Joint resection involves the removal of a portion of a joint to treat conditions such as arthritis or injury. Ligaments are not typically directly affected by joint resection, as ligaments connect bone to bone and stabilize the joint. However, changes to the joint structure after resection may impact ligament function and joint stability.
Joint resection is typically done to treat severe joint damage or arthritis that cannot be effectively managed with conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy. It is often considered when a joint replacement may not be appropriate or feasible. Deciding to proceed with joint resection is a complex process that involves careful evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon.
Pain is relieved and motion is restored, but the joint is less stable
The joints in our body is Pivot joint,Hinge joint,Gliding joints and Ball-and-Socket joint.
Joint resection involves the surgical removal of part or all of a joint. This procedure is typically done to alleviate pain and improve joint function, often in cases of severe arthritis or joint damage. After the surgery, patients may undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the affected joint.
The most commonly replaced joints are the knee and hip joints. These joints can be replaced due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury. The replacements involve surgical procedures to remove the damaged joint and replace it with artificial components.

Joint replacement has become the operation of choice for most chronic knee and hip problems, particularly because of advances in the type and quality of prostheses.
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
