Understanding Total Joint Replacement Surgeries
A total joint replacement is a procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon replaces damaged joint tissue with a prosthesis designed to mimic natural movement. These surgeries can help reduce the pain and disability brought on by severe joint pain, which usually stems from arthritis or injury.
The most commonly performed total joint replacements are hip and knee replacements. However, doctors can also replace the shoulders, wrists, or ankles.
People generally utilize total joint replacements when other interventions haven’t produced the desired results. They’re major surgeries that have lengthy recovery and rehabilitation times. For example, a total knee replacement might take 2-3 months to heal and up to a year to fully rehabilitate.
