About Total Joint Replacement

Total joint replacement is a common surgical procedure performed to alleviate pain and restore function to the hips or knees.

It involves removing parts of your natural joint and replacing them with artificial parts. Knee replacement is the most common type of joint replacement surgery.

Joint replacement may be necessary due to damage caused by arthritis, an accident, or other conditions.
