Joint Replacement Surgery Treatment

  • Description
Description

During joint replacement surgery, surgeons replace a worn or injured joint with an artificial one. When other medical aid fails, then the surgeon performs this activity to relieve discomfort and improve movement. Following the removal of damaged pieces, surgeons insert new ceramic, plastic, or metal prosthetic joint components. People can resume their regular activities after their joint function and discomfort levels have improved.

Joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, aims to restore mobility and quality of life for those suffering from osteoarthritis, arthritis, and traumas, as well as to relieve acute joint pain. The majority of joint replacement patients are aged fifty to eighty, and sixty percent are female.

Although hip and knee replacements are the most common, elbow, wrist, ankle, and shoulder replacements are also possible. Prostheses, or artificial joints, are made to move like real joints and can last for at least 20 years. Although joint replacement surgery is usually safe, there are risks associated with it, like any major surgery, including infection, blood clots, nerve damage, and issues with the prosthesis, like loosening or dislocation.

Who Needs To Undergo For This Process?

  • Those who have persistent, severe joint pain that has not responded to previous treatments.
  • People who have trouble performing daily tasks owing to joint stiffness or weakness.
  • People who have had considerable joint damage due to arthritis or an injury.
  • whose joint problems impair their overall quality of life and freedom.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgery

Here are some common types of this surgery:

1) Total Joint Replacement

  • It involves replacing the whole joint with an artificial one. At this stage, the surgeon replaces both the ball of the thigh bone and the pelvic socket. This is also frequent with the knees and shoulders.

2) Partial Joint Replacement

  • The surgeon replaces a small portion of the joint. For example, in this condition, surgeons replace only the affected section of the knee. And leave the healthy sections untouched. This can be less intrusive and lead to a quicker recovery.

3) Reverse Shoulder Replacement

  • Surgeons perform this when the rotator cuff is badly injured. The surgeon swaps the ball and socket to assist in restoring shoulder function. The ball rests on the shoulder blade and the socket on the humerus.

4) Resurfacing Arthroplasty

  • They apply a metal coating to damaged surfaces in place of removing the joint. Younger, more active individuals frequently employ this technique to maintain more of their native bone.

Cost of Joint Replacement Surgery In India

  • Location
  • Hospital
  • Preoperative tests
  • Consultation charges before and after surgery.

Procedure of Joint Replacement Surgery

1) Preoperative evaluation

  • Before surgery, surgeons will properly review the medical history and perform tests like
    •  X-rays
    • MRIs to assess the joint’s condition.

2) Anesthesia

  • The patient gets either general or regional anesthesia drugs to keep them asleep and pain-free. And this medication also helps to numb the area.

3) Incision

  • The surgeon makes a cut over the injured joint to gain access to it. The size and placement of the cut vary depending on which joint is being replaced.

4) Removing of the damaged part

  • The worn-out bone and cartilage are among the damaged joint components that the surgeon carefully removes.

5) Implant placement

  • The medical team fills the prepared space with the new artificial joint, which can be composed of ceramic, plastic, or metal. Depending on the joint, this typically entails a replacement ball and socket or comparable components.

6) Checking the joint

  • The surgeon checks to ensure that the replacement joint is appropriately positioned and sturdy. They make any necessary changes.

7) Closing the incision

  • After the surgeon confirms that the implant is stable and operating as expected. Then medical staff cover the cut with a sterile bandage and seal it with stitches.

8) Recovery

  • At last, the medical staff will shift the patient to a recovery area as the patient wakes up from anesthesia.
