Joint Preservation Surgery
Joint Preservation Surgery is a specialized type of orthopaedic treatment designed to repair, restore, and protect the function of a joint before the damage becomes irreversible. Unlike traditional joint replacement surgeries, which involve replacing a damaged joint, Joint Preservation Surgery focuses on maintaining and preserving the natural joint, enabling patients to avoid the need for more invasive procedures like joint replacement. At Vijaya Orthopaedics & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art joint preservation techniques to help patients extend the life of their joints, reduce pain, and maintain optimal function.
What is Joint Preservation Surgery?
Joint Preservation Surgery is a category of minimally invasive procedures aimed at treating early or moderate joint damage caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, cartilage defects, or sports injuries. The goal is to preserve the natural structure of the joint and prevent or delay the need for joint replacement. These surgeries focus on repairing or restoring the damaged cartilage, bone, and other structures within the joint.
The procedures used in Joint Preservation Surgery vary depending on the type of joint involved (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.) and the specific condition being treated. By addressing the root causes of joint degeneration early on, Joint Preservation Surgery helps maintain long-term joint function and mobility.
Who Can Benefit from Joint Preservation Surgery?
Joint Preservation Surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Are experiencing early to moderate joint damage or osteoarthritis but have not yet reached the point where joint replacement is necessary.
- Are active individuals (athletes or physically active) who wish to maintain their joint health and mobility.
- Have cartilage damage, ligament tears, or early signs of degenerative changes.
- Want to avoid or delay the need for a more invasive joint replacement surgery.
