Types of Joint Replacement Surgery

1. Total Joint Replacement: The damaged joint surfaces are completely removed and replaced with prosthetic components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This is common in knee and hip replacements.
2. Partial Joint Replacement: Only the damaged portion of the joint is replaced, preserving as much of the natural joint as possible. This is sometimes an option for knee replacement.
3. Revision Joint Replacement: Performed when a previous joint replacement has worn out or failed, this procedure replaces the old prosthetic with a new one.

The Procedure

Joint replacement surgery typically involves the following steps:

1. Preoperative Assessment: A thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests, to plan the surgery.
2. Anaesthesia: General or regional anaesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
3. Surgery: The surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with prosthetic components.
4. Recovery: Post-surgery, you will be monitored closely and begin rehabilitation exercises to restore movement and strength to the joint.

If you suffer from severe joint pain and other treatments have not provided relief, joint replacement surgery may be the solution. Consult with an orthopaedic specialist to determine the best course of action for your individual needs. With proper care and rehabilitation, joint replacement can help you regain a pain-free, active lifestyle.
