Knee Replacement
A knee replacement is recommended to help relieve pain and keep you mobile. We may consider a total knee replacement under certain circumstances, but there is also an option for a partial knee replacement. This will depend on the level of pain you are experiencing and how damaged the joint is.
Hip Replacement
A hip arthroplasty is more commonly known as a hip replacement. This type of hip surgery involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant, which is made from metal and plastic.
