We understand that the decision to have joint replacement surgery comes only after much consideration and planning. Likewise, our preparations have been extensive. The board-certified orthopedic surgeons on staff at Huguley Memorial Medical Center have many years of training and experience. Our nurses and therapists have a strong background in joint replacement surgeries. Even your hospital room has been designed with you in mind, with special equipment to assist you in your recovery.
Each year, over 500,000 people in the U.S. undergo total joint replacement surgery. Typically, candidates for this surgery are individuals with chronic joint pain from arthritis that severely diminishes their ability to perform normal daily activities. This often leads to a loss of independence and low self esteem. A replacement joint can make a big difference in your ability to return to work or other activities that you enjoy.
