Doctors replace the damaged bones in joints such as knees and hips with joint replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgeries for the knees and the hip will help in replacing the damaged bones effectively.
A total hip replacement surgery involves 3 kinds of prosthesis. The first is a cup that is used to replace the hips socket. The next is a ball that replaces the head of the thigh bone and finally, there is a stem that is attached to the thigh bone. These 3 together are responsible for the movement of the hip. In some cases, not every part will be damaged.
Knee replacement surgery involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage at the end of the thigh bone and the top of the shin bone. It may also require replacing the kneecap surface.
Damage to the knee joint can hamper simple daily activities such as walking. It could also cause visible deformities such as knock-knees or crepitus.
Ranka Hospital, Pune provides treatment and facilities for knee and hip replacement.
