UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester offers a premier joint replacement surgery program through its group of private orthopedic surgeons and as an integral part of its Musculoskeletal Center of Excellence. This program provides clinical expertise and care to patients so they can experience improved functioning and pain relief and return to normal activities as soon as possible.
When it comes to joint replacement surgery, experience makes a difference. Numerous national studies have shown that patients who have total joint replacements performed at hospitals that have a high volume of these procedures experience better outcomes. The orthopedic surgeons at UMass Memorial perform more than 1,200 total joint replacement surgeries annually, placing the Medical Center in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationally in terms of volume.
Joint replacement patients also benefit from our affiliation with UMass Medical School. This partnership provides patients with access to the latest clinical findings. Advancements in joint replacement surgery now being utilized at the Medical Center include minimally invasive surgery, gender specific knee replacements and new, longer-lasting, artificial components.
The Arthritis and Joint Replacement Center at UMass Memorial is the region's most comprehensive resource for joint pain patients. A multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, physiatrists, nutritionists and physical therapists are all available in one location, providing unparalleled convenience and rapid treatment for patients.
