Hip & Knee Replacement
The goal of Hip & Knee Replacement is to relieve the pain and correct the disabilities caused by damage done to the cartilage. Hip & Knee Replacement surgery is performed when other treatment options will not relieve your pain and disability. Our orthopedists perform large numbers of these operations each year. They can provide the latest techniques with the best outcomes to improve the quality of your life through greater independence and healthier pain-free activity.
Mission Hospital ranks among the top 15 hospitals in the country for volume of joint replacements performed each year. The quality of our results was recognized in 2003 when the hip and knee replacement programs were both rated among the best in the country by HealthGrades.
In 2006 Pardee Hospital was ranked among the top 5% of hospitals in the nation for clinical excellence by HealthGrades, the nation’s leading provider of independent hospital ratings. The Distinguished Hospital Award™ recognizes Pardee’s high quality of care across numerous medical specialties, including Joint Replacement Surgery.
