Today, thanks to improvements in surgical techniques, artificial joint materials, and anesthesia, total hip replacement surgery has become safer and more effective. In fact, things have improved so much, that it isn’t uncommon for surgeons to operate on patients well into their 90s and older. One of the best joint replacement programs in the nation is right in your own backyard, with locations in Slidell, Covington, and Hammond, Louisiana, and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
