At Dr. Srivatsa Subramanya’s healthcare center JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with metal, plastic, or ceramic device called a prothesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint.
A JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY usually takes from 1-2 hours. The team of Dr. Srivatsa Subramanya will remove the damaged cartilage and bone, and then the position of the new metal will be set up with all the skills and good procedures by the medical experts. After the JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY, the team of Dr. Srivatsa Subramanya may recommend physical therapy, exercise or a diet plan for the patients to follow up in the weeks up to the surgery and also post- surgery. These plans can ensure that you are healthy for the JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY.
The team of the surgeons can do some JOINT REPLACEMENT procedures using minimally invasive techniques. These techniques use fewer incisions and special tools. The recovery time for minimally invasive procedures can be quite less than it is for traditional procedures. The team of the surgeons will recommend the most appropriate procedure for their patients.
