Mechanical complication of internal joint prosthesis - what does this mean
Mechanical complications of internal joint prosthesis occur when the prosthesis does not fit properly in the joint, leading to instability, pain, and further damage to the joint and surrounding tissues. the most common causes of mechanical complications are incorrect implant size, incorrect positioning, and poor surgical technique.
What happens during the disease - mechanical complication of internal joint prosthesis
Mechanical complication of internal joint prosthesis is a condition in which the prosthetic joint becomes loose, unstable, or otherwise mechanically compromised due to wear and tear, infection, or other causes. this can lead to pain, instability, and other symptoms, as well as an increased risk of dislocation and further complications. the underlying cause must be identified and treated to prevent further damage and improve symptoms.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat the Mechanical Complication of Internal Joint Prosthesis
- Identify the cause of the mechanical complication
- Determine the severity of the mechanical complication
- Perform necessary imaging tests to diagnose the mechanical complication
- Administer appropriate medications to reduce pain and inflammation
- Perform physical therapy to improve joint mobility
- Perform arthroscopic surgery to repair the damaged joint structure
- Replace the prosthesis if necessary
- Monitor the patient's progress and adjust treatment accordingly
24 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Mechanical complication of internal joint prosthesis - Prevention
The best way to prevent mechanical complications of internal joint prosthesis is to ensure proper implantation and post-operative care. this includes proper positioning of the prosthesis, using the correct surgical technique and ensuring adequate post-operative rehabilitation. regular follow-up visits with the patient's physician and physical therapist can also help to detect any early signs of mechanical complications.
