Why do the joints still look like they are in good condition on X-rays, and the doctor says they need to be replaced?
The need for endoprosthesis is not determined solely by the data of additional examination methods, such as radiography and tomography of the joints. The main thing is the patient's quality of life, clinical data and the presence of concomitant pathology, in particular cardiovascular, pulmonary and diabetes. Chronic increasing pain syndrome in case of ineffectiveness of organ-preserving measures is the main factor for making a decision about joint replacement. Constant pain not only spoils the quality of life, turning every day into a competition with an assortment of painkillers that lose their effectiveness over time, but is also a sign of a chronic inflammatory process that affects not only the joint locally, but also the body as a whole. The presence of constant active inflammation is not the best thing that can happen to your body, so the specialists of the Rudenko Medical Center will discuss with you possible treatment tactics and, taking into account your wishes, will choose the best option to obtain maximum effectiveness.
Is it not necessary to replace the prosthesis with a new one over time?
Modern metal structures for replacing joints are made of absolutely biocompatible metal alloys, their wear resistance with optimal use will reach an average of 20-30 years. But the term may differ depending on the motor activity, the presence of concomitant pathology and the individual compliance of the body with the endoprosthesis.
What tests should be done before a doctor's consultation?
It is not necessary to undergo any tests, instrumental examinations or diagnostic imaging methods before visiting a specialist at the Rudenko Medical Center. During the consultation, our specialist will determine the correct volume of necessary research and determine the need for consultations of related specialists. Later, in our center you will be able to get all services without exhausting searches and queues. This will save your time from unnecessary additional manipulations, as well as prevent unnecessary worries.
How long should you stay in the hospital after endoprosthesis?
Probably, this is the main worrying question for our patients. The fear of falling out of ordinary life for a long time is often the reason for refusing such necessary treatment. This, in turn, leads to a daily deterioration of the patient's quality of life due to chronic increasing pain syndrome.
After joint replacement surgery, it is really necessary to remain under the supervision of medical personnel.
- The stay in our medical center usually lasts 7 days after the operation and includes round-the-clock staff supervision, medical support and dynamic monitoring of the healing of the postoperative suture.
- From early activation in bed to learning how to move properly with a new joint, patients make the most of this time in the clinic.
- After a surgical manipulation, it is very important for patients to be able to lie down, sit down and walk correctly. This is exactly what the rehabilitation doctor of our medical center will teach you in the early postoperative period, who will draw up a personal rehabilitation schedule taking into account all needs and limitations.
What is the price of joint replacement surgery?
The cost of endoprosthesis is generally dictated by:
- at the price of the metal structure itself, necessary medicines,
- includes the work of a team of specialists of our center,
- the period of hospitalization in comfortable ergonomic wards and full balanced nutrition,
