What is Joint Replacement?
Joint replacement, or arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This procedure is highly effective for patients suffering from severe arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration.
Common Causes for Knee & Hip Joint Replacement
- Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis – Wear and tear or autoimmune inflammation.
- Avascular Necrosis – Loss of blood supply causing bone damage.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Joint damage due to fractures or injuries.
- Joint Deformities – Misalignment causing pain and difficulty in movement.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Joint Replacement
- Severe Joint Pain – Persistent pain even at rest.
- Loss of Mobility – Difficulty in walking, standing, or performing daily activities.
- Joint Stiffness & Swelling – Inflammation leading to restricted movement.
