Highlights of our arthroplasty program include:  

• Nationally recognized care: BJC ranks among the nation’s top joint replacement programs for hip and knee, according to U.S. News & World Report. Our program also maintains The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Advanced Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement. 

• Multidisciplinary care: Our team delivers efficient care, helping you have a safe surgery and quicker return to daily activities. In addition to surgeons, your care team includes experts in anesthesiology, orthopedic nursing, physical therapy and occupational therapy. We work together to help you feel cared for every step of the way. 

• Seamless transition to rehabilitation: You start using your new joint as soon as it is safe, often shortly after surgery. Experienced rehabilitation specialists help you feel comfortable and confident before discharge. Recovery typically continues in outpatient settings in clinics with special amenities, like therapy pools.  

• Education and support: Moving forward with arthroplasty takes a lot of courage. Our team is with you every step of the way. We offer classes where you learn what to expect before, during and after your procedure. Case managers and social workers provide additional assistance to patients who need it.
