Orthopedic Treatment
Total Joint Replacement Surgery
Joint replacement surgery involves replacing a destroyed joint with an artificial joint. In knee or hip replacement surgery, the artificial joint is made out of metal and plastic. In the case of joint replacement in the hand, the new joint is most commonly composed of silicone rubber or the patient's own tissues such as a portion of tendon.
Joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, is very common. Each year, orthopedic surgeons perform thousands of joint replacement surgeries in the U.S. (Most of these procedures are performed on the large weight-bearing joints such as the hips and knees.) Joint replacement surgery in the hand is typically used in treating severe arthritis that involves the small joints of the hand.
What are the different surgical options ?
Surgical options include : -
- cleaning of the abnormal cartilage and bone, including removal of bone spurs,
- fusion of the joint, and
- joint replacement surgery.
The optimal surgical treatment of arthritis of the hand and wrist varies from patient to patient and is based on many factors. These factors include the patient's age, hand dominance, employment, level of pain, functional goals, and underlying disease.
When is surgical cleaning of the joint the best alternative ?
Surgical cleaning of the joint, or salvage procedure, is usually performed in cases of early "wear and tear" arthritis where there are painful bone spurs or, in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, where there is a large amount of inflamed tissue. Removal of bone spurs is especially helpful when the arthritis involves the joints at the ends of the fingers.
Joint replacement surgery is usually done to cure relentless pain that can't be controlled by non-surgical therapy. There are many renowned hospitals in India that provides joint replacement surgery to the patients. The highly sophisticated medical instruments in these hospitals accompanied with efficient surgeons ensure best and reliable joint replacement.
