Joint replacement and fusion surgeries are procedures aimed at addressing severe joint damage or conditions causing chronic pain and limited mobility. The procedure offers a safe and effective solution to enhance joint function and alleviate any associated discomfort.<\/p>\n

Joint replacement involves removing damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with prosthetic components made from metal, plastic, or ceramic. This surgery is similar to those performed for hips, knees, or shoulders. Conversely, fusion surgery aims to fuse adjacent bones in the joint, eliminating motion and reducing pain. It’s often employed for small joints like the wrist or ankle.<\/p>\n

The surgical process begins with thorough preoperative assessments, including imaging and medical evaluations, to determine the best surgical approach. Surgery is usually performed under local, regional or general anaesthesia. During joint replacement, Mr Waseem Bhat<\/a> meticulously removes damaged components, prepares the bone, and secures the artificial joint. Fusion surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and stabilising the joint using screws, plates or rods to promote fusion.<\/p>\n

Post-surgery, patients undergo rehabilitation involving physical therapy and exercises tailored to the specific joint. Pain management, wound care, and activity modifications are crucial during the recovery period. Patients gradually resume activities, following Mr Bhat\u2019s guidance to avoid stressing the joint.<\/p>\n

Regular follow-ups monitor healing and assess progress. Adhering to postoperative instructions, including rehabilitation and lifestyle adjustments, is vital for optimal recovery. Joint replacement or fusion surgeries aim to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life for individuals with severe joint conditions, requiring thorough aftercare to ensure successful outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3251,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3051","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJoint Replacements Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Joint replacement and fusion surgeries are procedures aimed at addressing joint damage or conditions causing chronic pain.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Joint Replacements Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Joint replacement and fusion surgeries are procedures aimed at addressing joint damage or conditions causing chronic pain.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Mr Waseem Bhat\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-04-15T14:04:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Joint-Replacements-Fusion.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"910\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"650\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion\",\"name\":\"Joint Replacements Leeds | Mr Waseem Bhat Plastic Surgeon\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Joint-Replacements-Fusion.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-22T10:43:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-04-15T14:04:04+00:00\",\"description\":\"Joint replacement and fusion surgeries are procedures aimed at addressing joint damage or conditions causing chronic pain.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/treatments\/joint-replacements-fusion#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Joint-Replacements-Fusion.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/wbplasticsurgery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/02\/Waseem-Bhat-Joint-Replacements-Fusion.jpg\",\"width\":910,\"height\":650,\"caption\":\"Mr Waseem Bhat -
