Hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery are two of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed at Wickenburg Community Hospital Surgical Clinic. Our orthopedic surgery specialist Dr. Mitch Wagner uses several factors including your medical history, to help determine if joint replacement surgery is right for you. 

• If a hip replacement is recommended, it means that it is the best treatment option to decrease hip pain to improve your quality of life. Typically, this is the approach taken after you’ve tried other measures such as injections, medication, or physical therapy.
• As the largest joint in the body, the knee is a critical hinge for your leg. A knee replacement can reduce your knee pain, muscle weakness, and function issues. If Dr. Wagner determines that you are a good candidate for knee replacement, he will determine the best type of implant and surgical technique based on your medical history.
