Joint replacement conditions
Avascular necrosis
It is a disorder when bone tissue in the joint dies due to a lack of blood supply, resulting in pain and potentially harming the joint.
Rheumatoid arthritis
A chronic autoimmune condition that damages and inflames the body's joints and other organs.
Osteoarthritis
It is a degenerative joint that destroys bone and cartilage in the joints.
Hip dysplasia
It is a disorder where the hip joint does not develop normally, leading to instability, potential pain, and long-term damage.
Joint trauma
It is an injury to a joint that causes pain, swelling, and restricted movement of the joint. It can result in dislocation or fracture.
Degenerative joint diseases
Ailments that cause the cartilage and bones in joints to break down over time, resulting in pain and decreased mobility.
Common diagnostic tests
An orthopedic surgeon diagnoses the injury through a medical evaluation to confirm the need for joint replacement surgery.
Medical history
To learn about previous injuries or to determine if the patient has osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Physical examination
To check for any signs like swelling, inflammation, or restricted movement in the joint.
Imaging tests
MRIs, X-rays, CT scans, etc. to evaluate the severity of the damage to the joints, bones, and surrounding tissue of the affected area.
Blood tests
To check for underlying conditions that could increase the complication rate for joint replacement surgery.
Joint aspiration
For the diagnosis of joint inflammation or pain by removing and analyzing fluid from the affected joint.
Common joint replacement surgeries
Knee replacement surgeries
Knee replacement surgery substantially enhances the lives of patients who experience persistent knee pain and injury.
Total knee replacement
The entire knee joint will be replaced, including the tibia, femur, and patella, with metal and plastic prosthetic components made up of ceramic, plastic, or metal.
Partial knee replacement
The surgeon replaces only the injured area of the knee joint with prosthetic components while retaining the healthy parts of the knee.
Bilateral knee replacement
Both the knees are replaced simultaneously, which can be advantageous for patients who have severe arthritis or damage in both knees.
Revision knee replacement
The old knee prosthesis will be removed, and the surgeon will then replace or remove any damaged bone or tissue. The incision is stitched up, and the new knee implant is secured in place.
Hip replacement surgeries
The procedure makes it possible for patients with persistent hip pain and limited mobility to greatly improve their quality of life.
Total hip replacement
The surgeon replaces the entire hip joint, including the ball and socket, with metal and plastic prosthetic components made up of ceramic, plastic, or metal.
Partial hip replacement
Only the injured area of the hip joint will be replaced with prosthetic components, while the healthy parts of the hip will be retained.
Bilateral hip replacement
In patients with severe arthritis or damage in both hips, the surgeon simultaneously replaces both hips, which can be advantageous.
Hip resurfacing
The damaged surface of the hip joint is removed and replaced with a metal cap that fits over the existing ball and a metal cup that fits into the socket.
Shoulder replacement surgeries
Patients who have persistent shoulder pain and limited mobility benefit greatly from the procedure in terms of their quality of life.
Total shoulder replacement
The entire shoulder joint is removed and replaced, including the ball and socket, with metal and plastic prosthetic components made up of ceramic, plastic, or metal.
Partial shoulder replacement
Only the injured area of the shoulder is replaced, which is usually the ball or socket while retaining the healthy parts of the shoulder joint.
Revision shoulder replacement
This surgery is performed only when a prior shoulder replacement has failed or grown loose. They take out the old parts and replace them with new ones.
Shoulder hemiarthroplasty
The surgeon makes an incision, replaces the shoulder joint's damaged ball portion with a metal implant with a stem, closes the wound, and places the implant.
