Joint Replacement

Joint replacement is surgery to replace all or part of the hip & knee joint with an artificial device.

Description:
The hip & knee is a ball and socket joint, linking the "ball" at the head of the thigh bone (femur) with the cup-shaped "socket" in the pelvic bone. A total hip prosthesis is surgically implanted to replace the damaged bone within the hip joint.

A metal or ceramic ball that will replace the fractured head of the thigh bone. A metal stem that is attached to the shaft of the bone to add stability to the prosthesis. If the surgery is a "hemi-arthroplasty," the only bone replaced with a prosthetic device is the head of the femur. Patient will receive an extensive preoperative evaluation of his/her joint to determine if patient is a candidate for a hip replacement procedure. Our health care provider will assess the degree of disability, impact on patient's lifestyle, and pre-existing medical conditions.
The health care provider will also evaluate patient's heart and lung function.

The surgery will be performed using general or spinal anesthesia. The orthopedic surgeon makes an surgical cut, often over the hip or knee, to expose the joint. The head of the thigh bone is removed. Then, the hip or knee socket is cleaned out and a tool called a reamer removes all of the remaining cartilage and arthritic bone.

The new socket is implanted, after which the metal stem is inserted into the thigh bone. The artificial components are fixed in place, sometimes with special cement. The muscles and tendons are then replaced against the bones and the surgical cut is closed. Patient will return from surgery with a large dressing on the hip or knee area.
