Prosthetic Joint Replacement

Prosthetic joint replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or worn-out joint, often due to arthritis or injury, is replaced with an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Commonly performed on hips, knees, and shoulders, this surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life. The artificial joint mimics natural movement, allowing patients to regain mobility and participate in daily activities. Recovery typically involves rehabilitation to strengthen the surrounding muscles and restore range of motion.
