What is a Total Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement is a procedure to replace the diseased (arthritic) parts of the joint with artificial joint components. Knee replacement surgery is becoming an increasingly common way of treating the condition in older people and, recently, young people as well.
Who Needs a Total Knee Replacement?
You should get a knee replacement if your daily life is hindered by knee pain. Replacing the painful arthritic joint with an artificial joint gives the bones new surfaces, which move smoothly and painlessly. The goal is to help you return to your normal activities with less pain and greater freedom of movement.
What is a Total Hip replacement?
Total hip replacement surgery involves replacing the worn-out hip with artificial joint components. These components come together to form a smooth gliding surface which enables painless hip movement. These components are made of materials like ceramic, metal and polyethylene.
Who Needs a Total Hip Replacement?
You may need hip replacement surgery when arthritis limits your everyday activity like walking and climbing of stairs, and when conservative treatments like medication and physical therapy have failed to improve your condition.
