If severe joint pain is keeping you from doing the
things you enjoy most in life, then you might be a candidate
for joint replacement surgery. 
Today, nearly 600,000
total knee and hip replacement surgeries are performed
annually in the United States. The purpose of joint
replacement surgery is to reduce pain and immobility
associated with osteoarthritis and/or severe joint injuries,
and to return patients to a more normal lifestyle.
The Center for Joint Replacement at Pardee Hospital is a unique facility dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients undergoing joint replacement surgery for knee, hip and shoulder.
For its third consecutive year, the Center for Joint Replacement at Pardee Hospital has been ranked in the top five hospitals for joint replacement surgery in North Carolina and in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide by HealthGrades. Pardee Hospital received the HealthGrades Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ in 2008 for the Center for Joint Replacement's dedication to excellence in joint replacement, including total hip and knee replacement.
