Total Joint Replacement
Total Joint Replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial joint, often made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. This procedure is commonly performed on joints such as the hip or knee to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients suffering from conditions like arthritis or joint injuries.
The surgery typically involves making an incision over the affected joint, removing the damaged parts, and inserting the new joint. Recovery may include physical therapy to help restore strength and function. Total joint replacement can significantly enhance the quality of life for many individuals.
