Joint Replacement Surgery or Arthroplasty is a procedure in which the arthritic or dysfunctional joint surface is replaced with a prosthetic joint. When joint replacement surgery performed, the artificial surfaces of the prosthetic joint are shaped in such a way as to allow joint movement similar to that of a healthy natural joint.

WHEN YOU NEED JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY

A person who has injured or damaged his joint may experience extremely severe pain at the site of the joint and in certain instances when the pain is very severe, one may avoid using the joint, weakening the muscles around the joint and making it even more difficult to move the joint.

If your joints are hurting you so much that it is difficult to climb up the stairs or even walk and your other treatments like medication and injections, physical therapy and exercise do not give relief to your pain and swelling of the joint, then you should think about joint replacement surgery.
