Joint replacement surgery provides complete pain relief and increased quality of life for those with troublesome joints. Shashwat Hospital’s orthopaedic specialists have significant experience with joint replacements and can provide good results for both children and adults. A knee replacement may be required for a variety of reasons, but the most common is arthritis, a severe condition.Medicines, physiotherapy, splints, diathermy, and weight loss can help reduce discomfort in the early stages. Hip or knee joints consisting of specific alloy metal and ultra-high density polyethene (UHDP) plastic are inserted on the resurfaced area. It can be secured with or without the use of cement.

Many persons with debilitating joint pain can benefit from hip and knee replacement surgery. Joints are produced by cartilage tissue connecting the ends of two or more bones. When cartilage is healthy, it acts as a cushion between the bones, but when it is injured or wears away, the bones can rub against each other, producing severe pain. Joint replacement can relieve pain, restore joint movement, and improve a patient’s overall quality of life.
