How do I prepare for an arthroplasty procedure?
Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for your arthroplasty procedure. This may include restrictions on eating or drinking before the surgery, as well as instructions on any medications you should avoid taking.
How long do the results of arthroplasty last?
The results of arthroplasty can last for many years, and in some cases, for the rest of your life. However, the longevity of the joint replacement depends on a number of factors, including your age, activity level, and overall health.
What type of anesthesia is used for arthroplasty?
Most arthroplasty procedures are performed under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the surgery. In some cases, local anesthesia or regional anesthesia may be used to numb the area around the joint.
How long does an arthroplasty procedure take?
The length of an arthroplasty procedure varies depending on the type and complexity of the surgery. In general, most procedures take between 1-3 hours to complete.
What are the risks associated with arthroplasty?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with arthroplasty, including infection, blood clots, and nerve damage. Our team takes all necessary precautions to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What is the recovery process like after arthroplasty?
Recovery times vary depending on the type of arthroplasty procedure you undergo. Generally, patients will need to participate in physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises to regain mobility and strength in the joint. Our team will work closely with you to develop a customized recovery plan that meets your needs and goals.
How do I know if I need arthroplasty?
You may need arthroplasty if you have severe joint pain or stiffness that limits your ability to perform daily activities. Your doctor may recommend arthroplasty if other treatments such as medication or physical therapy have not been effective in relieving your symptoms.
