We have a collection of
knee and hip illustrations to help you understand what's involved in a knee
or hip replacement. You will be able to examine animated knee and hip replacement
surgeries step-by-step, watching how an orthopedic surgeon restores
mobility by replacing painful, arthritic bone and cartilage with new
metal surfaces and a plastic gliding interface.
If you wish, you can
even print a color brochure for each illustration. Just click below on
any animation you wish to see and/or print.
