Joint Replacement
Joint replacement surgery, is a procedure of
orthopedic surgery in which an arthritic or
dysfunctional joint surface is replaced with an
orthopedic prosthesis. Joint replacement is
considered as a treatment when severe joint pain
or dysfunction is not alleviated by less-invasive
therapies

Types Of Joint Replacement

• Knee Replacement
• Hip Replacement
• Fracture treatment
• Reconstructive surgery
• Revision Surgery
• Sports Injuries
• Spinal Fractures
• Spinal Disc Disease

Knee Replacement
The knee is the largest joint in the body and
having healthy knees is required to perform most
everyday activities. The knee is made up of the
lower end of the thighbone (femur), the upper end
of the shinbone (tibia), and the kneecap
(patella). The ends of these three bones where
they touch are covered with articular cartilage,
a smooth substance that protects the bones and
enables them to move easily.
5
Hip Replacement
The hip is one of the body's largest joints. It
is a ball-and-socket joint. The socket is formed
by the acetabulum, which is part of the large
pelvis bone. The ball is the femoral head, which
is the upper end of the femur (thighbone). The
bone surfaces of the ball and socket are covered
with articular cartilage, a smooth tissue that
cushions the ends of the bones and enables them
to move easily.
6
Fracture Treatment
A fracture is a broken bone. A bone may be
completely fractured or partially fractured in
any number of ways (crosswise, lengthwise, in
multiple pieces). Bones are rigid, but they do
bend or "give" somewhat when an outside force is
applied. However, if the force is too great, the
bones will break, just as a plastic ruler breaks
when it is bent too far.  The severity of a
fracture usually depends on the force that caused
the break.

Reconstructive Surgery
There are two basic categories of patients those
who have congenital deformities, otherwise known
as birth defects, and those with developmental
deformities, acquired as a result of accident,
infection, disease, or in some cases, aging. Some
common examples of congenital abnormalities are
birthmarks cleft-lip and palate deformities
hand deformities such as syndactyly (webbed
fingers), or extra or absent fingers and
abnormal breast development.

Revision Surgery
In most cases revision surgery is not due to an
error or mistake of a previous operation. Spinal
surgery is a complex field and even the very best
and most experienced surgeons do not always get
excellent results. Common reasons for revision
surgery include such problems as pseudarthrosis
(failure to achieve solid fusion) which may be
due to poor tissue healing and patient related
factors.

Sports Injuries
Exercising is good for you, but sometimes you can
injure yourself when you play sports or exercise.
Accidents, poor training practices, or improper
gear can cause them. Some people get hurt because
they are not in shape. Not warming up or
stretching enough can also lead to injuries.
Other possible treatments include pain relievers,
keeping the injured area from moving,
rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery.
10
Spinal Fractures
Spinal fractures can vary widely in severity.
While some fractures are very serious injuries
that require emergency treatment, other fractures
can be the result of bones weakened by
osteoporosis.Most spinal fractures occur in the
thoracic (midback) and lumbar spine (lower back)
or at the connection of the two (thoracolumbar
junction).
11
Spinal Disc Disease
Only a person who has experienced a damaged
spinal disk understands the agony and
helplessness it brings. The pain can be
excruciating. Every movement seems to make it
worse. This pain is a warning signal that you
should heed. If you take appropriate action, the
discomfort usually stops, and the problem can be
corrected. Spinal disks are rubbery pads between
the vertebrae, the specialized bones that make up
the spinal column.
