Hip arthroplasty, or the hip replacement procedure, is regarded by many medical experts as one of the most significant advances in medical science of the past fifty years. The vast majority of the millions of patients worldwide undergoing the procedure have as a result enjoyed a vastly improved quality of life, and a 2018 study in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research in fact showed a slight increase in longevity over the general population for the 10 year period after surgery.

A study published in the Medical Journal of Australia in April this year* highlighted a steep rise in ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries and knee reconstruction surgery - a rise of more than 70% in this type of surgery for young men and women in Australia over a fifteen year period. What is concerning is the increase in incidence in children under 14, which is the highest growth group.

JRC offers a Pioneering care philosophy and pathway for South Australians requiring Joint Replacement surgery.

The JRC was founded by Prof Jegan Krishnan. Prof. Krishnan and Dr Sunil Reddy have come together to establish this comprehensive pathway of care in Joint Replacement surgery.

This pioneering care philosophy and pathway is available for all South Australians requiring Knee, hip or Shoulder replacements.
