Joint Replacement
Joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing damaged or diseased joints with artificial implants. At Dr. Isaac Bone & Joint Speciality Hospital, we specialize in joint replacement surgery, offering comprehensive care to patients suffering from debilitating joint conditions to help restore mobility and improve quality of life.
Joint replacement surgery is commonly performed to treat severe arthritis or joint damage caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury. The most common joints replaced are the hip and knee, although other joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and ankle can also be replaced.
During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with prosthetic components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials.
These implants are designed to mimic the natural shape and function of the joint, allowing for smooth movement and weight-bearing.
Candidates for joint replacement surgery typically experience persistent pain, stiffness, and loss of function that have not responded to conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications. The decision to undergo joint replacement surgery is made in consultation with an orthopedic specialist, who will evaluate the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and overall health to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Recovery from joint replacement surgery involves a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the affected joint. Most patients experience significant improvement in pain and function following surgery and are able to return to their daily activities with reduced discomfort and increased mobility.
At Dr. Isaac Bone & Joint Speciality Hospital, our team of orthopedic surgeons and specialized healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing personalized care to patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. We utilize advanced surgical techniques and technologies to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term success.
