Hip and Knee Joint Replacement and Hip Resurfacing
Hip and knee joint replacement surgery can relieve the pain and discomfort caused by arthritis (degenerative joint disease). In the past, joint replacement was limited to older and less mobile patients, but surgeons at UW Health also offer joint replacement to younger, more active patients with hip or knee arthritis.

Elbow and Shoulder Joint ReplacementLocated at a complex intersection of nerves, muscles, blood vessels and tendons, the elbow can be a very intimidating area for surgeons.
