Are you a candidate?
Your physician may have diagnosed you with osteoarthritis, a condition that causes inflammation of the joints. This inflammation results in pain that can interfere with the enjoyment of daily and routine activities.
Adjustments in diet, weight, exercise and medication can help lessen the symptoms, but if they persist, surgery may be an option. Joint replacement surgery is one of the many surgical options.
Approximately 300,000 total hip and knee replacement surgeries are performed each year in this country on patients suffering from debilitating and severe arthritis. Surgery can help alleviate pain and help patients become mobile.
If you suffer from osteoarthritis, talk to a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who can assess your condition to determine what option may be good for you. For a list of board-certified orthopedic physicians affiliated with Memorial Hermann Northwest hospital, call 713-222-CARE (2273) or search our online listings.
