Joint Replacement

Total joint replacement (an arthroplasty) is a procedure that involves removing part or all of the damaged joint and replacing it with artificial implants. Joint replacement surgery can improve mobility and provide significant pain relief. It may be required for advanced arthritis or as a result of an injury.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgery Include:

Hip Replacement Surgery

Anterior Hip Replacement

An anterior hip replacement is a new way to implant a hip replacement using minimally invasive techniques. This allows for muscle sparing instead of muscle splitting and allows for a faster recovery and fewer restrictions on activity after surgery.

Partial Hip Replacement

A partial hip replacement (a hemiarthroplasty) involves replacing the femoral head (the ball) only and not the acetabulum (socket). This procedure is used more in older patients suffering from a hip fracture and is an option when the socket is healthy.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Partial Knee Replacement

The knee joint is divided into three compartments (the lateral, medial and patellofemoral compartments). If damage only affects one or two compartments of the knee, a partial knee replacement may be recommended. A partial knee replacement procedure involves removing damaged tissue, resurfacing existing areas, and implanting artificial parts into the affected compartment(s) of the knee.

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Where the position of the ball and socket in the joint are switched over and replaced with artificial parts. A prosthetic “ball” is surgically attached at the shoulder blade, and an artificial “socket” is then constructed at the top of the upper arm bone.

By reversing the location of the ball and socket, it allows the shoulder to bypass the damaged muscles and tendons and use the muscles at the top of the arm and shoulder instead. This stabilizes the shoulder joint and restores pain-free motion and function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Joint Replacement

Joint replacement surgery is a procedure in which a damaged part or the entire joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. It is commonly performed to reduce pain and improve joint movement and function.

Joint replacement can be performed on several joints, including the hip, knee and shoulder. The appropriate procedure depends on the location and severity of joint damage.

Joint replacement may be considered when severe arthritis, joint damage or an injury causes persistent pain, stiffness and difficulty with normal activities, particularly when other treatments have not provided adequate relief.

Total joint replacement involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the joint with artificial components. The exact procedure depends on the joint being treated, such as the hip, knee or shoulder.

A total joint replacement replaces the damaged surfaces of the entire joint, while a partial replacement treats only the damaged portion. Partial replacement may be appropriate when damage is limited to a specific part of the joint.

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with artificial components. Depending on the condition, a total or partial hip replacement may be considered.

Partial knee replacement treats only the damaged compartment or compartments of the knee while preserving healthy areas of the joint. It may be considered when damage is limited to specific areas of the knee.

Reverse shoulder replacement changes the normal position of the shoulder's ball and socket using artificial components. It may be considered for certain conditions involving significant shoulder joint damage or rotator cuff problems.

Recovery varies depending on the type of joint replacement, the patient's overall health and the rehabilitation process. Physiotherapy and gradual return to activity are commonly important parts of recovery.

Physiotherapy is commonly recommended after joint replacement to help improve movement, strength, flexibility and function. The rehabilitation plan depends on the type of surgery and individual recovery.
