Advanced joint care near you
With locations throughout the southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey regions, you have access to all the experience and expertise of Penn Medicine’s dedicated joint replacement specialists at a convenient location near you. We offer:
Our orthopaedists are involved in a wide range of studies to explore new treatment concepts and test new and existing technologies.
We offer the most advanced joint reconstruction materials and techniques available. This includes the latest implants, which are shown to last longer, be more durable, and cause fewer problems like allergic reactions. We also perform minimally invasive and robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement surgery. Robotic technology takes exceptionally precise measurements, helping your surgeon account for your unique anatomy, which enhances the accuracy and alignment of your artificial joint.
Many patients receive traditional inpatient joint replacement surgery and stay overnight at one of our greater Philadelphia, Lancaster, or Princeton hospital locations. Some patients receiving minimally invasive hip or knee replacement surgery, either in an inpatient or outpatient setting, may be discharged the same day as their surgery to recover in the comfort of their own home. Candidates for same-day joint replacement surgery must be highly motivated to achieve a rapid recovery, have a dependable support network at home, and be in relatively good health.
We use sophisticated technology to safely manage and monitor your vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing) during and after surgery. Our advanced pain management protocol brings relief without increasing the risk of opioid overuse and addiction, while making your rehabilitation easier and recovery faster.
At Penn Medicine, we provide comprehensive education so you’ll know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your surgery. This may include joint replacement materials and classes to ensure you have all of the information you need ahead of time and put your mind at ease. Our care team will be with you every step of the way, from helping you schedule appointments and getting insurance approval to post-surgery rehabilitation.
Physical therapy plays a critical role in joint replacement care. Our skilled employed and affiliated therapists prepare you before surgery and work to quickly get you active afterward to help rebuild your strength and mobility.
