Suffering From Joint Pain?

Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. Most commonly performed for osteoarthritis, which is inflammation related to wear and tear of the knee joint, the procedure can also help people who have a damaged joint caused by injury, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital deformities, and so on. Knee replacement surgery can be performed as a total or partial replacement.

Hip replacement is meant for people with critical hip damage, which causes pain, swelling, and reduced motion in the joints. When other treatments like physiotherapy and pain medicines do not offer a lasting solution, it might be time to consider hip replacement surgery. The hip replacement procedure involves replacing the damaged cartilage and bone from the hip joint with new, artificial parts. The surgery generally relieves pain, and improves walking and other movements.

Shoulder replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a worn, arthritic shoulder joint with an artificial joint. Aching pain and extreme stiffness of the shoulder over prolonged periods are usually a sign of osteoarthritis. Inflamed joints can also be caused by injury and rheumatoid arthritis. It is wise to consider shoulder replacement if the pain is deteriorating the quality of your life. Different types of shoulder replacements include total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty and hemi-arthroplasty.
