Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty is the surgical restoration of a diseased joint. To prevent fusion of the articular surfaces of the bones after surgery, a large gap is left between them (gap arthroplasty) or a plate of artificial material is inserted (interposition arthroplasty); In addition, one or both bone ends can be replaced with a metal or plastic prosthesis (replacement arthroplasty).

Arthroplasty is a surgical method of restoring a damaged joint, which is used to treat many joint diseases, such as arthrosis, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and others. The goal of arthroplasty is to preserve the health of the joint and improve its functionality.

There are several types of arthroplasty operations, depending on the cause of the disease and the degree of damage to the joint:

- Gap arthroplasty: In this case, a large gap is left between the articular surfaces of the bone. This helps prevent adhesions in the joint. It is usually used to correct congenital or acquired pathologies, but in some cases it can be performed to improve joint function in chronic arthritis.

- Interpositional arthroplasty: This is a more complex operation that involves using a special plate of artificial material inserted between the surfaces of the bones. It allows you to maintain more movement of the joint and increase its stability. This method is used when there is significant loss of function caused by arthritis or other diseases. - Replacement arthroproiasm: Replacement of articular elements with an endoprosthesis or a prosthesis based on artificial material. This may be useful in severe lesions where joint mobility is virtually lost. Replacement arthroplasty is used in difficult cases, such as osteoarthritis.

Each operation has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the doctor must carefully assess the patient's condition and choose the appropriate treatment method.

**Arthroplasty** is a surgical operation that is used to restore diseased joints. Depending on the degree of damage, arthroplasty operations can vary in complexity and technical implementation. In this article we will look at different types of arthroplasty surgeries and their features.

- If abrasion of the bone surfaces against each other occurs in the joint, then an operation is performed *trepanation of the acetabulum*. Prostheses are made individually and are divided into options for end and sliding interventions. The first include endoprostheses in the form of balls (monoblocks
