Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring function and alleviating pain in joints that are damaged by conditions such as arthritis, trauma and degenerative diseases. This procedure involves the replacement of the damaged joint (hip,shoulder,knees) with an artificial one, known as a prosthesis, to improve mobility and quality of life.
● Total Joint Arthroplasty: Involves the replacement of the entire joint, including the bone and cartilage.
● Partial Joint Arthroplasty: Only the damaged part of the joint is replaced, preserving the healthy sections.
● Revision Arthroplasty: A second surgery to replace or fix an existing joint prosthesis.

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged joint with an artificial prosthesis (implant). This procedure is performed to restore joint function, alleviate chronic pain, and improve mobility in joints affected by arthritis, trauma, or degenerative diseases. Common joints replaced include hip, knee, and shoulder joints.
Joint replacement is typically recommended when conservative treatments (medications, physical therapy, injections) have failed to provide relief, and joint pain significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life. Dr. Gowra Hari Adhikari will evaluate your condition and recommend arthroplasty if you have severe arthritis, joint damage from injury, or other conditions causing debilitating joint pain.
There are several types: Total Joint Arthroplasty (entire joint replacement), Partial Joint Arthroplasty (only damaged portion replaced), and Revision Arthroplasty (replacement or repair of an existing prosthesis). Dr. Adhikari at Prime Speciality Clinics performs both total and partial replacements, choosing the best option based on your specific condition and anatomy.
Modern joint implants are designed to last 15-20 years or more, depending on factors like your activity level, weight, and overall health. With advances in materials and surgical techniques, many patients enjoy their replacement joints for decades. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Adhikari help monitor implant function and ensure long-term success.
Recovery involves hospitalization for a few days, followed by physical therapy starting soon after surgery. Most patients can walk with assistance within 24-48 hours. Full recovery typically takes 3-6 months, with gradual improvement in strength and mobility. Dr. Adhikari provides comprehensive pre-operative preparation and post-operative rehabilitation guidance to optimize your recovery.
