The ends of bones are covered with smooth, white, cartilage. This allows free and smooth movement of the joint. When a joint gets diseased, this smooth cartilage is lost. This leads to raw ends of the bones being rubbed against each other.
Rubbing of raw bone ends causes severe pain and restriction of movements. Initially, medicines and exercises help. But, joint damage will progress over time. Pain which occurs at night and disturbs sleep is an indication of serious joint damage which would need surgery. To date, there is no method of regeneration of cartilage. So, the cartilage is replaced with a new, smooth plastic and metal surface (joint replacement surgery).
For the initial two to three weeks, medicines should be taken as prescribed and the exercise program followed religiously. Most patients do not need a visiting physiotherapist but exercising at home must be continued. Walker should be used for the first one to two weeks followed by a stick for another one to two weeks. The patient should not sit cross-legged or squat or run speedily for the first three weeks.
Until full movements are regained and unless recommended otherwise, they should use the western-style toilet. Aged patients do get salt depleted (hyponatremia) after surgery, so high salt intake is recommended under a physician’s guidance. Good diet is the key to early return to good health.
