These days we all want to lead active lives. People in the 60+ age group want to exercise; travel take courses…enjoy their retirement. To live life to the fullest we need to be mobile. This desire has led to a tremendous increase worldwide in knee and Hip replacement surgeries.

A key element in a replacement surgery is the artificial joint that is used. The choice of joint and precise placement will go a long way in determining our mobility and the longevity of the joint.

At MIOT we have made great strides in this field , thanks to our expertise ( having performed 21,000 replacement surgeries) So are we closer to the holy Grail of replacement surgery- the “ fit it and forget it” joint that lasts a lifetime?
