week progresses.”

Joint Ventures -

“We do about one hundred knee
’ replacementsand close to two hundred ‘
hip replacements a year” says Dr.
Gregory Clarke, Head of Orthopaedics
at Lions Gate Hospital. “Joint
replacement surgery continues to
evolve. Surgeons can now replace hand
and toe joints, wrists, ankles, elbows,
and do total shoulder replacements.”
Clarke says any of these procedures can
havea hugei impactona patient "squality

of life.
Joint Decisions

Most of those undergoing joint
replacement surgery are suffering from
primary osteoarthritis, a condition that
involves breakdown in the normal
cartilage surface of the joint. Some are
suffering from secondary osteoarthritis
found in limbs that had some previous
trauma such as a fracture, an infection or a congenital condition. Candidates for joint replacement surgery § should consult with their
doctors to decide the best course of treatment. Many physicians encourage patients to wait as long as possible before Having joints _
replaced, since artificial joints such as hips and knees have a life expectancy of approximately ten to fifteen years. But Clarke says they
can last longer, depending on their use and abuse. “Activities like jogging or skiing will wear a hip implant out more quickly.”

Joint Efforts

The average hospital stay.for a patient undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery is seven days, with the rehabilitation process: ’
beginning almost immediately. The physiotherapy team gets patients up and mobile within a day after surgery. Physiotherapy
continues onan outpatient basis for eight to twelve weeks, and patients are encouraged to continue muscle strengthening ¢ exercises at
home. - : . i . :
