    There is no right or wrong time to have a joint replaced. It is a combination of things that lead to that treatment decision – how bad your condition is, how much it affects your quality of life and activities of daily living, and what treatment you have already received. There is no hard set limit on when it is appropriate – Dr. Murray will discuss with you appropriate treatments to try and avoid joint replacement, but if you end up requiring it as the best option, there isn’t a time on that treatment
