What is joint replacement surgery?

An inflamed or damaged joint is removed and replaced by an artificial joint called the prosthesis. Dr Mir Jawad Zar Khan is one of India’s foremost surgeons specializing in this field. At Germanten Hospital he has brought the most innovative techniques of surgery and made it available for a very reasonable cost.

What is an articulation of joint?

An articulation is formed by the extremity of two or more bones connected to each other with powerful connective tissues. For example, the knee joint is formed by the bones of the lower limb, called the tibia, and your thigh bones called the femur. This, at the upper end, where there is the head, is "articulated" with a cavity of the basin called the acetabulum and forms the hip. The end of the bones, in an articulation, are covered with a layer of soft tissue called the "cartilage." Normal cartilaginous tissue allows movements without friction and pain. However, when the cartilage is damaged or is affected by the inflammation, it becomes rigid and painful. Each joint is enclosed by fibrous tissue or a capsule with an inner lining layer called the synovium.

Why is total joint replacement necessary?

The aim is to remove the pain resulting from cartilage destruction. Pain causes people to avoid using the joint, with muscle weakness around the joint and the consequent greater difficulty in movement. A specialist examination associated with the blood and radiographic investigations demonstrates joint involvement. Prosthetic joint replacement is taken into account when other treatments are not able to remove your pain and, therefore, your disability.

How is a prosthetic replacement performed?

Under anesthesia, Dr. Mir Jawad Zar Khan proceeds to replace your damaged joint segments. For example, in osteoarthritis of the knee, the damaged bony end and cartilage are replaced by metal components and a plastic surface, shaped to restore the movements and function of the knee. In the arthritis of the hip, the head of the damaged femur, the end of the bone is replaced by a round metal head, attached to a metal stem, inserted into the femur, and a plastic cavity inserted into the acetabulum, replacing the cavity which was damaged. Although prosthetic replacement of the knee and hip is the most frequent, joint replacement can also be undertaken in other joints such as ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, and fingers.

The materials used, in the joint replacement, at Germanten Hospital are designed to make joint movements possible, similar to your natural articulation. The prosthesis is generally composed of two metal parts that adhere perfectly to the bone components of the joint. Many types of metal have been used in the history of prosthetics, including stainless steel. Today the most used material is a titanium alloy coated with a combination of chrome and cobalt. Between the two metal components, there is a component of durable and load-resistant plastic material (polyethylene). At times, other couplings are recommended, for different purposes, such as ceramics and metal. Cement can be used to adhere the components of the prosthesis to the bone.
