Joint Replacement Surgery
Joint Replacement Surgery is a medical procedure that involves removing a damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial joint, often made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. This surgery is commonly performed on joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients suffering from conditions like arthritis or joint injuries.
The surgery typically requires a hospital stay and may involve physical therapy afterward to help patients regain strength and movement. While many patients experience significant pain relief and improved quality of life, recovery times can vary based on individual health and the specific joint being replaced.
