What is Arthroplasty & Joint Replacement?

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased joint is repaired or replaced with an artificial implant. Joint replacement is performed when a joint becomes severely painful, stiff, or deformed due to arthritis, injury, ageing, or previous trauma.

This procedure helps to relieve pain, restore joint movement, correct deformity, and improve overall quality of life. The most commonly replaced joints are the knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow.

Key Characteristics of Arthroplasty & Joint Replacements

• Replacement of damaged joint surfaces with high-quality artificial implants

• Used for advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis

• Helps in correcting joint deformity and limb alignment

• Provides long-term pain relief and improved mobility

• Allows smooth and stable joint movement

• Reduces joint stiffness and swelling

• Improves walking ability and body balance

• Helps patients return to normal daily activities

• Modern implants are strong, durable, and long-lasting

Arthroplasty & Joint Replacements Symptoms

Patients who may need arthroplasty or joint replacement often experience:

•  Severe joint pain even at rest

•  Difficulty in walking, standing, or climbing stairs

•  Stiffness and reduced range of motion

•  Swelling and tenderness around the joint

•  Grinding or clicking sounds in the joint

•  Joint deformity or bending

•  Poor sleep due to pain 

Impact of Arthroplasty & Joint Problems on Patient Body

Severely damaged joints affect the entire body. Ongoing joint pain leads to reduced physical activity, muscle weakness, poor posture, and imbalance while walking. Patients may develop back pain, hip pain, or opposite-side joint problems due to abnormal movement patterns. Chronic pain can also lead to fatigue, stress, and reduced quality of life.

How to Overcome Joint Damage with Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty and joint replacement offer a permanent and effective solution for advanced joint disease. The damaged joint is replaced with a precisely designed artificial implant that restores smooth movement and stability. After surgery, guided physiotherapy and rehabilitation help strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and allow patients to walk, sit, and move comfortably again. With proper care, modern joint replacements can last many years and provide a pain-free, active lifestyle.
