The United States preforms millions of orthopedic surgeries every year. Nearly 800,000 knee replacements alone happen annually. The three most common orthopedic surgeries are knee, hip, and shoulder. Together they account for 1.3 million surgeries per year (450,000 for hip and 53,000 for shoulders). 230,000 additional surgeries take place for carpel tunnel syndrome.

These are common orthopedic procedures that make a drastic impact on everyday life. We at KCHS know that and experience these things with you.
