A recognized leader in joint replacement, performing more than 1,000 procedures every year, the Hospital of Saint Raphael is also the top hospital in Connecticut for bilateral joint replacement.
Advances in bone and joint treatment have been remarkable, and the Hospital of Saint Raphael has not only kept up with these innovations but has long been at the forefront of them. More patients choose Saint Raphael’s than any other hospital in Connecticut for bilateral joint replacement, where both knees or both hips are replaced during the same operation.
Each year, the hospital performs over 1,000 joint replacement surgeries. Its highly skilled orthopedic surgeons also carry out more single joint replacement procedures—including knee and hip surgeries, as well as replacements of the shoulder, ankle, hand, and wrist—than any other hospital in the region.
Today, this advanced care is delivered at Saint Raphael’s new Bone and Joint Center, located in a newly constructed $11 million wing of the hospital.
