FAQ
Orthopaedics — Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can I have joint replacement surgery?
There is no strict age limit. The decision is based on the severity of joint damage, symptom burden, and overall health. Active patients in their 50s and elderly patients in their 80s can both be good candidates.
What is the difference between open and arthroscopic surgery?
Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery uses small incisions and a camera to treat joint problems inside the joint, with minimal tissue disruption. Open surgery provides direct access for more complex reconstructions.
