Joint Replacement Surgery is a procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint is replaced with an artificial implant, typically made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Commonly performed on knees, hips, and shoulders, this surgery is used to relieve chronic pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from arthritis, severe joint injury, or degenerative joint conditions. The goal of joint replacement is to improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing pain, enhancing movement, and increasing joint functionality.
Microplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in joint replacement procedures, particularly for partial knee replacements. This approach involves making smaller incisions and using specialized instruments to replace only the damaged portion of the joint, preserving healthy bone and tissue. Microplasty offers benefits such as reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring, making it an ideal option for patients with early-stage joint damage or arthritis affecting a limited area.
The Subvastus Approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique used primarily in knee replacement procedures. It involves accessing the knee joint by working underneath the vastus medialis muscle, part of the quadriceps, without cutting through it. This approach helps preserve muscle function, resulting in less post-operative pain, faster recovery, and quicker restoration of knee mobility. The Subvastus Approach is particularly beneficial for patients looking to minimize recovery time and improve early functional outcomes following knee replacement surgery.
