Myths and reality
Taking care of your health is everyone's responsibility, especially when it comes to joints. Tens of thousands of people every day do not dare to undergo endoprosthesis, although they need it.
In this material, we will try to debunk myths and provide all the necessary information so that pretended obstacles do not stop you on your way to a life without limitations.
Why do patients not dare to replace joint components with artificial endoprostheses?
The topic of endoprosthetics is crowned with many myths that distort its perception and lead patients to refuse necessary intervention. These are the understandable feelings and prejudices of every patient who has ever thought about joint replacement surgery. Let's consider the most common of them:
Myth 1 "It's scary, painful, prohibitively expensive and highly traumatic"
Endoprosthesis, like any surgical intervention, takes place with the help of anesthesia.
The cost of endoprosthesis is dictated by the type and composition of the endoprosthesis to be installed. At the Rudenko clinic, we provide endoprosthetic surgery services under the "all-inclusive" system.
Increased trauma threatens patients with destroyed joints who refuse to replace them, because joint pathologies lead to their destruction, the formation of false joints, fractures, etc.
Myth 2 "After the operation, it will no longer be possible to move normally as before, and you can forget about sports or physical activity altogether"
Endoprosthesis, compared to joints destroyed by disease, enables people to enjoy life without pain. After the rehabilitation period, you will still be able to ride a bicycle, enjoy walks in the winter park, even participate in running competitions.
Myth 3 "And you still need to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks and put your whole life on pause"
You should not be afraid to disappear for a few months from daily worries, because our medical center is focused on the maximum result for the patient in the shortest possible time (stay in the hospital for up to 7 days).
As you can see, these statements have nothing to do with reality. There is no reason to continue to be afraid, instead of moving freely without pain and restrictions after a month.
What awaits patients after joint replacement?
Joint diseases cause unpleasant adjustments to our everyday life. Endoprosthesis of joints is a high-tech operation that allows the replacement of the components of the joint damaged by various factors with artificial components. Such an intervention gives the opportunity to tens of thousands of people around the world every day to be rid of chronic joint pain and radically change their lives. Like any intervention in the body, endoprosthesis has a list of indications and contraindications and features of postoperative behavior.
- The first few days after the operation, it will be necessary to limit physical activity as much as possible. This is necessary both for the prevention of early postoperative complications and for the stabilization of endoprosthesis components.
- After the wounds have healed, you will be able to start low-energy training, developed by a specialist rehabilitator individually just for you.
- Later, when the postoperative wound heals and the endoprosthesis is reliably covered by a peri-articular framework of soft tissues, it will be possible to begin an active rehabilitation process involving the prosthetic joint.
Thanks to continuous work on your own and with a rehabilitation professional and a responsible attitude to the quality of your future life at all stages of recovery, a brilliant result is guaranteed.
