Having to undergo joint replacement surgery, such as at your knee or your hip, can be scary, even if the pain in your joints is debilitating or affects your everyday activities.

Dato' Dr Badrul Shah Badaruddin, consultant orthopaedic and sports surgeon, and Assoc Prof Dr Ruslan Nazaruddin Simanjuntak, consultant orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeon from ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital share how these advances have improved outcomes for patients.
