Joint replacement surgery is an advanced orthopedic procedure that replaces damaged or worn-out joint surfaces with artificial implants to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life. It is most commonly performed for severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint injuries, and degenerative joint diseases affecting the knee, hip, and shoulder joints. Modern techniques such as robotic joint replacement surgery, computer-assisted surgery, and minimally invasive procedures have significantly improved surgical precision, recovery, and long-term outcomes.
