Joint Replacement

In 1975, UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center was the site of Anne Arundel County's first joint replacement surgery. Since then, our orthopedists have performed thousands of joint replacements and continue to achieve excellence through the latest technologies and successful surgical outcomes.

The Joint Replacement Center provides comprehensive, team-focused care to patients before, during and after joint replacement surgery for the knee and hip. Minimally invasive surgical techniques and the latest technologies help our patients get back to living an active lifestyle.

In addition to our skilled orthopedic surgeons, the center's care team includes a dedicated nurse practitioner who works closely with patients prior to and following surgery, physical therapists, social workers and case managers. We offer a variety of pain management options to provide a comfortable recovery, and the majority of our patients are walking two hours after surgery and are able to go home the next day.

Many of our orthopedic surgeons are part of the University of Maryland Joint Network, a group of surgeons known for their advanced expertise in total hip and knee replacement. This experience and expertise results in lower infection rates and better outcomes overall.
