Advice on joint replacement...

Hello everyone


Joint replacements don't always last a lifetime. This is especially true of the rising number of younger patients (i.e. under 50) who are opting for a joint replacement surgery at younger and younger ages.

I want to say that delay your primary joint replacement as long as you can and exhaust other methods of preserving your failing joint.

When you finally need to take the plunge, find a top-notch surgeon and, most importantly, take good care of your new joint so that hopefully at last as long as you do.
