Total Joint Replacement

Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic, or ceramic device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint.

Stephens County Hospital has been awarded a Certification of Distinction in Total Joint Replacement – knee and hip by the Joint Commission. To achieve certification, Stephens County Hospital is required to demonstrate compliance with consensus-based national standards as well as consistent use of appropriate, evidence-based clinical practices for hip and knee replacement.
