Joint and Knee Preservation
Joint preservation refers to surgical and nonsurgical procedures to preserve cartilage, prevent injury, and reduce inflammation. It also helps reduce the risks and complications related to implant surgery. Joint preservation is an effective treatment for patients suffering from osteoarthritis because the cartilage has deteriorated. The procedure helps such patients restore normal movement and alleviate joint pain in the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. Knee preservation arthroscopy or KPA refers to various keyhole procedures to treat structural damage to the knees. The procedure helps prevent irreversible knee damage that would require total knee replacement.
Joint Replacement Surgery
Partial Knee Replacement Surgery
A partial knee replacement surgery helps preserve healthy knee tissues and bones. The surgery is performed to replace the damaged part of a knee with prosthetics and is ideally done when the damage is limited to a particular part of the knee. While earlier, partial knee replacement was performed on older patients, today, even younger patients undergo this surgery because recovery is quicker and less painful in such patients. If you have knee pain that persists despite medication and after maintaining a healthy weight, consult one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Nagercoil for an initial consultation to discuss further treatment.
Total Joint Replacement Surgery
Total joint replacement surgery involves removing or replacing damaged joints with metal, plastic, or ceramic prosthetics. The prosthesis replaces the movement of a normal and healthy joint. It is recommended for patients suffering from severe joint pain or stiffness that limits everyday activities due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis. Joint replacement surgery is the only remedy when nonsurgical treatments like medications and physiotherapy do not alleviate pain. Consult our orthopaedic surgeons in Nagercoil to learn more about the surgery, including risks and complications.
Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Total knee replacement surgeries are recommended for people suffering from simple everyday activities like walking and climbing stairs due to arthritis. Generally, surgery is the only option when nonsurgical options do not work. It is now a routine procedure in India, with thousands of patients between 50 and 80 opting for the surgery. Patients experiencing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. During the procedure, the surgeon replaces the damaged cartilage and bone with an implant made from metal, plastic, or both.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery
There are two types of replacement procedures – minimally invasive hip replacement and traditional hip replacement. Hip replacement or arthroplasty helps alleviate pain, inflammation, and damage to the hip joint due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, hip fracture, or tumour in the hip joint. The surgeon replaces the ball and socket during total hip replacement surgery. Discuss with your ortho specialist in Nagercoil about a surgical approach that’s best for you.
Total Shoulder Joint Replacement
A shoulder joint replacement surgery isn’t as prevalent as knee or hip replacement and is recommended only when nonsurgical treatments do not alleviate pain, affecting everyday life. Some conditions that damage the joints include osteoarthritis, rotator cuff injuries, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The surgery helps lessen pain and restores movement of the joint. It takes around 2 hours for the surgery, after which you will be moved to the recovery room and provided a sling that limits the use of your arm.
