Joint surgery has changed in important ways in the past decade or so — and you should know what questions to ask and what to expect before scheduling your surgery. 

In an episode of Live Yes! With Arthritis, a podcast by the Arthritis Foundation, David J.

Find out what to expect, how to prepare and what to look for to make your surgery experience as successful as possible — so you can get back to living your life with less pain and more mobility.
