JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGEON IN INDORE WHAT IS JOINT REPLACEMENT? Joint replacement as the name suggests is the replacement of the torn or damaged joint in the body of an individual. The damaged joint in the body is replaced by artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal, plastic or ceramic. Joint replacement is most commonly done to relive joint pain that can be caused die to various reasons. Some of these reasons are as follows: 1.osteoarthritis 2.rheumatoid arthritis 3.joint injuries The joint replace surgery helps restore the mobility of the patients and give him back the old quality of life where he doesn’t have to struggle with day to day activities due to joint related issues. The joint replacement surgery is mostly performed when the medicines and physiotherapy can’t seem to relieve the pain of the patient. Common Joints Replaced: 1.Knee (most common) 2.Hip 3.Shoulder 4.Elbow 5.Ankle TYPES OF JOINT REPLACEMENT 1. Knee Replacement Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Entire knee joint is replaced — both sides of the joint and the kneecap. Partial Knee Replacement (PKR): Only one part (inner, outer, or kneecap area) of the knee is replaced. Revision Knee Replacement: Done if the first knee implant wears out or fails. 2. Hip Replacement 3. ⁠Total Hip Replacement (THR): Both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) are replaced. Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball of the hip joint is replaced. Hip Resurfacing: Bone is preserved by capping the ball instead of replacing it. Revision Hip Replacement: Second surgery if the first implant fails. 3. Shoulder Replacement Total Shoulder Replacement: Both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) are replaced. Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Only the ball part is replaced. Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Used in cases of rotator cuff damage or failed previous surgeries — ball and socket positions are reversed. 4. Elbow Replacement Replaces the damaged parts of the elbow joint with metal and plastic components. Mostly done for rheumatoid arthritis or complex fractures. 5. Ankle Replacement Less common than other joint replacements. Used in advanced arthritis or post-injury damage when movement is severely limited. SIGNS THAT ONE IS IN NEED OF JOINT REPLACEMENT: Joint replacement is usually considered when joint damage severely affects your daily life, and other treatments like medicines, physiotherapy, or injections no longer help.

Pain that wakes you up at night or limits your ability to sit, stand, or sleep. 2. Stiffness and Limited Movement Difficulty in bending, straightening, or rotating the joint. Trouble doing everyday activities like climbing stairs, walking, or lifting your arm. 3. Swelling and Inflammation Chronic swelling that doesn’t improve with rest, ice, or medicines. Signs of joint inflammation that come and go, or stay constantly. 4. Joint Deformity Visible changes like bowed legs, uneven leg length, or misalignment of the joint. The joint may appear “sunken,” twisted, or bulged. 5. Dependence on Painkillers or Walking Aids Needing pain medicines daily just to function. Using a walker, cane, or crutches regularly due to pain or weakness. 6. X-ray or MRI Shows Severe Damage Imaging shows bone-on-bone contact, joint space narrowing, cartilage loss, or joint collapse. Bone spurs, cysts, or joint erosion. 7. Failed Conservative Treatments No long-term relief from: Physiotherapy Joint injections Weight loss and lifestyle changes 8. Declining Quality of Life You avoid walking, traveling, or socializing because of joint pain. Pain interferes with work, hobbies, or mental health.

An ALL INSIDE ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION is the latest innovation in the field of ACL reconstruction with excellent patient results and long term surgical outcome. The Joint Surgeon centre is the FIRST Centre in Indore as well MP performing an ALL INSIDE ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION & INTERNAL BRACE helping our patients with quicker and better recovery. In early ACL reconstruction techniques, large incisions were required to repair tears. Later, the procedure improved by using smaller incisions and inserting a camera into the patient’s knee to project the surgery onto a monitor. Now, the All-inside ACL reconstruction procedure is less invasive and more efficient than previous techniques by using small 0.5 cm incisions inside the knee rather than large incisions. Additionally, the procedure uses graft harvested from either the patient or a donor. This graft is assembled for implantation by double-fixing it at each end with a titanium washer and sutures, then threaded through the tunnels inside the knee under camera visualization and pulled tight. The tunnel pathways are placed to mimic the native ACL’s attachments, which makes the placement of the graft more accurate. In case of athletes or high demand individuals, an additional Internal brace can be added to provide further strength to the ligament. With this technique, patient can walk with full weight just within 24-48 hours without the need of walker or brace. As compared to traditional acl reconstruction technique where patients are allowed only toe touch weight bearing & have to use walker for atleast 1-1.5 months, unnecessarily delaying recovery. This minimally invasive technique helps patients recover more quickly. There is less pain, smaller incisions and shorter rehabilitation periods. After a course of rehabilitation, most patients regain normal range of motion and control. Stability of the knee is regained with the new ACL graft, and healing and incorporation of the graft is achieved fully in weeks rather than months. The benefits of All-inside ACL reconstruction are especially valuable for athletes or patients with an active lifestyle. Previously, an ACL tear or break could ruin an athlete’s career. However, thanks to the improvements provided from this procedure, physically active patients can return to their lifestyle with minimal recovery time and less pain. Our results are much better than other renowned centres in Indore as well as India. Feel free to read our honest reviews by patients on Google as well as The Joint Surgeon page on youtube.
