Arthroplasty

All of the joints in the body give the person different mobility. Depending on various diseases and traumas, the joints may become unable to perform this function from time to time. Arthroplasty can be defined as the restructuring of the joint in order to reduce the pain and pain sensation in the joint, to increase the mobility and stabilize it. Arthroplasty is generally used in large-surface joints that carry body weight heavily, such as knee and hip joints. However, with the development of medicine and technology, it can also be applied to joints such as wrists and ankles, elbows and shoulders. With arthroplasty, joints can be repaired or replaced with prostheses. Thus, the deformed joint, which causes pain and limitation of movement of the person, regains its former mobility and increases the quality of life of the person.
