Joints are crucial components of the musculoskeletal system, connecting bones and facilitating movement. The human body boasts over 300 joints, each serving a unique purpose. These articulations can be classified into three main types: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Synovial joints, the most prevalent, allow for extensive movement and are found in the knees, hips, and shoulders, among others. However, over time, joints can succumb to wear and tear, leading to conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. When conservative measures prove insufficient, joint replacement emerges as a viable medical intervention, involving the surgical substitution of damaged joints with prosthetic counterparts to restore function and alleviate persistent pain.
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating chronic pain and restoring function in damaged or deteriorated joints, commonly the hip or knee. It involves removing the damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial prosthesis made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Indications for joint replacement include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injuries. The surgery aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for optimal recovery, involving physical therapy and gradual return to normal activities. While joint replacement is generally considered safe and effective, it is important to weigh the benefits and risks in consultation with healthcare professionals.
