Joint pain can be discomfort, pain or inflammation arising from any part of a joint — including cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons or muscles. Most commonly, however, joint pain refers to arthritis or arthralgia, which is inflammation or pain from within the joint itself.
Orthopedic fractures are a common daily acute health issue. Improper initial management of fractures can lead to significant long-term morbidity and, potentially, mortality. With the burden of musculoskeletal disease at the forefront of health care worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared 2000-2010 the Bone and Joint Decade (BJD).
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.
