Management of Joint Arthroplasty: From Simple to Complex

Overview

Joint arthroplasty is an effective procedure for managing pain and restoring function in joints affected by end-stage osteoarthritis. As the prevalence of osteoarthritis continues to rise, the demand for total joint arthroplasty is also expected to grow, making arthroplasty one of the most common surgical procedures. Rehabilitation is critical to optimize postoperative outcomes and enhance function across the continuum of care from preoperative management to return to sport. It is essential for rehabilitation specialists to distinguish between routine and atypical healing, recognize signs of postoperative complications, and effectively manage these complications using an interdisciplinary approach to ensure successful outcomes after joint arthroplasty.
