Arthorplasty
What is arthroplasty?
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used.
Various types of arthritis may affect the joints. Osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease, is a loss of the cartilage or cushion in a joint and is the most common reason for arthroplasty.
Dr. Nitin Ghule has completed his fellowship in Arthroscopy & arthroplasty and gives better treatment on joint pain at Nityaseva accident hospital in Sangamner.
Different Types of Joint Replacement
While partial joint replacement or arthroplasty is the most common type of replacement therapy, there are other forms that Dr. Nitin Ghule may recommend depending on the severity of the damage to your joints. The most common forms of arthroplasty are performed on the hips and knees. Modern arthroplasty relies heavily on replacement prostheses. For example, during a hip replacement surgery, the acetabulum, or hip socket, and the head of the femur are removed and replaced with metal replicas.
Replacement joints are usually made of a ceramic mixture with alumina, zirconia, and titanium. The mixture mimics the weight and rigidity of bone without the risk of allergic reaction that could cause the body to reject the replacement. The knee is comprised of three different parts: the patella, the medial, and the lateral. In a partial knee replacement procedure, your doctor will only remove and replace the affected parts, not necessarily all three.
In most cases, however, it is better to replace all three parts and reduce the need for future knee surgeries.
Recovering after Surgery
Depending on whether you have a partial or a total joint replacement, you can expect to spend between one to four days recovering in the hospital. When you return home, you will be expected to rest and limit all physical activity for the next several weeks. Most patients who undergo a partial joint replacement can usually return to light-duty and activities within a few weeks after their surgery.
