Specialty Care Areas

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery is a treatment for pain and disability in the hip, during which your hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant. Northwestern Medicine specialists use the latest technology to treat many types of hip conditions.

In knee replacement surgery, the weight-bearing surfaces of your knee joint are replaced with prosthetic joint hardware. Knee replacement surgery is needed when a knee joint is worn out or damaged.
