Ways to treat Osteoarthritis

#Ways to treat #Osteoarthritis:

 

#Arthrodesis: This joins (fuses) two bones in a damaged joint so that the joint won’t bend. #Doctors may use it to treat #arthritis of the spine, ankles, hands, and feet. In rare cases, it’s used to treat the knees and hips.

 

#Arthroscopy: This may be used to smooth a rough joint surface or remove loose cartilage or bone fragments. In some people, it may help relieve pain for a short time and allow the joint to move better.

 

#HipResurfacingSurgery: This is most often done in younger, more active people who have pain and disability caused by a badly damaged hip.

 

#JointReplacement: This is done when other treatments haven’t worked and damage to the joint can be seen on X-rays. It involves surgery to replace the ends of bones in a damaged joint. The surgery creates new joint surfaces. The joints that are replaced most often are the hip, knee, and shoulder. But other joints such as the elbow and the ankle can also be replaced.
