Replacements last 30 years, thanks to changes in the materials they are made of. There is no wear and tear, meaning there is no inflammatory response or early loosening of the implants.

The idea with a hip or knee replacement is for you to be able to return to your physical activities without pain.

The surgery we do in Mexico is exactly the same as in the United States and Canada. We use the same surgical techniques, instruments, and implant brands. You can be sure that you are receiving the highest quality products and services available.

Replacement surgery is recommended for patients who already have too much joint pain. Once we perform surgery, removing the damaged cartilage and correcting the alignment to replace the joint with a mechanical implant, patients tell us that discomfort after surgery is minimal. We do offer pain management services at our clinic to help decrease the pain to a point that it is barely noticeable.

Replacements are designed for people of advanced age, which is the population that has commonly worn down their joints entirely. However, in recent years, recommendations have expanded to include replacements for younger patients.
