Arthroplasty is an established surgical method for treating severe degenerative joint conditions when pain and limited functionality significantly affect the patient's daily life.
During the procedure, damaged joint surfaces are replaced with specialized implants, aiming to improve joint function and reduce pain. The decision to proceed with arthroplasty is made on an individual basis, following an assessment of the joint's condition and the patient's needs.
Arthroplasty is primarily performed on large joints, such as:
Arthroplasty may be considered in cases of advanced οστεοαρθρίτιδας, significant joint destruction or other conditions causing persistent pain and significant functional limitation.
The treatment decision is made after evaluating the clinical presentation, imaging findings, the patient's general condition, and the impact of symptoms on their daily life.
The primary goal is to manage pain and improve joint function, enabling the patient to gradually return to their daily activities.
Postoperative rehabilitation is an important part of the overall treatment and is tailored to the procedure and the needs of each patient.
