Types of Joint Replacement Surgery

 Joint replacement surgery is surgical procedure that is performed to remove the damaged joints as a result of infection or fractures which cause pain that cannot be alleviated by medications or physical therapy. Therefore, joint replacement surgery becomes the best choice in which the dysfunctional joint is replaced by an orthopedic prosthesis, enabling the joint to facilitate movement and perform tasks. Furthermore, types of joint treatment vary according to the affected joint; the most common ones are orthopedic knee replacement and hip replacement surgery. Additionally, joint replacement surgery can also include shoulder and elbow joint replacement.

Joint Replacement Surgical Process

Before performing the procedure, the patient undergoes a set of medical examinations involving X-rays that accurately show the joint damage. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A surgical incision is made to remove all or part of the affected joint according to its damaged area followed by replacing the joint with an orthopedic prosthesis that is made of metal or plastic. Additionally, the procedure of replacing the hip joint includes replacing both the thigh joint and the pelvic one by replacing the bone of the upper end of the thigh with another ball-shaped prosthesis attached to a metal stem connected to the pelvis. Moreover, orthopedic knee surgery involves partial, or half knee replacement procedure,in which the damaged knee joint, as a result of injury or aging, is replaced with a prosthesis that enhances great freedom of movement.
