Is there any age restrictions for Joint Replacement Surgery? - Dr. Veera Reddy Jayar |
|
There is no age restriction as such for a joint replacement surgery. I have performed joint replacement surgery in a 96 year old. However younger the patient try and avoid the joint replacement surgery because their demands are quite high and the satisfaction rates will be slightly lower. However it is about the quality of the life that matters. Irrespective of your age if the joint is damaged patient is suffering and affects his quality of life joint replacement surgery can be performed at any age.
