Joint Replacement
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of a damaged joint are replaced with artificial components. It is used to treat severe joint pain and disability resulting from conditions such as severe arthritis, osteoarthritis, and trauma. Artificial joint components are usually made of materials such as metal and plastics. Joint replacement surgery can significantly improve a patient's mobility and reduce pain. The procedure can also increase overall quality of life, allowing the patient to return to their daily activities.
