Welcome to the Hip and Knee Replacement page at Dr. Nikhil S. Charde’s orthopaedic practice. Dr. Charde, a leading orthopaedic surgeon in Nagpur, specializes in hip and knee replacement surgeries, offering advanced treatment options to restore mobility and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe joint pain and dysfunction.
Understanding Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
Hip and knee replacement surgeries involve removing the damaged or diseased parts of the joint and replacing them with artificial components, known as prostheses. These procedures are typically recommended for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage that does not respond to conservative treatments.
Conditions Treated with Hip and Knee Replacement
Dr. Nikhil S. Charde treats various conditions that may require hip or knee replacement surgery, including:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown and joint pain.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder causing chronic inflammation and joint damage.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis resulting from joint injury or trauma.
- Avascular Necrosis: The death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, leading to joint destruction.
- Hip Dysplasia: A congenital condition where the hip joint does not develop properly.
- Meniscal Tears and Ligament Injuries: Severe injuries to the knee’s soft tissues that lead to joint instability and pain.
Types of Hip and Knee Replacement Surgeries
1. Hip Replacement:
- Total Hip Replacement: Replacing both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the femoral head (thigh bone) with prosthetic components. This surgery alleviates pain and improves hip function.
- Partial Hip Replacement: Replacing only the femoral head, often recommended for fractures or limited arthritis. This is less invasive and has a quicker recovery time.
2. Knee Replacement:
- Total Knee Replacement: Replacing the entire knee joint, including the femur, tibia, and patella, with prosthetic components. This procedure is effective for severe arthritis and extensive joint damage.
- Partial Knee Replacement: Replacing only the damaged part of the knee, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This surgery is ideal for patients with arthritis confined to one part of the knee.
