A few hours are needed for total joint replacement surgery. The operation is carried out either a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility. Your joint's damaged cartilage and bone are removed during surgery, and they are replaced with prosthetic parts composed of metal, plastic, or ceramic. The prosthetic imitates the contours and motion of a real joint. In the case of an arthritic hip, for instance, the damaged ball (the upper end of the femur) is replaced with a metal ball linked to a metal stem that is inserted into the femur, and the damaged socket is replaced with a plastic socket implanted into the pelvis. Total joint replacement carries a number of risks and consequences, both before and after surgery. Your doctor will go through all of these risks and issues with you. The majority of problems are effectively treatable. Infection, blood clots, nerve damage, and prosthesis issues including loosening or dislocation are some of the more frequent side effects following joint replacement surgery.
