Is age a consideration for joint replacement?

Age is not a problem if you are in reasonably good health and have the desire to continue living a productive, active life. You may ask to see your personal physician for an opinion about your general health and readiness for surgery. An advantage of the Biomet® Rapid Recovery Program is returning patients to their daily lives and activities at a faster rate than traditional joint replacement surgery.
