Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore joint function. The joint can be restored by rematerializing the bones. An artificial joint (prosthesis) can be used. Different types of arthritis may affect rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or osteoarthritis, congenital discharge in the hip joint, acetabular dysplasia, frozen shoulder of the hip joint, traumatized joint, loose shoulder, joint stiffness and this is the most common reason for Arthroplasty. Arthroplasty can be used when medical treatments no longer effectively alleviate disability and joint pain. People undergone arthroplasty usually have a marked improvement in joint pain, quality of life and ability to perform activities. Some possible complications during arthroplasty include infection, bleeding, blood clots in the lungs or legs, loosening of prosthetic parts. The prosthesis for surgery selected must be nontoxic durable and compatible. Fulfilling all these criteria usually means that the material (prosthesis) will not last for 10-20 years.
