What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery is a medical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint is replaced with an artificial implant. Most commonly performed on knees, hips, and shoulders, this surgery is recommended when joint pain and stiffness severely interfere with daily activities and non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief. The procedure involves removing the affected joint surfaces and replacing them with metal, plastic, or ceramic components designed to mimic natural movement.

Why Joint Replacement Surgery is Needed

Joints can deteriorate due to age, arthritis, injury, or other chronic conditions. When this happens, the pain can become unbearable and limit mobility. Joint replacement surgery becomes essential when:

• Daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of bed become difficult
  
• Medications and physiotherapy no longer provide sufficient relief
  
• Joint deformity or stiffness begins to affect independence

By choosing joint replacement surgery, patients regain control over their mobility, reduce pain significantly, and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.
