Joint Replacement Surgery
If you’re suffering from severely stiff, painful joints, even small tasks can feel like monumental challenges. And while medication, physical therapy or other nonsurgical options may help ease your pain, sometimes surgery is your best solution for long-term relief.
At AtlantiCare’s Musculoskeletal Institute, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint replacement of the hips, knees, shoulders, wrists
Joint replacement involves removing damaged bone and cartilage and implanting a state-of-the-art mechanical joint. In addition to relieving pain, the procedure can help restore function and mobility and get you back to an active lifestyle.
Call 1-888-569-1000 to make your appointment and see if joint replacement can help you start feeling, and living, like you again.

Relief Starts with South Jersey’s Joint Replacement Specialists
AtlantiCare’s joint replacement program has brought life-changing relief to hundreds of men and women throughout our Atlantic City, Manahawkin, Egg Harbor Township and surrounding communities. We’re here to do the same for you through:
Full Range of Options
Your surgeon will work closely with you to find the right procedure, depending on your condition and unique needs. In addition to total joint replacement, we also perform partial joint replacement if the damage is confined to one area and conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication no longer provide relief. Because only a single portion of the knee is replaced, you may get back on your feet faster.
Robotic Surgery: Better Precision, Less Incision
AtlantiCare’s orthopedic surgeons are trained in some of the most sophisticated techniques and technology available in joint replacement. That includes robotic-assisted technology, which allows us to generate a 3D model of your unique joint area to precisely plan your surgery. During the procedure, your surgeon guides a robotic-arm based on that plan, allowing for the exact positioning of your implant while helping preserve healthy bone.
We also offer other minimally invasive options like quadricep-sparing total knee replacement and direct anterior hip replacement, which require just a few small incisions and avoid damage to surrounding muscles. For you, this may mean significantly less pain, fewer complications
Same-Day Joint Procedures
There’s nowhere like home, and no one understands this more than the orthopedic surgeons at AtlantiCare. It’s why they’ve developed a breakthrough in orthopedic care — Same-Day Joint Replacement. Through their unmatched expertise, our surgeons have refined the procedure for maximum efficiency. So you can wake up in your own bed, have world-class surgery during the day and go back to your own bed that very night.
Total Support for the Journey
We know joint replacement surgery can feel overwhelming, but we’ve designed our program to put you at ease. Every step of your journey is highly coordinated, starting with a pre-surgery educational class so you know just what to expect before, during and after your procedure. We’ll then guide you seamlessly through surgery, physical therapy and life with your new joint.
Along the way, you’ll also have the support of an orthopedic coordinator to help answer questions and provide extra support. Click here to email the joint coordinator.
