Joint Replacement Surgery for Curing Persistent Pain and Discomfort

Joint pains are often a part and parcel of ageing. They can occur in the younger generation as well due to trauma from accidents or due to some diseases such as arthritis. Living with the pain and discomfort can be tough, especially when it interferes with the mobility and everyday life activities.

Joint replacement surgery is done when other methods of treatment for curing joint pain and restoring full mobility does not find success. The procedure involves replacing the affected joints with an artificial prosthesis designed to mimic the functions and capabilities of the natural joint.

 The procedure of joint replacement is usually performed to correct irregularities on joints like knees, shoulder, hips, ankles, elbows and fingers. The orthopaedic surgery helps in eliminating pain and restoring motion with the flexibility of the artificial joint.

Scope of joint replacement

• Joint replacement surgery is usually performed in the following cases: -

• Joint disorders caused due to arthritis

• Persistent pain, stiffness, and inflammation in joint

• Wear and tear in joints

Joint replacement procedure

The procedure of joint replacement involves the replacement of the damaged joints by artificial prosthesis made of materials such as plastic or inert metals. These are non-reactive and hence do not cause infections. The prosthesis is either cemented or uncemented depending on the age of the patient. In case of younger people, the joints are left uncemented to enable the bones to grow into it, fixing it in place while in the older generation, they are cemented in place. With the development in technology, joint replacements have been simplified with minimally invasive procedures of arthroscopy.A pioneer in joint replacement and arthroscopy,  Dr SS Soni, is one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Jaipur.

Knee Replacement: Relieving Knee Pain

Surgical treatment for knee pain is known as knee transplant. It’s of two types. Partial knee transplant: In this procedure the surgeon replaces only the damaged portions of the knee with plastic and metal parts. Total knee replacement: In this procedure, the complete knee is replaced with an artificial joint. It requires a major surgery and hospitalization.
Who needs a knee replacement surgery?
A knee replacement surgery is considered if the knee is stiff and painful which makes it difficult to perform even the simplest of activities and other treatments are no longer working. This surgery is mainly reserved only for people over the age of 50, and those who have severe osteoarthritis.

What happens during the surgery?
Once administered with the anaesthesia, an 8 to 12-inch incision is made in the front of the knee. The damaged part of the joint is then removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces are then shaped in such a way to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint. The artificial joint is then attached to the thigh bone, shin and knee cap with the help of cement or any other special material. When fit together, the newly installed artificial parts of the joint, will be relying on the surrounding muscles and ligaments for support and function.
How is the recovery period after the surgery?
The average hospital stay after knee joint replacement is usually three to five days. Mostly the vast majority of patients who have undergone the knee joint replacement surgery have dramatic improvement. The improvement is most notable one month or more after surgery. The pain caused by the damaged joint is completely reduced when the new gliding surface is constructed during surgery. After the knee replacement, people are standing and also moving the joint the day after surgery.
