Orthopedic Joint Replacement

Orthopedic joint replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged or arthritic joints, commonly the knees, hips, or shoulders, are replaced with artificial components. This surgery aims to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for individuals with joint issues. Surgeons remove the damaged parts of the joint and insert prosthetic devices made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Recovery involves rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility. Joint replacement is often recommended when other treatments, like medication or physical therapy, have failed to provide relief. It can significantly enhance daily activities and overall well-being.
