What is Arthroplasty?

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore joint function by resurfacing damaged joints or replacing them with prosthetic implants. It is commonly performed to treat severe arthritis, joint deformities, or injuries that significantly impair movement and cause chronic pain.

Conditions That Require Arthroplasty

Osteoarthritis – Age-related joint wear and tear.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – Autoimmune joint inflammation and damage.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Joint degeneration due to injury or fractures.
Avascular Necrosis – Bone tissue death due to lack of blood supply.
Congenital & Developmental Joint Disorders – Conditions affecting joint alignment and function.
Severe Joint Deformities – Leading to pain and loss of mobility.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Arthroplasty

Persistent joint pain – Severe pain that worsens with movement.
Joint stiffness & limited mobility – Difficulty in bending, walking, or daily activities.
Swelling & inflammation – Constant joint swelling despite medications.
Joint deformity – Visible misalignment or structural changes.
Reduced quality of life – Inability to perform routine tasks due to joint pain.
