Knee & Hip Replacement
Knee and hip replacements, two of the most common orthopedic procedures, have revolutionized the quality of life for millions worldwide. These surgeries, typically performed due to severe joint pain and impaired mobility caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury, involve replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants made of metal, plastic, or ceramic.
Hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, entails replacing the damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint with prosthetic components. The procedure aims to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve the overall functionality of the hip joint. During surgery, the orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone, then implants the artificial components, which mimic the natural hip joint's structure and function.
Similarly, knee replacement, or total knee arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged knee joint surfaces with prosthetic implants. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore knee function, and enhance the patient's quality of life. Surgeons remove damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replace them with metal and plastic implants designed to replicate the knee's natural movement and stability.

Both knee and hip replacements have undergone significant advancements over the years, resulting in improved surgical techniques, prosthetic designs, and rehabilitation protocols. Minimally invasive surgical approaches have reduced recovery times and postoperative pain for many patients. Additionally, advancements in implant materials and designs have enhanced durability, longevity, and overall performance, allowing patients to enjoy increased joint function and longevity of the implant.
Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the success of knee and hip replacement surgeries. Physical therapy and exercises help patients regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the replaced joint. Patients are typically encouraged to engage in low-impact activities like walking, swimming, and cycling to maintain joint health and functionality while minimizing the risk of implant wear and tear.
The decision to undergo knee or hip replacement surgery is not taken lightly and often involves a thorough discussion between the patient, their family, and their healthcare team. Factors such as the severity of symptoms, impact on daily activities, and the patient's overall health and lifestyle goals are carefully considered when determining the appropriateness of surgery.
