A surgical treatment where an arthritic or dysfunctional
joint is removed and replaced with a prosthesis is referred to as joint
replacement surgery or joint arthroplasty. The prosthesis, in this case, is
made up of either plastic, metal or ceramic and it is designed to relieve the
pain and aid normal joint movement.
The most common types of joint replacement surgeries
include hip and knee replacements. However, the treatment is also effective in
handling other damaged joints such as shoulder, fingers, ankle or wrist. The
surgical treatment is usually recommended as a last resort when other
non-invasive treatments like medications and physiotherapy fail to cure joint
pain issues.
Joint replacement surgery for knees is carried out to cure
the conditions of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic
arthritis. While total knee replacement involves complete joint resurfacing at
the end of your thigh and shin bone, partial knee replacement is done to treat
one damaged side of the knee and the process is minimally invasive treatment
with faster recovery time.
