Joint replacement surgery

Joint Replacement Surgery

Joints are formed by the ends of two or more bones connected by tissue called cartilage. Healthy cartilage serves as a protective cushion, allowing smooth and low-friction movement of the joint. If the cartilage becomes damaged by disease or injury, the tissues around the joint become inflamed, causing pain. With time, the cartilage wears away, allowing the rough edges of bone to rub against each other, causing more pain.

When only a part of the joint is damaged, the surgeon would be able to repair or replace just the damaged part. When the entire joint is damaged, a total joint replacement is done. To replace a total hip or knee joint, a surgeon removes the diseased or damaged parts and inserts artificial parts, called prostheses or implants.

I would just like to say that my care, before and after my operation Decompression of the right shoulder has been nothing but excellent. Mr. Sahni and his team come highly recommended.
Mr. Smith John

Had my surgery on the 13th June 2015 - I was treated with utmost care - loved Mr Sahni he was a perfect gentle man throughout my care. Physio were there for me throughout and very helpful when i was recovering from the operation. My appointments were always on time. Mr Sahni was always very pleasant and smiling when we met.

Before my operation on my shoulder i found it hard to lift my arm sideways, forward or up my back. I had trouble changing gear in my car so changing to automatic. I could not carry anything in my left hand. push my self up off a chair on floor, even flushing the toilet was uncomfortable. After the operation my movement was 100% better as the days went on. I had no pain from the operation but my muscle was painful as I started to use it again. I would like to thank Mr Sahni and all the staff for their excellent care.

I had my operation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome several weeks ago after a few years of extreme discomfort in my right hand causing a lot of sleepless nights.Since having my operation within a couple of weeks I was able to use my hand and all the previous symptoms have gone. I would like to thank Mr. Sahni for an excellent job done and would advise any with person this complaint to have the operation done.

Delighted with treatment by Mr Sahni and all the staff at Renacres Hospital. Very successful outcome with very little bruising (I normally bruise very easily ) and tiny wounds which are already invisible , all of which indicates the care and attention given by Mr Sahni.
