Arthroplasty | Joint Replacement Surgeon
What Is Arthroplasty?
Arthroplasty surgery is a surgical procedure to restore joint functions. It is also called surgical joint replacement where the expert orthopedic surgeon replaces the injured/damaged joint or damaged part of the joint with a prosthesis (artificial joint). The prosthesis is made of metal, ceramic, or sometimes heavy-duty plastics. Osteoarthritis, joint fractures, Rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, and hip dyspepsia are some of the reasons that people need to visit an orthopedic surgeon for Arthroplasty. The most common arthroplasty surgeries are knee replacement, hip replacement & shoulder replacement.
Knee Arthroplasty
Knee arthroplasty is the most common orthopedic surgery in which the artificial implant replaces the portions of bones in the knee joint to relieve the stiffness and pain from osteoarthritis.
Hip Arthroplasty
Hip arthritis and injuries like broken hips cause pain and inflammation. Hip arthroplasty is a joint replacement surgery in which portions of the thighbone and pelvis are replaced.
Shoulder Arthroplasty
People with serious shoulder fractures and arthritis have issues with their shoulder mobility. Shoulder arthroplasty surgery helps to restore the mobility of shoulder joints and relieve pain.
Why Do You Need Joint Replacement?
Arthroplasty restores the function of a joint caused by arthritis or injuries to joints. Osteoarthritis and joint injuries can cause loss of the cartilage of joints. An Orthopedic Surgeon may recommend Arthroplasty when non-surgical treatments do not respond and swelling and pain which are not relieved by pain medicines and affect the overall mobility of the patient.
Joints have cartilage, lubricating fluid, and ligaments that act as a hinge and help in the free motion of bones. Some conditions can cause joint pain and disability. Joint pain is caused by damage to the ligaments and cartilage either from arthritis or a fracture.
To get the rid of extreme joint pain, an expert arthroplasty surgeon removes the damaged surfaces of bone and replaces them with artificial material called a prosthesis.
Is there any difference between Arthroplasty and Joint Replacement ?
Arthroplasty and joint replacements are same but many times orthopedic surgeons use arthroplasty word instead of joint replacement.
Arthroplasty or Joint replacement is a minimally invasive surgical treatment. Many times, the patient assumes joint replacement is invasive and painful, so many times expert joint replacement surgeons use arthroplasty.
Modern technology and advancements have made joint replacements made less painful and minimally invasive.
