What is Joint Replacement?

Arthroplasty, commonly known as joint replacement surgery, is a procedure where a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant. This life-changing surgery can relieve pain, restore function, and significantly improve quality of life for patients with severe joint damage.

At Align Plus Ortho, we specialize in advanced joint replacement techniques using state-of-the-art implants and minimally invasive approaches that lead to faster recovery and better outcomes.

Restored Mobility

Regain ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily activities without pain.

Pain Relief

Significant reduction or complete elimination of chronic joint pain.

Improved Quality of Life

Return to hobbies, sports, and activities you enjoy with renewed confidence.

Long-Lasting Results

Modern implants are designed to last 20-30 years or more with proper care.

Types of Joint Replacement

Expert care for all major joint replacements

Knee Replacement Surgery

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total knee replacement involves replacing all three compartments of the knee joint with artificial components cobalt-chromium or titanium alloys for the femoral component and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for the tibial spacer.

  • Joint deformity or swelling
  • Failed conservative treatments
  • Advanced arthritis on X-rays

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Comprehensive assessment before joint replacement

  • Detailed medical history review
  • Complete physical examination
  • X-rays and advanced imaging (MRI/CT)
  • Preoperative blood tests and health screening
  • Cardiac and pulmonary evaluation if needed
  • Weight optimization counseling
  • Prehabilitation (pre-surgery therapy)
  • Discharge planning and home preparation
