Are Hip And Shoulder Replacement Necessary After Ankle And Knee Replacement?
If I have had a ankle replacement due to an injury over 20 yrs ago and back fusion surgery last year and now find I have to have a knee replacement due to osteoarthritis degeneration of my knee and most probably both knees, should i expect my hips and shoulders will eventually follow the same pattern? I am 62, 5'4", 224 lbs, female.
