Replacement arthroplasty, or joint replacement surgery, is a procedure in which a dysfunctional joint is replaced with a prosthesis. Joints can wear down over time due to age or a medical condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, or they can become unstable as a result of inadequate soft tissue support. If your joints are painful and they are prohibiting you from completing daily activities, then one of these procedures may be right for you.
