Are You Eligible For Joint Replacement Surgery?

Each patient is unique, as are the reasons they consider joint replacement surgery. In general, candidates for knee or hip replacement surgery experience:

  • Pain severe enough to restrict work and recreation, AND the routine activities of daily living.
  • Pain that is not relieved by non-operative treatment, such as reduced activity, medication or physical therapy.
  • Advanced arthritis or other degenerative conditions.

As with any type of surgery, medical clearance by your physician is required.
