ARTHROPLASTY-Joint replacement surgery
Joint replacement surgery is one of the miracles of modern medicine. It has led to a profound improvement in the lives of millions of patients suffering from arthritis. Joint replacement is advised when non-operative treatment fails to relieve the symptoms. In this procedure, the worn-out surfaces of the arthritic joint are replaced by artificial bearing surfaces (prosthesis). This provides a lasting relief of pain, restores movements to joints, corrects any deformities at the joint and improves the quality of life and functional level of the patient.
