Facts and Myths about Joint Replacement Surgery

• As a kid, I have always been fascinated to know
  how we can control our body or rather how the
  brain sends messages to our body parts and gets
  them moving.
• Shoulders, legs, arms, knees, all of it have
  different joints and tissues that connect them to
  other parts of the body and still somehow the
  brain via nerves gets them all going by sending
  some sort of message.
• It is interesting how various joints of the body
  execute the different movements.
• However, these same joints can be affected if the
  related bones get damaged or the surrounding
  tissues degenerate or get affected.
