Joint Replacement Surgery
Are persistent joint pain, mechanical stiffness, deformity and reduced range of motion affecting your ability to walk or perform routine activities? When structural joint degeneration reaches an advanced stage, and conservative treatment no longer provides adequate functional improvement, joint replacement surgery may be indicated. Advanced osteoarthritis, cartilage loss, joint-space narrowing, deformity, and progressive stiffness can significantly compromise joint function. Our Joint Replacement Surgery in Adyar may be considered to replace the damaged articular surface with prosthetic components and restore a more stable and functional joint.
When Is Arthroplasty Recommended?
Joint replacement will be performed when there is significant destruction, pain and limited function. Common indications include:
Recovery After Joint Replacement Surgery
Recovery is not over once the surgery is finished. An important part of rehabilitation is to gain strength, flexibility and function in the replaced joint. In most instances, the patient is encouraged to start appropriate movement and physiotherapy soon after surgery. Activities may be a component of the rehabilitation program, which could involve controlled exercises, walking practice, strengthening the muscles to avoid strain and damage, exercising the range of motion and counselling to conduct activities without injury. Recovery time varies from individual to individual. Some patients improve rapidly; others may need more time depending on their other health factors, their muscle strength, the condition of their joints and the time that they spend in rehabilitation.

Joint replacement for patients who have extensive damage to their joints can make a positive difference in their daily lives. The main aim is to decrease pain and enable movement to function properly.
