Joint preservation surgery is a set of techniques designed to delay or avoid the need for arthroplasty. These procedures treat underlying conditions such as cartilage damage, early arthritis, or joint deformity while preserving the natural structure of the joint. Techniques include osteotomy, cartilage repair, and ligament reconstruction. The goal is to preserve joint function and reduce pain, especially in younger patients who may not be ideal candidates for joint replacement. Joint preservation allows patients to maintain an active lifestyle while minimizing the risk of future complications or joint degeneration.
