What is Arthroplasty / Joint Replacement?

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant (called a prosthesis) to relieve pain and restore movement. It is most commonly performed on the knee, hip, and shoulder joints, but can also be done on elbows, ankles, and fingers. Joint replacement is typically recommended when:

• The joint is severely damaged due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis
• Pain persists despite medications or physical therapy
• Daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing become difficult
• Joint stiffness and swelling reduce your range of motion

The goal of arthroplasty is to relieve pain, restore function, and help you return to a normal, active lifestyle.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries

Dr. Chetan Patil specializes in a wide range of joint replacement procedures, including:

• ✅ Total Knee Replacement (TKR) – The entire knee joint is replaced with artificial components. Ideal for patients with advanced arthritis or deformities.
• ✅ Partial Knee Replacement – Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, preserving healthy structures.
• ✅ Total Hip Replacement (THR) – The hip socket and femoral head are replaced with prosthetic parts to relieve hip arthritis or injury.
• ✅ Shoulder Replacement – Used for patients with rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, or trauma affecting shoulder movement.

Each surgery is customized based on the patient’s joint condition, age, bone health, and lifestyle.

Treatment – How Joint Replacement is Performed

Joint replacement is a well-established and highly successful surgery. Dr. Chetan uses minimally invasive techniques wherever possible to reduce tissue damage and speed up healing. Key steps include:

• Removing the damaged cartilage and bone
• Preparing the joint surfaces
• Placing and securing the artificial joint components (metal, ceramic, or plastic)
• Ensuring correct alignment and movement range

The surgery is typically performed under spinal or general anesthesia and lasts 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the joint and complexity.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery doesn’t end with surgery—it begins there. Dr. Chetan provides a comprehensive post-operative care plan, including:

• 🏥 Hospital Stay – Patients usually stay for 2–4 days post-surgery for observation and pain management.
• 🧍‍♂️ Early Mobilization – Patients are encouraged to start walking with support within 24–48 hours after surgery, which promotes circulation and healing.
• 💪 Physiotherapy – Customized rehabilitation exercises help restore strength, flexibility, and joint motion. Physiotherapy can continue for several weeks to months.
• 🍲 Nutrition & Support – Dr. Chetan provides guidance on dietary intake and supplements that promote bone healing and reduce inflammation.
• 💼 Back to Routine – Most patients resume routine daily activities within 4–6 weeks and can return to driving and work within 6–8 weeks (depending on job nature). Full recovery may take 3–6 months for certain joints.

What to Expect After Joint Replacement

With the right surgeon and post-op care, patients can expect:

• Dramatic reduction in joint pain
• Improved joint function and range of motion
• Better sleep and improved quality of life
• Increased mobility and independence
• Return to light sports, walking, travel, and work
