Joint Preservation Surgery

Joint Preservation Surgery is a specialized approach aimed at delaying or preventing the need for joint replacement by preserving the patient’s natural joint structure. It is commonly performed in individuals with early-stage arthritis, cartilage damage, or joint deformities who want to maintain their mobility and avoid total joint replacement. These procedures focus on repairing, realigning, or regenerating joint tissues to restore function and reduce pain. Joint preservation techniques are often recommended for younger, active patients who need long-term joint health.

Types of Joint Preservation Surgeries

  • Osteotomy – Realignment surgery to correct joint deformities and redistribute weight.

  • Arthroscopy – Minimally invasive procedure to remove damaged tissue or repair cartilage.

  • Meniscus Repair or Transplantation – Preserves knee cushioning and function.

  • Ligament Reconstruction (e.g., ACL Reconstruction) – Stabilizes the joint by repairing torn ligaments.

  • Biologic Injections – PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Stem Cell Therapy to enhance healing.

Post-Surgical Recovery & Rehabilitation

  • Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and restore movement.

  • Gradual return to activity over 3-6 months, depending on the procedure.

  • Weight management to reduce joint stress.

  • Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and joint function.
