The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons thinks your sugeon should "Sign Your Site." When a surgeon signs their initials on the site where surgery should be performed, watch and verify. That way, there's less chance of operating on the wrong arm, hip, shoulder or knee. Orthopaedic surgeons are pushing to make it standard procedure, and you should too.

Chronic hip or knee pain makes everything more challenging. New developments in orthopaedics are bringing relief to these painful conditions and improvements in everyday life.

Ever wonder if you and your doctor are really communicating?

Bringing someone with you to visit your doctor may be one of the best things you do.

Has even the most ordinary physical exercise become just too much?
