Joint Replacement Procedures

The American College of Rheumatology reported that more than 1.2 million knee and hip replacements are performed annually in the U.S. That number is expected to grow substantially as the population ages.

The ACR noted that total joint replacements are among the safest and most reliable treatments in any area of medicine. A hip or knee replacement done today can be expected to last for 20 or more years. In fact, for most patients, total joint replacement surgery will be a lifelong solution for arthritis of the hip or knee.
