What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint is removed and replaced with artificial components called prostheses. These implants are designed to replicate the natural movement of the joint, reduce pain, and restore function.

Joints such as the knee, hip, and shoulder are commonly affected by arthritis, injury, or degeneration. Joint replacement surgery replaces the damaged surfaces with durable metal, ceramic, or medical-grade plastic implants, allowing smooth and pain-free movement.
