Joint pain and stiffness can significantly impact your daily life, limiting mobility and overall quality of life. For individuals suffering from severe arthritis, joint damage, or injuries, joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, offers a long-term solution to restore movement and alleviate pain.
Understanding Joint Replacement Surgery
Joint replacement surgery is a procedure where a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This surgery is commonly performed on the knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows to improve function and relieve chronic pain caused by degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injuries.
When Should You Consider Joint Replacement?
If you experience the following symptoms, joint replacement surgery might be the right option for you:
- Persistent joint pain that does not improve with medications or therapy
- Severe stiffness and restricted movement
- Difficulty in performing daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or bending
- Joint deformity or significant wear-and-tear damage
- Failed previous treatments, including physical therapy and injections
