Arthroplasty What Is The Difference When They Call The Surgery A Replacement?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Tacoma, WA

I have had 3 joint replacements due to my R A Disease,is this the same as Arthoplasty? My orthopedic surgeon use to work with bone cancer at the university.He came highly recommended! I have had pretty good results,but not a 100 percent. My left hip replacement was not the average replacement,and I had to have a blood transfusion.We talk after,because I am going to have my right hip done soon.Should I ask him about this procedure called Arthroplasty?

Hey thanks 🙏 I am just getting around to reading my posts. I really thank you. I cannot explain,even if I attempted to what happened to me since I asked about this. I truly thank you. I been in and out of the hospital and so many Dr’s. When I finally made it home I wanted,needed the sleep! I couldn’t get enough food in me and the sleep was in increments,no quality! On top of all that’s wrong, I broke out with shingles.Need Prayers!🙏
