What is the biggest problem that people who have joint replacements face?
When a patient receives a joint replacement, either the hips, knees, or even fingers, there are some problems or complications may result. The effectiveness of the replacements depend on several things, including the type of replacement, surgical technique, patients' health, and patients' activity after surgery. The complications that can happen include the types that may occur after any type of surgery, including infections. But with replacements, the biggest issue is if the replacement can hold and not break down, which will then mean that a revision surgery is needed.
