The Joint Replacement Center at Roper Hospital performs the most joint replacement surgeries in South Carolina and is a leader in the Southeast.

The Joint Replacement Center helps patients return to their normal way of life. It allows them to again embrace all life has to offer, the way they did before they became hampered by chronic pain. Designed specifically for the diagnosis and treatment of joint pain, the Joint Replacement Center has a regional reputation for its superior surgical techniques, excellent outcomes and high levels of patient satisfaction.

The philosophy that drives the Joint Replacement Center is what makes the program different from the others. Along with the hospital administration, the dedicated staff of surgeons, nurses, therapists, and other caregivers at the Center have come together and agreed on a process that has proven to produce the best and most efficient outcomes. A standardized plan of care begins even before the patient enters the hospital.

Each of our surgeons has received years of specialized training from top medical schools and residency programs in the field of orthopedic surgery. The center's staff is dedicated to providing high quality care with individualized attention focused on each patient's progress. Inpatient rehabilitation plays a vital role in a patient's full recovery and begins the day following surgery. For patients requiring additional physical therapy after discharge, Roper St. Francis Healthcare's Rehabilitation Services offers outpatient rehabilitation.

The Joint Replacement Center presents monthly seminars that address hip and knee pain. For more information or to register for one of the seminars, please call HealthLine at 402-CARE or 1-800-863-CARE.
