Knee and hip replacements are traditionally considered to be surgeries considered later in life, but more and more, younger patients are seeking out the procedures, according to a Chicago-area surgeon.
44-year-old Jolene Noel is one such patient, as she had both of her knees replaced in a pair of 2016 surgeries.
Dr. Richard Berger, Rush University Medical Center Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics, performed the surgery but had some concerns before his patient went under the knife.
