Joint replacement surgeries are essential for relieving pain and restoring mobility in individuals suffering from severe joint damage or arthritis. These procedures involve replacing damaged joints with prosthetic components made from advanced materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic to ensure long-term success.

Hip replacement surgery is a common procedure where the damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial prosthesis, typically recommended for those with arthritis or fractures. Knee replacement follows a similar approach, substituting the knee joint with a metal and polyethylene prosthetic, either cemented in place or designed for natural bone integration. Shoulder replacement surgery focuses on restoring function to the ball-and-socket joint by replacing damaged areas with artificial components tailored to the patient’s needs.

Other joint replacements include elbow, wrist, and ankle surgeries. Elbow replacement is necessary when severe damage impairs movement, while wrist joint replacement helps alleviate arthritis-related pain. Ankle replacement is recommended for advanced arthritis, improving mobility and reducing.
