As we get older, is arthritis inevitable? Orthopedic surgeon Hans Bengtson, MD says . . . it’s complicated.

"Arthritis is a vast diagnosis of conditions involving inflammation in the joints," Dr. Bengtson says. "The most common form is osteoarthritis, which affects millions of people worldwide.

Planning next steps for your new knee or hip

When you have orthopedic surgery, you want to feel at home with your new joint as quickly – and smoothly – as possible.

Improvements in anesthesia and surgical techniques have shortened recovery time for joint replacements. Patients typically leave the hospital within a day or two after surgery.

That means most of your recovery happens outside the hospital, usually at home.

Before surgery, we help you prepare for daily life after surgery to ensure your best recovery no matter how soon you leave the hospital.
