Endoprosthetics of joints

A loyalty program is available for surgical interventions in the hospital, which makes treatment even more affordable.

Arthroplasty is the replacement of a joint with a high-tech prosthesis that completely repeats the physiological shape and functionality of a healthy joint. The operation is performed for arthrosis, arthritis, severe injuries and other joint diseases accompanied by reduced mobility, pain and other symptoms.

The «Oxford Medical» clinic perform primary and revision endoprosthesis:

• hip joints;
• knee joints;
• shoulder joints.

In most cases, endoprosthesis allows you to fully restore joint mobility, forget about pain and other manifestations of the disease. We use only high-quality endoprostheses from leading manufacturers. Their service life reaches 15-20 years, and sometimes more.

Arthroplasty is used mainly for degenerative-dystrophic joint diseases or severe injuries. Most often, such an operation is required to replace the hip or knee joint.

Arthroplasty is the most radical method of treatment. Before the operation is prescribed, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination. As a rule, ultrasound, X-ray or CT scan of the joints are prescribed. These studies allow you to determine the diagnosis and assess the degree of joint damage, depending on which the doctor selects the optimal treatment methods. Arthroplasty is prescribed if drug or surgical therapy does not help, the person constantly suffers from pain and cannot perform simple movements.

Endoprosthetics is a rather complex operation that requires high-tech equipment of the clinic and special skills of the surgeon. At «Oxford Medical» such operations have been successfully performed for many years.

Endoprosthetics operations are performed in our surgical hospital, which is equipped with two modern operating rooms. They are equipped with new equipment from the best world brands. In addition, the clinic has an intensive care and resuscitation department, equipped with all the necessary equipment to monitor and support the vital functions of the body.

The installation of the endoprosthesis is performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. On average, the operation takes about 1-2 hours. The surgeon makes an incision in the joint area, removes damaged tissue and installs a prosthesis, then sutures the wound and applies a sterile bandage.

For endoprosthetics, we use the highest quality prostheses made of modern high-strength materials. Artificial joints are made of ceramics, metal alloys and dense polyethylene, which take root well and last for more than 15-20 years.

The size and shape of the artificial joint are selected individually based on computed tomography images. In rare cases, when standard prostheses are not suitable, they are made to order.

The duration of the rehabilitation period and its features depend on the type of surgery performed. In all cases, the patient requires hospitalization for 3-5, and sometimes 14 days. During this time, specialists monitor the healing of the wound and help the patient gradually develop the joint.

After endoprosthetics of the elbow joint or shoulder joint, the movement of the arm is usually limited for the first day. Then, under the supervision of a physiotherapist, the patient begins to perform light movements, and a few days after the pain subsides, the load is increased.

After endoprosthetics of the knee joint, the patient is allowed to get out of bed on the day of the surgery, using crutches or a walker. Prostheses with cement fixation are mainly used to replace the knee joint, so they can be given full load immediately. But it is not recommended due to damage during the operation of soft tissues, ligaments and muscles, which need time to heal.

Hip replacement also requires the use of crutches or a walker. When installing prostheses with cement fixation, there are no restrictions on the load on the joint, and with cementless it should not exceed 20-50% during the first few weeks.

Physical therapy, physical therapy and drug therapy may also be prescribed during the patient's rehabilitation period.

Contraindications to endoprosthetics may include chronic infectious diseases, pathologies of the cardiovascular system, lungs and other organs in the stage of decompensation. Temporary contraindications are acute diseases and exacerbations of chronic ones.

At «Oxford Medical» joint endoprosthetics are performed by experienced orthopedists-traumatologists and surgeons, using the latest equipment and high-quality prostheses purchased from official distributors. The operation allows you to completely forget about pain in the joint after the rehabilitation period and return to normal physical activity.
