Arthritis-Related Joint Damage: Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and similar conditions frequently lead to joint replacements.
Osteoarthritis: This wear-and-tear arthritis is a prevalent cause of knee and hip replacements.
Osteoporosis (Brittle Bone Disease): Causes fragility fractures that may require hip replacement.
Degeneration from Wear and Tear: Regular activities, occupational demands, sports, or aging can contribute to joint degeneration.
