacement: Replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components.
- Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Used for severe shoulder arthritis with rotator cuff deficiency, reversing the ball and socket mechanism of the shoulder.
