  • "Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic pain and disability related to hip and knee joints. Approximately 40 million Americans have clinically significant arthitis, including more than half of people under age 65. Treatment of arthritis usually begins with medical interventions to prevent or reduce arthritis-related pain. When nonoperative measures are ineffective, surgery becomes an important treatment consideration.

The benefits and risks of osteotomy and joint fusion, and of the gold-standard operative treatment for arthritis joint replacement are discussed in detail.
