joint preservation

Joint preservation refers to medical and surgical techniques aimed at maintaining the natural structure and function of a joint, rather than replacing it with an artificial implant. This approach is often used to treat conditions like arthritis or injuries by reducing pain, improving mobility, and extending the life of the joint. Methods may include physical therapy, medication, or minimally invasive procedures that repair damaged tissues. The goal is to help individuals remain active and maintain a good quality of life while delaying or avoiding total joint replacement.
