Joint replacement surgery has been a specialty at Bryn Mawr Hospital for over twenty years.  Our team of orthopedic surgeons has performed thousands of these procedures and has helped to pioneer the latest surgical techniques.  In fact, we've been recognized nationally for our orthopedic expertise.  OR Benchmarks named Bryn Mawr Hospital as "Best Performer in Hip and Knee Replacements."

We've taken our already superior clinical program and enhanced it with comprehensive pre- and post-operative services.  The Joint Replacement Program at Bryn Mawr Hospital emphasizes wellness and maximizes patient recovery efforts through patient education, expectation setting, family involvement and group interaction.
