Technology Propels Advances in Hip and Knee Replacements
The hip and knee joints are two areas of our bodies that are most prone to wear and tear over time, given their vital role in human movement. When the cartilage that cushions the bones within these joints begins to ebb away (from a lifetime of use or as the result of an injury to the joint), the result is osteoarthritis. Hip or knee replacement is advised when a patient's joint pain is so pronounced that their mobility and quality of life become compromised.
