What is hip replacement?
It is a metal and plastic covering for raw, arthritic bone ends. It replaces cartilage that has worn away over the years. Hip replacement can eliminate pain and allow you to move easily with less discomfort.
Who should have a hip replacement?
When arthritis hip pain severely limits your ability to walk, work or perform even simple activities, hip replacement may be considered.
What is knee replacement?
It is a metal or plastic covering for raw, arthritic bone ends. It replaces cartilage that has worn away over the years. Knee replacement can eliminate pain and allow you to move easily with less discomfort. For those that have become bow legged or knock-kneed over the years, it can also straighten your legs to a more natural position.
