There are several different types of joint replacement surgery, including total joint replacement, partial joint replacement, and revision joint replacement. The choice of procedure will depend on the specific joint involved and the extent of the damage or disease.
Before undergoing joint replacement surgery, patients will typically undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if they are a good candidate for the procedure. This may include imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, as well as a physical examination and medical history review.
After surgery, patients will need to undergo a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to help regain strength, mobility, and function in the affected joint. With proper care and rehabilitation, joint replacement surgery can provide significant pain relief and improve quality of life for many patients.
