Joint replacement surgery is a procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis) to restore movement and relieve pain.
It is most commonly performed for:

Over time, joints can become damaged due to:
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Severe injury
Degenerative joint disease
Failed previous surgery
