Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty)
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. It is most commonly performed for the hip and knee joints. The surgery is indicated in conditions such as severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, or joint deformities causing pain and loss of function. Joint replacement helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. Post-operative physiotherapy is essential for optimal recovery and long-term success of the procedure.
