What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

This is just a sample from our e-book..

Many people are faced with Joint replacement surgery and in some cases they are too traumatised to absorb the information supplied to them by their medical carers.

This report endeavours to explain the procedure about Joint Replacement surgery. Put simply, It is the removing a damaged joint and putting in of a new joint.

A joint is where two or more bones come together, like the knee, hip, and shoulder. The surgery is usually done by a doctor called an orthopaedic surgeon and in some cases the surgeon won't remove the whole joint but will only replace or fix the damaged parts.

The doctor may suggest a joint replacement to improve how you live. Replacing a joint can help you relieve pain and move and feel better. Joints that can be replaced include the shoulders, fingers, ankles, and elbows. Hips and knees are replaced most often.

What Can Happen to My Joints?

The joints can be damaged by arthritis and some other diseases, injuries. Arthritis or simply years of use may cause the joint to wear away. This can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling. Bones are alive, and need blood to be healthy, grow, and repair themselves. Diseases and damage inside a joint can limit blood flow, causing problems.

What Is a New Joint Like?

A new joint, called a prosthesis might be made of plastic, metal, or both. It may be cemented into place or not cemented, so that your bone will grow into it. Both methods may be combined to keep the new joint in place..............................end of sample
