Presentation
The aim of the present study was to examine cementless humeral surface replacement arthroplasty as a treatment option for posttraumatic and nontraumatic osteonecrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
When the deteriorated joint moves, bone rubs upon bone causing pain, swelling, limiting motion, and frequently causing a grinding or popping sensation. [medicinenet.com]
Signs of infection include a fever, redness, swelling, bleeding, draining, or an increase in pain around the area of the operation. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Less Pain Trauma caused by tissue damage causes pain and swelling as part of the healing process. Since anterior hip replacement requires a much smaller incision and dissection of normal tissue, the end result is less pain during recovery. [jointreplacementflorida.com]
Long-Term Expectations It may take a full year to reach maximal medical improvement in regards to swelling and return to recreational activities. [medicine.umich.edu]
The knee may swell or "give-way" because the joint is not stable. Other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis that results from a knee injury, may also lead to degeneration of the knee joint. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
- Severe Pain
Indications included severe pain, disability, humeral head destruction, and inadequate bone stock. Nine patients were available for a mean of 69 months' follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Concerns about Persistent Opioid Use after Joint Replacement Total knee and hip replacements are highly effective operations for patients with severe pain in these joints, and opioids are the main drugs used for acute pain management after such surgeries [wolterskluwer.com]
Relief from moderate or severe pain was achieved in 83% of shoulders at an average follow-up of 12.2 years. Active abduction (the ability to raise the arm to the side) improved by an average of 40 degrees to an average of 117 degrees. [boiseshoulderclinic.net]
The joint destruction also leads to severe pain when pinching the fingers together and gripping forcefully. Joint motion limitation can also decrease the ability to grip. [medicinenet.com]
Arthroplasty is performed on people suffering from severe pain and disabling joint stiffness that result from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Vomiting
The pre-operative medication regimen included a long-acting analgesia and medication to reduce inflammation, anxiety, and nausea and vomiting. Intra-operative analgesia included a short acting spinal anesthesia. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Knee Pain
Also called: Knee arthroplasty Summary Knee replacement is surgery for people with severe knee damage. Knee replacement can relieve pain and allow you to be more active. [medlineplus.gov]
When you can walk freely without pain, your physical therapist may begin to add activities that you were doing before your knee pain started to limit you. [moveforwardpt.com]

When It’s Recommended While the majority of patients who undergo a total knee replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) are between 50 to 80 years old, candidates are selected based upon their pain and disability rather than their age. [iowaortho.com]
The results also suggest that some patients continue to use these potentially addictive pain medications despite improvement in their hip or knee pain. [wolterskluwer.com]
- Leg Length Inequality
Leg length inequality It is very difficult to make the leg exactly the same length as the other one. Occasionallythe leg is deliberately lengthened to make the hip stable duringsurgery. [stefankreuzermd.com]
Leg length inequality This is also due to the fact that a corrected knee is more straight and is unavoidable. [sportsmedicinemiami.com]

(CDH) Hip dysplasia (human) acetabular dysplasia (shallow hip socket) frozen shoulder, loose shoulder traumatized and malaligned joint joint stiffness Complications [ edit ] Blot Clots or Deep Vein Thrombosis Infection Bleeding Periprosthetic fracture [en.wikipedia.org]
Arthroplasty is performed on people suffering from severe pain and disabling joint stiffness that result from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Neurologic
- Unable to Walk
Clinical Presentation Preoperative: Neck of femur fractures : Often unable to walk, complains of vague pain in the knee, thigh, groin, back or buttock and difficulty of weight bearing [13]. Impacted femur neck on X-ray. [physio-pedia.com]
Treatment
First popularized for the treatment of late-stage rheumatoid arthritis and other debilitating forms of joint disease, the current indications have expanded to include primary treatment of elbow trauma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis Editor's note Dr Sarah Jarvis, February 2019. A new systematic review and meta-analysis in the Lancet, involving 13,212 patients, reveals that prognosis for hip replacement has improved. [patient.info]
Etiology
The etiology is generally of a traumatic nature and symptoms include painful, limited range of motion of the joint. If untreated, destructive joint changes may lead to a painful degenerative arthritis requiring surgical intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology/Etiology Total hip replacement is a frequently done procedure. [8] [9] [10] [11] Although mostly done electively, it is also used to in the management of hip fractures (mostly displaced neck of femur fractures) caused by trauma (e.g. fall [physio-pedia.com]

Epidemiology The number of hip arthroplasties is increasing with 76,500 in 2012 in the UK, a 7% increase compared to 2011 [ 4, 5 ]. The percentage of total hip arthroplasties being performed on patients younger than 60 is increasing steadily [ 6 ]. [patient.info]

Pathophysiology
This is mainly due to technical advances and better understanding of knee pathophysiology and functions. Knee arthroplasty involves removal of the damaged, worn or diseased knee joint with an artificial joint or a prosthetic implant. [news-medical.net]
Prevention
Statins, a class of drugs used to lower cholesterol levels, have been reported to help prevent the development of DVT. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
