What is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint replacement surgery involves removing the damaged parts of a joint and replacing them with artificial implants designed to mimic natural movement. It is most performed for:
- Severe arthritis causing stiffness and pain
- Advanced joint damage from wear and tear or injury
- Persistent pain that does not improve with medicines or physiotherapy
Types of Joint Replacement Offered
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
- Total Hip Replacement (THR)
For patients with advanced knee arthritis or severe knee pain, TKR replaces the worn-out joint surfaces with artificial implants. This reduces pain, improves mobility, and restores quality of life.
Hip replacement surgery is recommended for patients with hip arthritis, fractures, or chronic hip pain. The damaged hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, allowing smoother movement and long-term relief.
Signs You May Need Joint Replacement
- Constant knee or hip pain, even at rest
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the knee or hip
- Pain that interferes with sleep and daily activities
- No relief from medicines, injections, or physiotherapy
