Hip Replacement Surgery

The goal of hip replacement is to help you get back to an active lifestyle with less pain. In a total hip replacement surgery, doctors replace the diseased or damaged hip with an implant consisting of a stem, ball, liner, and acetabular cup.

Knee Replacement Surgery

More than 790,000 knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S.¹, making it one of the most common orthopaedic surgeries. During the surgery, damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the knee joint and replaced with a man-made joint — all in only 1-2 hours.
