Who would be offered Joint Replacement Surgery?

This course of treatment is offered to people whose natural joints have been worn out by disease or trauma and face difficulty in doing their daily life activities such as walking, climbing of stairs, sitting etc. This treatment helps in restoring the functions of joint.

What would be the life of a replaced Joint?

Healthy organic cartilage surface is the best surface where there is minimal friction, however in the event of replacement with an implant, the friction is higher and there is likely hood of wear and tear, thus limiting the life of the implant. The life of such implants is anywhere between 15-20 years. A lot of research is ongoing to increase the life of an implant.

History of Joint Replacement Surgery implant materials

History of Joint Replacements dates back to 1960’s and 1970’s, when different material were tried to replace the worn-out bearing surfaces including Teflon® and metallic alloys such as stainless steel and cobalt-chromium alloy. But through the 1980’s and much of the 1990’s, the preferred bearing combination was ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and cobalt-chromium. Polyethylene results in a low amount of friction when bearing against a highly polished metallic surface. Today, metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic combinations are being considered as alternative bearing surfaces. All the material used in Joint Replacement Surgeries are biocompatible and are considered medically safe.

Joint Replacement a few decades ago was a choice of treatment for the geriatric group. But, now, with the advancement of science and technology and the need for active life has brought down the age of patient to their Early 20’s itself. The selection of material of joints for each patient is done by customizing to the needs of the patient based on the age, activity level and extent of patient’s joint pain/ problems.
