Acibadem Arthroplasty Center
In the knee and hip joints in particular, wear and tear of the cartilage surfaces over time causes pain, stiffness, and limited movement in these joints. In advanced cases of this disease, called osteoarthritis, the cartilage loss can reach serious proportions. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease, can also affect the joint membranes and cause inflammation in the joints. This inflammation can also cause damage to the joints, resulting in cartilage loss. In addition to severe cartilage loss in joints such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, serious injuries, fractures, or torn ligaments can also cause permanent damage and cartilage loss in the knee and hip joints. These conditions are usually treated with joint replacement surgery.
Arthroplasty is usually performed by implanting a prosthetic device. This involves removing the damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with an artificial joint implant. Prosthetic implants can be made of materials such as metal, ceramic, and plastic and create a smooth surface in the joint that mimics normal joint movement.

How is arthroplasty performed?
Arthroplasty surgery can vary depending on factors such as the experience of the surgical team, the techniques used, and the characteristics of the patient. It is a procedure that can take several hours.
The patient will be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon before surgery. The treatment plan is determined based on the patient’s medical condition, the severity of the joint problem, and other medical factors.
The patient undergoes surgery and is given an appropriate form of anesthesia, such as general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. The surgeon accesses the joint to be treated through an incision or minimally invasive techniques. Damaged joint surfaces and other tissues are removed. For example, in knee replacement surgery, damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint are removed. The damaged tissue is replaced with an artificial joint replacement. This prosthesis is designed to mimic the movement of the joint and reduce pain. Once the surgery is complete, the surgical field is closed and the patient’s recovery process begins.
The patient will usually need to stay in the hospital for a few days after surgery. During this time, the patient will be closely monitored by the surgical team, and pain management and other medical needs will be addressed as needed.
