Hip or knee replacement surgery can be intimidating, but minimally invasive procedures can now make the experience much less challenging, and provide more options for patients of all ages. When suffering from the daily pain of arthritis or other chronic conditions, electing joint replacement surgery can be a life-enhancing decision.
Joint replacement surgery techniques, and the replacement joints used during procedures, have changed dramatically in recent years.

Rheumatoid arthritis causes 1.3 million people to cringe in pain every day. 75 percent of those are women. There's no cure, but early diagnosis and treatment can keep people moving longer. Now there's new way doctors can detect it even before the pain sets in.
"I can't remember a day that I don't hurt," says Robyn Nichols.
For 30-year-old Nichols, the pain started at just two and a half years old. She says she takes 18 different prescriptions and the arthritis is getting worse.

London, March 9: Arthritis sufferers have 40 percent higher risk of developing erratic heartbeat which can trigger heart attacks and death, warn researchers.
The researchers believe the inflammation of joints in arthritis may cause irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation, besides formation of blood clots and stroke.
Rheumatoid arthritis tends to strike between the ages of 40 and 70 years and is more common amongst women than men. It is the result of the immune system attacking cells lining the joints, making them swollen, stiff and very painful, reported online journal BMJ.com.
