Arthroplasty in Orthopedics
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring joint function by replacing or reconstructing damaged joints. Commonly performed on the hip, knee, and shoulder, arthroplasty is typically indicated for conditions such as severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic joint injuries. The procedure can involve total joint replacement, where the entire joint surface is replaced, or partial joint replacement, where only a portion is addressed.
