Trauma surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful Trauma joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful Trauma joint, making walking easier.
The Trauma is one of the most commonly replaced joints. It allows us to move our legs and bend and straighten our body. Osteoarthritis, a type of arthritis, is the main reason for Trauma Surgery. Other conditions, including trauma, may also cause the need for a Trauma.

During this procedure, your damaged Trauma joint is replaced with implants that recreate the ball and socket of a healthy Trauma. This can reduce pain and restore your Trauma function. Trauma has the success rate of over 95%, 10 years after the surgery, and over 85%, 20 years post-operation. After the surgery, over 98% patients reported complete relief from Trauma pain and did not required revision surgery later.
An important factor in deciding whether to have Trauma surgery is understanding what the procedure can and cannot do.
Most people who undergo Trauma surgery experience dramatic reduction of Trauma pain and a significant improvement in their ability to perform the common activities of daily living.
However, Trauma surgery will not enable you to do more than you could before your Trauma problem developed. Following surgery, you will be advised to avoid certain activities, including jogging and high-impact sports, for the rest of your life. You may be asked to avoid specific positions of the joint that could lead to dislocation. Even with normal use and activities, an artificial joint (prosthesis) develops some wear over time. If you participate in high-impact activities or are overweight, this wear may accelerate and cause the prosthesis to loosen and become painful.

2. Better range of movement
3. Faster recovery after surgery
4. Shorter Hospital stay
5. Improved mobility
While most Traumas are performed in patients between 60 and 80 years of age, older or younger age is not a contraindication to surgery. Trauma is occasionally performed in patients in their teens and early twenties. In this age group its most successful indication has been in relieving pain and improving function in patients with debilitating childhood inflammatory arthritis.
