Orthopaedic Treatment: Knee, Hip & Joint Replacement

Orthopaedic Treatment

Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the diseased or damaged parts of a joint are removed and replaced with an artificial device, typically made of metal, plastic or ceramic. This artificial component is called a prosthesis and is designed to replicate the natural joint movements of the body as closely as possible.
