Is joint replacement right for me?
You may benefit from joint replacement surgery if:
- Joint pain gets in the way of physical activities you like or need to do
- You have more bad days than good days
- Nonsurgical treatments haven’t eased pain enough
- You can commit to several weeks of physical therapy after surgery

How treatment works
