What is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint replacement surgery is a medical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint is carefully replaced with an artificial one, known as a prosthesis. Typically, this surgery is most commonly performed on major joints like the knees, hips, and shoulders, although it can also be applied to other joints when necessary. Generally, joint replacement is recommended when joint pain and limited mobility begin to significantly impact daily activities. Furthermore, it becomes an option when non-surgical treatments, including medication and physiotherapy, no longer provide sufficient relief.
Common Conditions Treated with Joint Replacement
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition causing cartilage breakdown.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that inflames the joints.
- Trauma or Injury: Fractures or joint damage due to accidents.
- Avascular Necrosis: The death of bone tissue due to restricted blood supply.
- Joint Deformities: Congenital or acquired deformities leading to restricted joint movement.

What to Expect?
First and foremost, Dr. Chaturvedi will conduct a thorough examination of your joint condition. This evaluation includes various imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to accurately assess the extent of any joint damage. During this initial consultation, he will also discuss potential treatment options and set realistic expectations for surgery, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the upcoming procedure.
Surgery
When it comes time for surgery, the duration generally varies based on the specific joint being replaced and the patient’s overall condition, lasting typically between 1 to 2 hours. Dr. Chaturvedi employs the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive methods whenever possible, to reduce recovery time and improve overall outcomes. Consequently, patients benefit from shorter hospital stays and a faster path to recovery.
