The experiences of the two patients bring this journey to life by framing it all in an easily read, informal, and enjoyable format.
These professional caregivers and experienced patients have created a uniquely excellent work on this complex and often confusing subject. This book will guide the person considering hip replacement surgery, or knee replacement surgery in making all the best choices to have the most excellent possible outcome, including helping their loved ones and personal caregivers on how to successfully navigate this life changing journey.
