Prevalence and Impact
Arthritis is the number one cause of joint pain and disability.
Arthritis patients come in all ages, shapes and sizes. Younger people have a lower risk, but almost 30% of people under 65 are affected by arthritis.1
Healthy Joints vs. Arthritis
In a healthy joint, a smooth substance called cartilage covers the parts of your bones that rub together when you move. Cartilage cushions your bones and allows them to move easily.
Healthy cartilage lets you move your joints without pain when you walk, brush your hair or go up stairs. But arthritis can damage this protective cartilage, which makes these movements painful.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions that causes wear and tear to your joint cartilage. It develops after years of constant motion and pressure on the joints.
Other Reasons for Joint Replacement Surgery
Most people have joint replacement surgery because of osteoarthritis. Other reasons that people may have a joint replaced include rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, hip dysplasia or broken bones.
Joint pain can affect everyday activities like walking, running, climbing stairs and even sleeping.
Arthritis symptoms include:
- Joint pain
- Aching
- Stiffness
- Swelling
Your orthopedic surgeon might talk to you about having joint replacement surgery to help get you back to a normal, active life. The reasons to have surgery may be different for everyone. But the goal is the same – to get you exactly what you need to get moving again!
Your doctor may recommend different ways to manage and reduce your arthritis symptoms.
Traditional joint replacement surgery
Total joint replacement is a surgery to remove the damaged parts of your joint and replace them with metal and plastic implants. Surgeons use X-rays, surgical tools and special techniques to plan traditional joint replacement surgeries.
Advita AI joint replacement surgery
Accurate placement of each implant is very important for your joint replacement surgery. Advita AI technologies help your surgeon understand your specific body, plan your surgery and position the implants.
