Artroplastikat

Artroplastikat is a medical procedure involving the replacement of a joint with a prosthetic component. This form of surgery is commonly known as joint replacement or arthroplasty. The goal of artroplastikat is to alleviate chronic pain and restore mobility to affected joints, particularly those damaged by trauma, degenerative diseases, or congenital conditions.

Patients typically undergo artroplastikat as a result of severe joint degeneration, often due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. In such cases, conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication may no longer be effective, prompting the decision to opt for surgical intervention.

During the procedure, the damaged joint is first thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the implantation of the prosthetic component. This involves removing any diseased or damaged tissue and reshaping the surrounding bone to accommodate the new joint. The prosthetic components, made from various materials such as metal, ceramic, or plastic, are then implanted, often in conjunction with a specialized surgical cement.

The type of prosthetic implant used depends on the specific joint being replaced, as well as the patient's individual needs and preferences. Commonly replaced joints include the hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, and fingers. While artroplastikat offers significant pain relief and improved mobility, it carries risks and potential complications, including infection, blood clots, and implant loosening, which can necessitate further surgical intervention.
