At Memorial Medical Center, our complications or risks associated with hip or knee replacements are extremely low because we constantly monitor our two biggest concerns – joint infection and blood clots. Antibiotics are routinely used to minimize the risk of infection, which occurs in less than 2% in Memorial joint replacement patients. Special support hose, inflatable leg coverings and blood thinning medication are used to ward off blood clots.
