Joint replacement surgery removes damaged or diseased parts of a joint and replaces them with new, man-made parts.

Replacing a joint can reduce pain and help you move and feel better. Hips and knees are replaced most often. Other joints that can be replaced include the shoulders, fingers, ankles, and elbows.

Points To Remember About Joint Replacement Surgery

• The goals of joint replacement surgery are to relieve pain, help the joint work better, and improve walking and other movements.
• Risks of problems after joint replacement surgery are much lower than they used to be.
• An exercise program can reduce joint pain and stiffness.
• Wearing away of the joint surface may become a problem after 15 to 20 years.
