Overview Of Joint Replacement Surgery |
If you suffer from osteoarthritis in your knees, shoulders, hips, or ankles and these joints have deteriorated to the point where they are causing you pain, you may want to consider joint replacement surgery. All types of joint replacement surgery have excellent success rates, and patients can expect an almost complete recovery of joint motion. You may be eligible for joint replacement surgery if you meet the following criteria.
# You have pain associated with osteoarthritis in your ankle, hip, knee, or shoulder.
# You have an injury to one of these joints, and it is no longer working or you are in extreme pain.
While replacement surgeries are fairly common and have an excellent success rate, patients should be reminded that this is major surgery. As such, there may be complications that can arise either from surgery or post-operative care. These may include infection, rejection of the graft, dislocation of the joint, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and nerve damage. In addition to these risks, some risks are common to all surgeries. These can include heart attack, stroke, and embolism. You should not have joint replacement surgery if:
# You are unwell, in that you have recently recovered from a major illness or surgery
# You have a serious heart condition.
# If you have any kind of infection of any kind.

Joint pain and immobility are preferable to the risks of major surgery.
Once you have decided to undergo your joint replacement surgery, you may be able to have a complete or partial joint replacement, depending on the condition of the joint and the integrity of the remaining bone. You can have titanium, ceramic, or composite joint, but this will depend on the surgeon performing the procedure. You can expect to be hospitalized for a few days after your operation, followed by a few weeks to keep weight off the joint. After this several months of strength and endurance training may be necessary.
