If you need to treat your joint osteoarthritis in Miami, you have come to the right place. At Plastic Surgery Boutique we perform interventions for this very common type of arthritis for the elderly and young people who suffer from the first symptoms.
Joint osteoarthritis is a very common type of arthritis that occurs mainly in people over 70 years of age. However, the first symptoms may appear at the age of 50. For this reason, if you begin to suffer from some of the symptoms such as pain or stiffness in some joints, the ideal is to consult a specialist so that they can tell you when to start joint osteoarthritis surgery.
If you feel discomfort, pain, tension or stiffness in your joints, you have reason to make an appointment or give us a call and ask us about joint osteoarthritis surgery in Miami. We will inform you about the process, techniques, prices and everything you need to know.
You do not need any preparation for osteoarthritis surgery in Miami. You should only go to the different planning appointments before the operation and not consume food or drinks before the intervention.
There are many different types of surgery to treat joint osteoarthritis, because depending on the affected area, it will be performed in one way or another.
Joint osteoarthritis has a simpler postoperative period than might be expected, since the intervention often does not require too many steps. However, it will depend on the area of the body in which it has been performed.
If you have constant or periodic pain in any of your joints, you are the candidate for joint osteoarthritis surgery in Miami. However, if these discomforts are mild, it is advisable to wait.
There are no reasons not to perform an intervention for joint osteoarthritis. Only in case of having an advanced age and very slight discomfort.
A price for the surgery cannot be specified, because depending on the affected area, the techniques vary. The most common are interventions in the area of the knees, feet, hands and elbows. We recommend that you consult us to know our rates so that we can guide you.
In the same way that it is complex to specify a price, it happens over time. Since each intervention will vary, the duration cannot be estimated. It is rarely less than an hour and only in exceptional cases exceeds two and a half hours.
There are no risks in the intervention beyond the risks of anesthesia or the complications that may arise from a poor recovery the following days.
There are restorative surgeries, preventive surgeries… and then, depending on the affected area, some techniques or others are applied. For this reason it is impossible to speak of a specific number of techniques. The best thing is to consult with us and we will inform you.
Some of the most common questions from patients:
Of course, obesity is one of the factors that cause osteoarthritis in the legs and knees.
It is not very common to worsen dramatically after the intervention, although after a few years it could present symptoms again, although much milder.
In general, the diagnosis is made using magnetic resonance imaging or X-rays. These non-invasive methods allow the first symptoms of osteoarthritis or cartilage damage to be detected in order to start treating it as soon as possible. You should always consult with specialist doctors to make a proper diagnosis.
The main symptoms caused by osteoarthritis are pain and stiffness in the joints when getting up in the morning. The pain may go away during the day and come back at night, when activity is reduced. There may also be swelling or clicking in the joints as additional symptoms.
Non-surgical treatments do not solve the problem, but they can help reduce symptoms. In most cases, some analgesics, anti-inflammatories or corticosteroids are prescribed. There are also physical therapy exercises that can help improve mobility and reduce joint pain.
Joint osteoarthritis surgery in Miami is considered safe. The risks that may exist are the standards for any surgical procedure: allergy to anesthesia, poor healing, bruising or bleeding. All these problems have a solution and do not require additional precautions.
