What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint Replacement Surgery is a medical technique that aims at helping patients suffering from chronic joint injuries or joint degeneration. An injury may be the result of an accident or an underlying medical condition.

The surgery is carried out under the influence of anaesthesia. It involves the use of artificial grafts made up of plastic, metal, or ceramics that resemble the original joint. The surgery can help the patient to get rid of the pain and enhance the range of motion of the joint which was restricted earlier due to orthopaedic problems. Joint Replacement Surgery is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures that can be performed on adults.

The surgery can be of two types:

  • Partial Joint Replacement (replacement of only one part of the joint)

  • Total Joint Replacement (replacement of the complete joint)

What Are The Indicators For Joint Replacement in India?

Joint Replacement Surgery is generally recommended for patients with chronic joint problems that are beyond repair and surgery is usually the last form of treatment for them to be recommended by a Joint Replacement Surgeon. It is helpful in treating patients suffering from conditions like Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, especially when the patient experiences:

  • Difficulty in moving the affected area.

  • Moderate pain even while lying down.

  • Severe stiffness in the affected joint and the areas surrounding it

  • Lack of results from other treatment options like medication and physiotherapy

What Are The Conditions Treated Under Joint Replacement Surgery?

  • Joint fractures

  • Joint infections

  • Other inflammatory joint problems

  • It is very important to get in shape by shedding those extra kilos as they can put excessive strain on the affected joint after the surgery

  • Discuss the whole procedure with the Joint Replacement Surgeon including information about possible complications

  • Start physiotherapy as it will help to reduce the inflammation and swelling, making it easier for the doctors to perform the surgery
