Persistent severe joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility can make walking, climbing stairs, working, and enjoying daily life almost impossible. When severe arthritis or joint degeneration no longer responds to medications and therapy, modern joint replacement offers a proven pathway back to a pain-free, active life.
Dr Harish Ortho provides comprehensive specialist evaluation and state-of-the-art Joint Replacement in Trichy, utilizing advanced surgical techniques and durable biocompatible implants.
What Is Joint Replacement?
Joint replacement (arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure in which diseased, damaged joint surfaces are resurfaced and replaced with precision artificial components made of biocompatible alloys and specialized medical-grade polymers. The goal is to eliminate bone-on-bone friction, abolish chronic pain, and restore smooth joint alignment.
Common Joint Replacement Procedures include:
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR) & Partial/Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
- Total Hip Replacement (THR) with advanced ceramic/poly bearings
- Reverse and Anatomic Shoulder Replacement
- Revision Joint Replacement for previous failing implants
When Is Joint Replacement Recommended?
Joint replacement is recommended when advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or severe joint trauma causes disabling pain that persists despite physiotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
