DEFINITIVE SOLUTION FOR REGAINING MOBILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Joint replacement (also known as arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure in which damaged joint surfaces are replaced with biocompatible prostheses that mimic the shape and function of the natural joint.

It is mainly indicated in patients with advanced osteoarthritis, severe cartilage wear, joint deformities, and incapacitating pain that does not improve with conservative treatments.

What does it consist of?

  • In the hip, the head of the femur and the acetabulum (pelvic socket) are replaced with highly durable metal and plastic components.

  • In the knee, the joint surfaces of the femur, tibia, and, in some cases, the patella are replaced with prostheses designed to restore alignment, mobility, and stability.

​

Benefits of joint replacement:

  • Elimination of chronic pain

  • Significant improvement in mobility and function

  • Correction of deformities

  • Improvement in quality of life and ability to perform daily activities

  • High durability of the prosthesis (15–25 years on average)

 

Hip or knee replacement is a safe procedure with a high success rate and is a definitive option when other therapies are no longer effective.
