Learn About Hips & Knees
We have created a collection of comprehensive, easy-to-follow patient education pieces to help you better understand hips and knees.
The information in each section will cover how a normal hip or knee works, symptoms associated with hip and knee impairments, how
problems are diagnosed and treated, surgical options, what recovering from a hip or knee surgery is like, and much more.
As patients, we urge you to take a careful look at the source of information online today; however, no information you read or hear
should replace seeing an orthopaedic specialist who can talk to you about your specific circumstances and assist you in choosing the
treatment option that is best for you. Commercials, as well as television "infomercials" and popular media such as magazines, newspapers
and web sites often generalize about treatment options or implants that are
"right for you." Remember, your situation is unique.
In some cases, patients may be misled by these sources and pick a surgery, surgeon or implant based on faulty information. Not only do you want the best treatment option for your circumstance, but you
want it to be administered by an orthopaedic specialist whose patients experience high success rates with low complication rates.
Patients who think they may be candidates for joint replacement should keep in mind that joint replacement surgery is a rapidly
evolving field and no single source of information can possibly cover all of the important considerations relevant to your medical
situation.
We have put together a complete list of links from reliable, non-commercial sources in our "links" section, you can visit it by
