It mostly happens due to sports injuries, car accidents or slipping down on the road. This problem can cause difficulty during movement and becomes harmful for individuals.

Treatment Procedure 

Before Procedure

The things that can happen before the surgery are as follows:

  • An individual must fill an application form for hospital admission. 
  • A healthcare provider will review the medical history and ask about the osteoarthritis symptoms to him or her. 
  • A physical exam is performed to check the swelling and tenderness in joints in the healthcare department. 
  • Some imaging tests will be conducted for the identification of certain health complications associated with osteoarthritis.
  • A blood test or a joint fluid analysis is recommended when a patient is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. 

Some rules and regulations need to be followed before the surgical procedure. These include the following:

  • An individual is not suggested to eat and drink for a few hours. He or she might feel nauseous during the surgery.

  • A person must quit smoking and drinking alcohol before the surgery. 

During Procedure

The following things can happen in the medical center. These are as follows:

  • A surgeon makes an incision in the skin and measures the bones through surgical wires. 
  • The surgical inst is used to remove the damaged bone and cartilage from the body. 
  • An artificial joint is placed in the hip, knee and other body parts. 
  • Some surgical devices like screws, plates or rods are attached with the bones for reshaping or realigning. 
  • A surgeon closes the incisions through the surgical staples or stitches. He or she may also apply the bandage or dressing to protect the surgical incisions. 

After Procedure

A patient will be taken into the recovery room or the identification of vital signs in the healthcare center. After that, he or she is suggested to go home after the surgery. 

A healthcare provider will give a prescribed medication drug to an individual for the management of pain or discomfort. It may be acetaminophen, cymbalta or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Recovery Tips

  • Try low impact exercises for muscle strength and joint flexibility.
  • Avoid carrying heavy items for a few weeks.
  • Consult with a dietician to lose weights.
  • Engage in gentle exercises like tai chi and yoga with deep breathing. 
  • Apply heat and cold on the skin which provides muscle relaxation and reduces pain after the exercises.
