Joint Replacement

We follow the most rigorous standards to perform surgery that is safe and free from complications. BlueCross BlueShield named Vanderbilt Orthopaedics a Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement in recognition of our team meeting the highest standards of patient care. We are also designated as a United Healthcare Center of Excellence based on our team meeting the highest standards of patient safety and patient outcomes.

Our doctors perform thousands of joint replacements a year. They also serve in the organizations responsible for establishing national guidelines for patient care. Our depth of experience translates into expert care for you.

We tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs and health goals. Our rapid recovery program is designed to get you home the next day, or even the same day, to recover as quickly as possible.

Our team includes orthopaedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, occupational and physical therapists, a patient education coordinator and a social worker. We work together to ensure that you receive the comprehensive care you need.
