Some people admire Canada for its publicly funded approach to healthcare; however, when it comes to elective surgeries, such as hip and knee surgery, patients often encounter frustrating delays that jeopardize their well-being.
Joint health evaluates the comfort and functionality of regions where two or more bones connect, taking the surrounding tissue and joint surfaces into account.
A healthy and active lifestyle depends on joint mobility, yet conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and joint effusions can severely limit movement and disrupt daily activities.
Fall-incited knee injuries can happen to anyone through various activities, including playing a sport, ascending stairs, or many other everyday events.
Joint pain is an uncomfortable, achy, stiff, or inflamed feeling in the area where two or more bones converge. It is most common in older individuals but can result from various ailments, including arthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and autoimmune diseases.
Nothing lasts forever, not even artificial hip joints installed during total hip replacement surgery. If those plastic, ceramic, or metal prostheses are installed correctly, they usually last for 15 to 20 years or, in some cases, the rest of the patient’s life.
