There are many alternative treatments to treat arthritis, and acupuncture is one of the most popular. Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide. It is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints.
With surgeons offering total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to increasingly younger patients with osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions, the idea that both knees could be replaced during the same operation is appealing. Many of these patients still work, and by undergoing surgery only once, they minimize time off from work and, theoretically, minimize the risk of complications from a second anesthesia and hospitalization.
Years of wear and tear can take a toll on your knees. If you have experienced pain dull, achy, or sharp knee pain while standing, chances are that your pain is being caused by one of three conditions.
Recovering from total knee or total hip replacement is a gradual process but the payoff is great: less pain and more mobility. Here's a guide to what to expect after your joint replacement surgery.
Total hip replacement has become one of the most common and most successful types of orthopedic surgeries. Nearly 500,000 hip replacement surgeries are done in the United States every year. While hip replacement surgery is largely standardized, there are variations in surgical techniques.
