Across Canada, thousands of patients are living with chronic hip or knee pain and waiting an exorbitant amount of time for orthopedic surgery. Unfortunately, mobility and quality of life can worsen during their wait, rendering conservative treatments ineffective.
Knee pain and problems are universal issues and can affect any age group. If you or someone you know are experiencing knee pain, swelling, inflammation or soreness, here are a few ways to combat the symptoms.
A total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a knee surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon to alleviate pain caused by arthritis and other knee damaging conditions.
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery refers to modifications of conventional knee replacement surgery designed to reduce tissue trauma and improve recovery time.
An anterior total hip replacement is also known as a total hip arthroplasty and is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint to allow patients to function without hip pain.
