What are the dangers of joint replacement surgery?

In fact, when early knee osteoarthritis is detected, good improvement results can be achieved through conservative treatment, such as exercise, physiotherapy, control of exercise intensity, and so on.

However, by the time of end-stage osteoarthritis, because of the severe wear and tear of the articular cartilage, conservative** can no longer effectively control the disease. At this time, joint replacement can help patients solve their pain and effectively improve their quality of life, such as solving knee pain and restoring their ability to live a normal life.

The disadvantage of surgery** is that when the patient has a comorbid medical disease, such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, etc., the operation may increase the burden on these diseased organs. Some patients may have myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction during and after surgery; After surgery, there is a high possibility of limb venous thrombosis, and some patients will also develop fatal pulmonary embolism; There is also postoperative infection, although the overall incidence rate is only about 5 per 1,000, but once it occurs, the consequences are very serious, and some patients even need to remove the prosthesis to completely control the infection. Therefore, we must pay attention to the above issues.

Of course, doctors have corresponding prevention and best methods for these complications before and after surgery.

Infection can occur with any surgery or procedure. Infection has been reported in approximately 2 percent of patients in the United States within two years of surgery [1]. The occurrence of infection after knee replacement is usually hematogenic.

It is often associated with dental disease or surgery, urinary tract, ** or nail infection, where bacteria circulate through the bloodstream and colonize and multiply in artificial joints, making the infection difficult to control.

Although the incidence of infection is low, when it does occur, it can be catastrophic for the patient. Therefore, after joint replacement (at least within the first 2 years), if you have a dental disease or need dental surgery, or if you have suppuration** infection in the respiratory tract and other areas, you should tell your doctor and take antibiotics prophylactically to avoid blood-borne joint infection.

Actively detect and ** small foci of infection in the body: Patients with tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, and tinea pedis should be given antibiotics under the doctor's adviceElimination of local foci of infectionThese foci of infection are in the form of chronic inflammation, which can be quiescent or an active "base" of infection

First, the risks of anesthesia. Second, there is a risk of infection after surgery. Third, periarticular swelling and thrombosis can occur, and patients can use antibiotics before surgery to prevent thrombosis.

Artificial joint replacement surgery is prone to infection, chronic pain, and may also have periprosthetic fractures and joint dislocations, which may be due to the body not completely healing or frequent squats or cross-legged, so after the surgery, follow the doctor's prescription for regular check-ups to get through the dangerous period.

In daily life, if our body has some adverse symptoms, we will choose to go to the hospital to let a professional doctor see us and make relevant **, but some people will need to do some surgery because of the condition, and some people regret it after the operation, so what should I do if I regret it after joint replacement surgery? Let's take a look at it with the questions.

The advantage of joint replacement surgery is to solve the problem of joint pain, and it is better to restore joint function, and through joint replacement surgery, it can be better to improve and eliminate the symptoms of dysfunction, but some people say that they regret it after joint replacement surgery, because this part of the patient will have joint stiffness and muscle atrophy after surgery. Joint stiffness and muscle atrophy are difficult to recover from, and if they do not recover, they may affect their daily activities.

Finally, it is recommended that people should follow the advice and guidance of professional doctors after surgery, including diet, as well as exercise after surgery, and actively cooperate with doctors, so that the body will not have some adverse reactions after surgery.

Knee replacement surgery has complications such as infection, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, patellar complications, and prosthesis loosening. After the surgery, the patient should get out of bed as soon as possible, and if the problem is found, the surgery should be performed in time.

It is very likely to cause fractures, gout. If you want to avoid it, you should have a general anesthetic before the surgery, and you must pay attention to rest after the surgery and do not get out of bed and walk around.

Lawyer's analysis: No, the owner pays a fixed property service fee to the property service company, and the surplus or loss is enjoyed or borne by the property service company. The implementation of the property service fee lump sum system, property service enterprises often adopt the way of reducing service expenditures, so as to secretly increase the profits of enterprises.

It is manifested in the specific charges, that is, to reduce the quality of service, reduce the number of service personnel, expand the scope of charging items, increase the charging standard or charge arbitrarily.

