JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGEON IN AURANGABAD

• What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?
• Dr. Yashwant Gade runs his own setup Gade
  Hospital, He is a Joint Replacement Surgeon In
  Aurangabad. Joint replacement surgery is removing
  damaged joint and putting in a new one. A joint
  is where two or more bones come together, like
  the knee, hip, and shoulder. The surgery is
  usually done by a doctor.
• Several conditions can cause joint pain and
  disability  lead patients to consider joint
  replacement surgery. In many cases, joint pain is
  caused by damage to the cartilage that lines the
  ends of the bones either from arthritis, a
  fracture, or another condition. In a normal
  joint, the joint surface is covered by a smooth
  articular surface that allows for smooth movement
  within the joint, whereas in arthritic joint the
  cartilage is gradually worn out causing the
  articular ends of the bones to rub against one
  another leading to pain and restricted range of
  motion.

Types of Joint Replacement

• 1. TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT
• The knee is the larger joint in the body, and
  having healthy knees is crucial for performing
  everyday activities like walking. Its comprised
  of the low end of the femur, the top end of the
  tibia, and the patella, which is also known as
  the kneecap. The knee can become severely damaged
  by an injury or arthritis, making it impossible
  to complete regular activities. In a total knee
  replacement, the surgeon will cut out the damaged
  cartilage area at the ends of the femur and
  tibia, and then change them with metal components
  to provide new surfaces inside the joint. A
  spacer is also inserted between the metal
  components to allow the joint to glide smoothly.

2. TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

• In a total hip replacement (also called total hip
  arthroplasty), the damaged bone and cartilage is
  removed and replaced with prosthetic
  components.The damaged femoral head is removed
  and replaced with a metal stem that is placed
  into the hollow center of the femur. The femoral
  stem may be either cemented or press fit into
  the bone.A metal or ceramic ball is placed on
  the upper part of the stem. This ball replaces
  the damaged femoral head that was removed.The
  damaged cartilage surface of the socket (
  acetabulum) is removed and replaced with a metal
  socket. Screws or cement are sometimes used to
  hold the socket in place.A plastic, ceramic, or
  metal spacer is inserted between the new ball and
  the socket to allow for a smooth gliding surface.

3. SHOULDER JOINT REPLACEMENT

• The shoulder consists of three different bones
  the upper arm bone or the humerus, the shoulder
  blade or the scapula, and the collarbone or
  clavicle. The shoulder is one more example of a
  ball-and-socket joint, and the cartilage area of
  the ball and socket are supposed to glide
  smoothly against each other when you move your
  shoulder.
• In shoulder replacement surgery, the damaged
  parts of the shoulder are removed and replaced
  with artificial components, called a prosthesis.
• The treatment options are either replacement of
  just the head of the humerus bone (ball), or
  replacement of both the ball and the socket
  (glenoid).

What Happens During Surgery ?

• First, the surgical team will give you medicine
  so you wont feel pain (anesthesia). The medicine
  may block the pain only in one part of the body
  (regional), or it may put your whole body to
  sleep (general). The team will then replace the
  damaged joint with a prosthesis.
• Each surgery is different. How long it takes
  depends on how badly the joint is damaged and how
  the surgery is done. To replace a knee or a hip
  takes about 2 hours or less unless there are
  complicating factors. After surgery, you will be
  moved to a recovery room for 1 to 2 hours until
  you are fully awake or the numbness goes away.
