When is a joint replacement appropriate? with Prof Gillian Hawker

The impact of osteoarthritis remains a major challenge for healthcare systems worldwide with approximately 528 million people affected. The global prevalence of hip and knee OA is approaching 5% and expected to increase further with the aging population. The increasing rates of obesity in adults, combined with lack of physical activity and joint injuries are also contributing to the rise in OA incidence. Osteoarthritis is a serious condition which has substantial implications on one’s day-to-day functioning. It is associated with other diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and back pain all of which leads to an increase in mortality.

She is active staff in Rheumatology at Women’s College Hospital, where she is a clinician-scientist at the Women’s College Research Institute.
