FAQ’s

Why should a patient choose Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India?

The medical team includes board-certified orthopedic surgeons who are familiar with all the aspects of the musculoskeletal system. Our hospital uses the most advanced technologies available for the orthopaedic procedures and has a lower complication rate.

Why does my wrist hurt?

The bones in a joint are covered with a tough, lubricating tissue called cartilage to help provide smooth, pain-free motion to the joint. As the layer of cartilage wears away, bone begins to rub against bone, causing the irritation, swelling, stiffness, and discomfort commonly associated with arthritis.

What is a wrist replacement?

Wrist replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, removes the damaged bone and cartilage in a joint. The bone is resurfaced with implants made from metal alloy and polyethylene (plastic) to re-create the smooth gliding surface that were once intact. The purpose of the procedure is to restore movement and decrease or eliminate pain.

How long does the typical wrist implant last?

A total joint implant’s longevity will vary from patient to patient. All implants have a limited life expectancy depending on an individual’s age, weight, activity level, and medical condition. It is important to remember that an implant is a medical device that is subject to wear, which may lead to mechanical failure. Following all of your surgeon’s recommendations after surgery may enhance longevity, there is no guarantee that your particular implant will last for any specific length of time.

Do implants fail and can they be replaced?

Since implants are mechanical devices, they are subject to conditions that can lead to mechanical failure. The most common reason for implant failure in wrist replacements is implant loosening or implant wear that leads to loosening. Implant wear particles can react with the bone, causing thinning of the bone that can lead to implant loosening. In most cases, failed implants can be revised successfully to provide good results.

When should I have joint replacement surgery?

Your surgeon will evaluate your health history, perform a physical examination, and take x-rays to decide if you are a candidate for this surgery. You must then decide if your discomfort, pain or stiffness, and overall loss of quality of life justify undergoing surgery. Generally, there is no harm in waiting to have surgery if conservative, non-surgical treatments are effective.

Is age a consideration for joint replacement?

Age is not a problem if you are in reasonably good health and have the desire to continue living a productive, active life. You may ask to see your personal physician for an opinion about your general health and readiness for surgery.

What can I expect from the surgical procedure?
  • Operation- approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours
  • Outpatient surgery
  • Rehabilitation-usually 3 to 4 months of regular exercise at home. This will vary with each patient and with each surgeon.
Where will my incision be?

The incision is usually made of the on the back of the wrist to gain access to the joint.

Are there risks from surgery?

While uncommon, complications can occur during and after surgery. Some complications include infection, blood clots, implant breakage, malalignment, and premature wear. Although implant surgery is extremely successful in most cases, some patients still experience stiffness and pain. No implant will last forever and factors such as the patient’s post-surgical activities and weight can affect longevity. Be sure to discuss these and other risks with your surgeon. There are many things that your surgeon may do to minimize the potential for complications. Your surgeon may have you see a medical physician before surgery to obtain tests. You may also need to have your dental work up to date and may be shown how to prepare your home to avoid falls.

How can I prepare for surgery?

Proper preparation and a great attitude are the best ways to accomplish a rapid recovery from joint replacement. With the help of a physical therapist, get yourself as physically fit as you can before surgery. Proper nutrition and optimal medical condition can help avoid complications. See your physician prior to surgery to ensure your blood pressure, heart, and lungs are in good shape. Be prepared to continue with your exercise program after surgery.

What type of rehabilitation can one expect following surgery?

Exercise is necessary for proper healing. Early movement is important to prevent the muscles in the wrist from becoming tight. The types of exercises you may perform are gentle, range of motion exercises designed to help restore motion to the muscles in the shoulder. As your rehabilitation continues, you may begin strengthening exercises that are designed to restore strength to your shoulder. A regular exercise program at home to promote strengthening and mobility will continue up to 12 months following surgery. It is important to follow your surgeon’s prescribed recovery outline. Do not attempt exercises that are not prescribed by your surgeon, and do not attempt to alter your exercise schedule without contacting your surgeon.

What activity range can be expected after this surgical procedure?

Although wrist replacement is designed to restore motion and decrease pain, it does not return your wrist to “normal.” Like any mechanical device, it can wear out with use. Activities like heavy lifting or manual labor can cause early wear and failure of the wrist implant. Many activities should not begin until the soft tissues around the wrist heal, which can take 3 to 6 weeks. All postoperative activities should be cleared with your surgeon.

How long until I can resume my regular activities after surgery?

Patients with total wrist replacement typically require several weeks before returning to any type of lifting or repetitive movement activities. Talk to your doctor before participating in an activity that may place excess stress or movement on your shoulder. Consult with your surgeon or therapist for advice on acceptable activities.

When will I be able to return to work?

Returning to work depends on your type of work and can be as early as 2 to 6 weeks for sedentary jobs. Returning to a job that requires significant use of the arm will usually take at least 3 months. Office workers often return in 2 to 3 weeks, while patients with more strenuous jobs may require more time away from work. The timing of your return to work depends considerably upon your commitment to recovery.

Are regular visits with your surgeon required after surgery?

The surgeon will set a follow-up schedule for the first year after surgery to evaluate your progress. Usually these follow-ups occur three, six and nine months after the surgery. Annual visits may be required thereafter. Complications can occur with implants, so seeing the surgeon when you notice a change in symptoms can assist in evaluating any changes that may occur with your new joint.
