Joint Replacement Surgery: A Complete Guide to Hip and Knee Replacements
Joint replacement surgery has revolutionized the treatment of severe arthritis and joint damage, offering patients a chance to regain mobility and return to an active lifestyle. At Lenus Hospital Lucknow, our Chief Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Yashwant Singh brings over 15 years of expertise in performing successful hip and knee replacement surgeries.
Understanding Joint Replacement Surgery
Joint replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the hip or knee joint and replacing it with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This procedure is typically recommended when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications no longer provide adequate pain relief.
When is Joint Replacement Recommended?
- Severe arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
- Significant joint pain that interferes with daily activities
- Limited mobility and stiffness in the joint
- Failed conservative treatments over several months
- Joint deformity or instability
- Poor quality of life due to joint problems
