Resection Arthroplasty

Resection arthroplasty is a surgical procedure where damaged or diseased parts of a joint, such as the bone or cartilage, are removed to reduce pain and improve function. Instead of fixing or replacing the joint fully, the surgeon removes specific joint components, creating a softer, more comfortable connection. This procedure is often used when other treatments haven't worked, especially in cases of severe joint damage or infections. While it may lead to some joint instability or weakness, it can significantly alleviate pain and improve a patient's quality of life.
