Knee Replacement Surgery also known as Arthroplasty is a bone surgery that helps to ease the pain caused by severe arthritis and helps you to move more freely.

Good candidate for Knee Replacement Surgery

The main reason why people go for Knee Replacement Surgery is Osteoarthritis (the condition occurs when the cushion between the knee and bone joints break down). Knee Replacement Surgery benefits the following conditions also:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rheumatoid Arthritis is a condition when the body's immune system attacks and destroys the lining of the knee.
• Deformities: People with deformities like bowed legs or "known-knees" often get surgery to restore the position of the knee.
• Knee Injuries: Broken bone or ligaments around the knee result in arthritis that causes pain and limits movement of the knee.
• Loss of blood Flow: Doctors will recommend surgery for condition called either osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis (the condition causes when blood stops flowing to the bones).

Different types of Knee Replacement Surgery

The following are the four main types of knee replacement surgery:

• Total Replacement Surgery: In this replacement surgery the surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee.
• Partial Replacement Surgery: This surgery is done when arthritis affects only one side of the knee. For Partial replacement surgery the patient should have strong knee ligaments. It can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed in Total Replacement Surgery.
• Knee Replacement Cap: This replacement surgery is done only on the surface of the kneecap.
• Complex( or Revision) Knee Replacement: This procedure is needed if you have very severe arthritis or you have already done knee replacement surgeries.

Treatment For Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, occurs when tissues around the joint, scar and stiffen, restricting movement or making it painful and stiff. This condition occurs due to overuse, injury or because of diseases like diabetes or stroke. Frozen shoulder treatment includes both surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Frozen shoulders can develop after surgeries as well, due to limited movement of shoulder. Found commonly in middle aged people, it is more prominently seen in women than in men. Women are susceptible to this disorder around the menopausal period.

Symptoms
The symptoms of frozen shoulder occur in three steps: -
Freezing stage – the range of shoulder motion becomes limited and increased movement causes pain.
Frozen stage – though pain decreases, the stiffness of shoulder increases.
Thawing stage – the pain and stiffness starts easing.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis for frozen treatment can be done through a physical examination and X-ray. During physical examination, the doctor can detect limitations in the range of motion of shoulder. X-ray can help in confirming that the issues are due to frozen shoulder and not arthritis or any such disorders.
Frozen Shoulder Treatment

• Medication: The medications for frozen shoulder includes corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and stiffness in the shoulder joints. It helps with improving mobility of the shoulders at the initial stages of the disease.
• Joint distension: This method of frozen shoulder treatment involves injecting the shoulder joint capsule with sterile water. This helps in loosening of tissues and thereby, ease movement.
• Shoulder manipulation: Performed under general anaesthesia to reduce pain due to movement, this treatment involves moving the stiff joints continuously to ease stiffness and tightened tissue.
• Surgery: This is an extreme measure performed in cases when other treatments do not work. Surgery is performed to remove the adhesions or scar tissues from shoulder joint. This surgery is usually performed as arthroscopy.
