Surgical procedures to rebuild or replace joints, also called arthroplasty, replace a patient’s natural worn and weak joint with an artificial one usually made of plastic, metal and/or ceramic.The time to consider treatment is when your quality of life is impacted due to severe pain and stiffness and a reduction in the activities you previously enjoyed.
