Joint Replacement Surgery
Understanding the Procedure

What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery involves removing the damaged or worn-out surfaces of a joint and replacing them with artificial components (implants or prostheses) that replicate the natural movement of a healthy joint.

It is most commonly performed on:

Knee joint (Total Knee Replacement – TKR)
Hip joint (Total Hip Replacement – THR)
Shoulder joint
Elbow joint
Ankle or smaller joints (in select cases)
When Is It Needed?

Common Conditions That Require Joint Replacement

Severe Osteoarthritis

Progressive wear and tear of joint cartilage leading to bone-on-bone friction and chronic pain.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Inflammatory joint diseases that damage cartilage and cause joint deformities.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Joint damage occurring after an injury or fracture that doesn't heal properly.

Avascular Necrosis (AVN)

Bone tissue death due to poor blood supply, causing joint collapse and severe pain.

Joint Deformities

Congenital abnormalities or developmental issues affecting joint structure and function.

Failed Previous Surgeries

Cases where previous joint procedures did not provide adequate relief or function.

Treatment Options

Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries

1

Total Joint Replacement

Both sides of the joint are replaced with artificial components for maximum stability and pain relief.

2

Partial Joint Replacement

Only the damaged part of the joint is replaced, preserving healthy bone and tissue.

3

Revision Joint Replacement

Performed when a previous implant fails or wears out — requiring replacement with a new prosthesis.

4

Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement

Small incisions and tissue-sparing techniques that result in quicker recovery and less post-operative pain.
