About "Arthroplasty of shoulder, knee and Hip"

An orthopedic surgical procedure that replaces, remodels or realigns the part of the bone that forms a joint is called arthroplasty. Arthroplasty can be done in the shoulder, knee, and hip joints. The types of arthroplasty that can be done in these joints are:

• Joint replacement – Replacing diseased portion or the entire joint with a prosthesis.
• Interposition arthroplasty – Placing other tissue like skin or muscle between inflammatory surfaces of the joint.
• Excisional arthroplasty – Bone from the joint surface is removed, and scar tissue forms in between.
• Resurfacing arthroplasty – The surface of the bones are trimmed and replaced with a metal covering.
• Osteotomy – The bone is cut.
