Many Arkansans enjoy an active lifestyle, engaging in a variety of sports, fitness and outdoor fun. Quality of life can be greatly hindered when you encounter problems with your muscles and joints. Your body has many different functioning, moving parts, and it requires maintenance. Often, the pain you feel may be eased with an over-the-counter medication.
A Total Joint Replacement is when an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. The goal is to relieve the pain in the joint caused by the damage done to the cartilage. The pain may be so severe, a person will avoid using the joint, weakening the muscles around the joint and making it even more difficult to move the joint.
When it seems like you've tried everything and still don't have any relief from your knee pain and debilitation, it may be time to consider knee replacement surgery. There are two different types of knee replacement procedures your doctor may recommend to relieve your knee pain, partial knee replacement, also called uni-compartmental replacement, or total knee replacement.
If hip pain is keeping you up at night and making it difficult for you to get up from chairs, stand, walk, or use stairs, a total hip replacement (THR) surgery may be a possible treatment option. The goal of a total hip replacement is to reduce hip pain and improve the motion in your hip. Your hip joint is made up of two parts, the socket, in your hip or pelvic bone and the ball, at the top of your upper leg bone (femur).
Many people know someone with an artificial knee or hip joint. Shoulder replacement is less common. But it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. Shoulder replacement surgery started in the United States in the 1950s. It was used as a treatment for severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, this surgery has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder.
