Arthroplasty Surgery FAQs
Arthroplasty surgery, commonly known as joint replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased joint is replaced with an artificial joint or prosthesis. It is commonly performed on joints such as the hip and knee to relieve pain and improve joint function.
Arthroplasty can be performed on various joints, including the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. The choice of joint replacement depends on the specific condition affecting the patient.
In partial joint replacement, only the damaged part of the joint is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue. Total joint replacement involves replacing the entire joint. The choice depends on the extent of joint damage and the patient's condition.
The procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis, resulting in a much shorter hospital stay than traditional hip or knee replacement surgery requires. More rapid relief from pain, a faster recovery and a quicker return to day-to-day activities.
