   The surgery in arthritis can be helpful in rebuilding the joints which is known as arthroplasty, it is also useful in knee replacement in order to maintain a much normal lifestyle. The decision is made by specialist doctor in order to perform the joint replacement be keeping in mind the lifestyle changes and medications that are of no effect. Some of these normal joints have a lubricant which is known as synovial fluid. There is a certain amount of fluid that needs to be produced in a certain amount, in the patients of arthritis this fluid is not produced in the required amount. Doctors may inject the arthritic joint with a artificial fluid that can delay the surgery temporarily and also improve the quality of life of a person who is suffering from arthritis.
   
   The best way of treating arthritis is to diagnose and treat it early so that you can prevent the damage to your bones. Check out if any of your family member has this arthritis problem and then later on you can share this information with your doctor, in case there is no joint symptoms. Osteoarthritis is much more likely to develop if you put on lots of pressure on your joints like you injure them. Do not put burden on the damaged joint . Also avoid successive and repetitive motions.
