Why would a person need joint replacement?

To work with ease, you need a joint that is perfect and devoid of pain and similar issues. Joint issues can occur during the day to day life activities and also with wear and tear due to old age. When chronic pain in the joints occurs, it can be very difficult for people. Sometimes the medications, physiotherapy, and steroids won't be enough to remove the pain, and hence we should go for joint replacement surgery.
