BJC HealthCare works with Washington University physicians, BJC Medical Group, and providers across the region to deliver extraordinary care. You receive care from orthopedic surgeons specializing in hip replacement surgery. Many have completed advanced training through fellowships and have been practicing for decades. We perform hundreds of hip replacement surgeries each year. You can count on us for precise care tailored to your needs. 

Highlights of our hip arthroplasty program include:  

• National recognition: Our commitment to care excellence places our hip replacement programs among the best in the nation. We maintain U.S. News and World Report’s “High-Performing” designation for hip replacement surgery. Our team has also earned  The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for advanced total hip replacement. 

• Specialized care for children and young adults: Congenital (present at birth) conditions, like hip dysplasia and femoralacetabular impingement, cause premature wear and tear. When other therapies are not successful, a hip replacement may be necessary. Surgeons who excel in treating these complex conditions perform surgery with the utmost attention to detail. 

• Range of options: You can count on us to deliver the best services for your needs. Options include partial hip replacements that preserve healthy tissue for better range of motion. We also offer revision surgery to replace worn-out artificial joints or correct issues with a previous procedure. 

• Focus on comfort: Our experts use hip arthroplasty techniques that are gentler on your body, leading to less blood loss and a quicker recovery. Whenever possible, we avoid disrupting healthy muscle tissue. We also inject non-narcotic numbing medications into your leg during surgery.
