Hip and knee replacements are surgical procedures that involve replacing a damaged or diseased joint with an artificial joint, or prosthesis. These procedures can be performed to eliminate pain and improve mobility in people with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions that cause joint damage.

These procedures have significantly evolved over the years, and today they are considered to be highly effective treatments for joint pain and disability.

The surgical technique used for hip and knee replacements has been refined over time, and the materials used in the prostheses have improved as well. Modern hip and knee replacements are designed to be long-lasting and provide good function and mobility. However, like any surgical procedure, hip and knee replacements carry risks and complications, and the decision to undergo these procedures should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare provider.
