Is Arthroplasty the same as Joint Replacement?

Arthroplasty and joint replacement are both surgical procedures used to treat joint problems that cannot be resolved through non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy or medication.

Arthroplasty refers to a surgical procedure that involves the reconstruction or replacement of a joint, which may involve the use of synthetic materials or bone grafts. Joint replacement, on the other hand, specifically refers to the replacement of a damaged joint with a prosthetic joint, typically made of metal or plastic.
