Replacement arthroplasty, often known as joint replacement surgery, is an ortho surgical procedure that involves replacing an arthritic or defective joint surface with an orthopedic prosthetic. When less intrusive procedures fail to relieve severe joint pain or dysfunction, joint replacement is regarded as a therapeutic option. It is a kind of arthroplasty that is frequently used to treat different joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although hip and knee replacements are by far the most frequent joint replacements — replacement surgery can also be conducted on certain joints such as the ankle, wrist, shoulder, and elbow. Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, can help reduce discomfort and help repair badly damaged knee joints. Knee replacement surgery entails disclosing the front of the knee and detaching a portion of the quadriceps muscle (vastus medialis) from the patella.
