11. Medical malpractice laws in Spain
The National Medical Association in Spain has adopted the
malpractice and liability standards that were set by the World Medical
Association. The WMA was created to ensure the independence of
physicians, and to work for the highest possible standards of ethical
behavior and care by physicians, at all times.
In Spain, the public hospitals, health centers and medical
practitioners have coverage from private insurance companies.
There is currently, no insurance system for private doctors and hospitals,
and liability claims are paid directly from the health institution's budget.

12. Knee replacement
Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty
is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to
relieve the pain and disability of osteoarthritis It may be performed for other knee diseases
such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. In patients with severe deformity from
advanced rheumatoid arthritis trauma, or long standing osteoarthritis, the surgery may be
more complicated and carry higher risk. Osteoporosis does not typically cause knee pain,
deformity, or inflammation and is not a reason to perform knee replacement.
Other major causes of debilitating pain include meniscus tears, cartilage defects, and
ligament tears. Debilitating pain from osteoarthritis is much more common in the elderly.
Knee replacement surgery can be performed as a partial or a total knee replacement. In
general, the surgery consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces of the knee
with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee.
The operation typically involves substantial postoperative pain, and includes vigorous
physical rehabilitation. The recovery period may be 6 weeks or longer and may involve the
use of mobility aids (e.g. walking frames, canes, crutches) to enable the patient's return to
preoperative mobility.

14. Get moving again
The breakdown of cartilage in your
joints often leads to pain and joint
stiffness. The joints most commonly
affected are the knees, hips, and those
in the hands and spine.

15. Hip replacement
Hip replacement
is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Hip
replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (half) replacement. Such
joint replacement orthopedic surgery is generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe
physical joint damage as part of hip fracture treatment. A total hip replacement (total hip
arthroplasty consists of replacing both the acetebelum and the femoral head while
hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently the most
common orthopedic operation, though patient satisfaction short and long term varies widely.
Hip resurfacing
has been developed as a surgical alternative to total hip replacement(THR). The procedure
consists of placing a cobalt-chrome metal cap, which is hollow and shaped like a mushroom, over
the head of the femur while a matching metal cup (similar to what is used with a THR) is placed in
the acetabelum (pelvis socket), replacing the articulating surfaces of the patient's hip joint and
removing very little bone compared to a THR. When the patient moves the hip, the movement of
the joint induces synovial fluid to flow between the hard metal bearing surfaces lubricating them
when the components are placed in the correct position. The surgeon's level of experience with hip
resurfacing is most important; therefore, the selection of the right surgeon is crucial for a successful
outcome.

17. Shoulder replacement
Shoulder replacement
is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the glenohumoral joint is replaced by a
prosthetic implant. Such joint replacement surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis
pain or fix severe physical joint damage.
Shoulder replacement surgery is an option for treatment of severe arthritis of the
shoulder joint. Arthritis is a condition that affects the cartilage of the joints. As the cartilage
lining wears away, the protective lining between the bones is lost. When this happens,
painful bone-on-bone arthritis develops. Severe shoulder arthritis is quite painful, and can
cause restriction of motion. While this may be tolerated with some medications and lifestyle
adjustments, there may come a time when surgical treatment is necessary.