Legal basis]:

Article 944 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China The owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider in accordance with the agreement. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant provisions, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property management services. If the owner violates the agreement and fails to pay the property fee within the time limit, the property service provider may urge the owner to pay within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is still not made after the expiration of the reasonable period, the property management service provider may file a lawsuit or apply for arbitration.

Property service providers shall not use methods such as stopping power supply, supplying coarse water, heating heat, or gas to urge the payment of property fees.

Joint replacement is the end-stage method of joint disease, which means that most joint diseases are ultimately through joint replacement. At present, the most common and commonly performed is hip and knee replacement. It is also a relatively mature surgical method, of course, any surgery has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages: 1. It can quickly relieve joint pain, swelling and other symptoms. 2. Correct joint deformity and quickly improve the quality of life.

Disadvantages: 1. Experience the trauma of surgery and the process after surgery; 2. The surgical process and the risk of postoperative complications (infection, etc.) 3. The life span of the prosthesis.

Joint replacement usually includes total hip replacement, hemi-hip replacement, total knee replacement, unicompartmental replacement, artificial shoulder, elbow, ankle replacement, etc. Joint replacement is simply the removal of the surface cartilage and subchondral bone of the diseased joint and replacing it with an appropriately sized artificial prosthesis. It's not really about replacing all the joints.

The surgery is not as scary as everyone thinks. The average surgery time is about 60-90 minutes. Half hip replacement surgery takes less time.

You can go to the ground 1-3 days after the operation, and the pain relief is very obvious.

Joint replacement is now widely used in joint diseases, especially some joint lesions, or joints that cannot be replaced, it is possible that experts will recommend joint replacementLet's take a look at what the experts have to say. The benefits of surgery include that your joint pain will be reduced or gone after the procedure, allowing you to stand and walk again.

In addition, if the joints are replaced, the shape of the limbs will become more beautiful. The disadvantage of surgery** is that when you have internal medicine system problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc., the surgical blow may increase the burden on these diseased organs, and some patients may have myocardial choking after surgery, so it is necessary to be fully prepared for these medical diseases before surgery. After surgery, there is a high risk of venous thrombosis in the extremities, and in some cases, fatal pulmonary embolism can occur.

Although the infection rate is only 1% after surgery, the consequences are very serious when it occurs, and some patients even need to have the implant removed to completely control the infection. Through the above introduction, you have understood the advantages and disadvantages of joint replacement, so patients who have undergone joint replacement should pay attention and make preparations.

After the artificial joint replacement surgery, the patient needs to pay more attention to protection and care in the long life in the future, so as to ensure the service life of the artificial joint.

Artificial joint replacement.

Precautions after that.

1. Lose weight:

Most of the force on the hip and knee joints is due to the body's gravity, so reducing weight can reduce the pressure on the joints. After surgery, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet and keep the weight within the normal range to reduce the wear and tear on the joints.

2. Maintain normal limb alignment and gait

Normal limb alignment and gait allow the articular surfaces to maintain sufficient contact area and evenly apply force, so that the force is not too concentrated in certain areas and aggravates wear. Therefore, when standing, you must ensure that your legs are straight, and when you walk, you must take big strides and not walk with your legs curled.

3. Enhance muscle strength

Good muscle strength can not only make the patient move freely, enhance motor coordination and postural reflex sensitivity, but also reduce the force on the joint to a certain extent.

4. Avoid a large number of difficult activities: patients who have undergone joint replacement surgery should reduce their activity, especially elderly patients, usually after joint replacement 2 to 3 months, you can walk without crutches, you can engage in most daily activities, you can walk, ride, dance, swim. You can also practice qigong, play tai chi, avoid walking and standing for a long time, and avoid squatting movements.

In addition, climbing, climbing, stairs, and running are detrimental to artificial joints, so it is recommended not to do them or to do them less. You can carry something heavy, but something too heavy, especially when going up and down stairs or on ramps, is not suitable. 5. Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis

As mentioned earlier, loose bone is not conducive to the fixation of the prosthesis, and the support is also weak, and the loosening and sinking of the prosthesis will occur in the long term, so it is necessary to prevent osteoporosis from three aspects: diet, medicine and exercise.

Extend the life of the prosthesis. In short, after joint replacement surgery, you need to pay attention to all aspects of the problem in order to prolong the life of the joint as much as possible.

This section describes the precautions to be taken after prosthetic joint replacement.
