Due to changes in lifestyle & lack of exercise & higher
incidence of accident trauma this problem is seen in younger
age group also. Degenerative Joint Disease (Knee & Hip) is
becoming one of the major causes for pain & immobility in the
world population with average life expectancy age increasing.
Joint Replacements has provided an Answer to this problem not
salvageable by conservative methods, thus making the patient
mobile without pain.
The ends of two or more bones form a joint and are covered
with a smooth tough layer called cartilage that allows
movement without friction. When injury or conditions like
arthritis or old age damage the cartilage, the joints become
stiff and painful. Joints are enclosed in a capsule lined a
layer called the synovium that produces fluid that reduces
friction and wear.
Joint replacement is the procedure in which the joint is
removed and replaced with an artificial joint or prosthesis.
Damaged or diseased joints produce pain that may be severe and
debilitating. Movement becomes gradually restricted. Total
joint replacement is considered if other treatment options do
not relieve pain and disability.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia. The damaged ends
of the bones and cartilage are removed and replaced with metal
and plastic surfaces that are shaped to restore movement and
function of the joint.
High Speed trauma causes polytrauma which is a challenge to
deal in orthopaedics. With bone loss & gaps & nonunions
techniques like Illizarov have given encouraging results.
Closed Intramedullary nailing of long bones is another boon
for polytrauma cases because blood loss is minimum. & patient
can be mobilized early.
