Joint Replacement
Over time, the cartilage (cushioning) in your joints breaks down, causing painful osteoarthritis. Cartilage doesn’t grow back, so your best option for long-term relief may be joint replacement surgery. This common procedure exchanges your worn-out knee, hip or shoulder with an implant that feels natural. In most cases, you only need to spend one night in the hospital.
