Learn MoreIf you have one arthritic knee that needs to be replaced, chances are the other knee may not be far behind. Many wonder why not get them done at the same time? Only in rare cases, usually involving severe bilateral injury, do we replace both knees at the same time.

Each year, Memorial Hermann Joint Center physicians perform more than 3,000 hip and knee joint replacement procedures, more than are performed at any other hospital system in the Greater Houston area.
