Center for Orthopedic Surgery
The Center
The 24,000-square-foot facility is dedicated exclusively to providing same-day orthopedic surgeries, including total hip and knee replacements; hand, foot, and ankle surgeries; sports medicine, pain management, and spine procedures.
Why Choose Us - Same-Day Surgery
AtlantiCare currently offers same-day joint replacement surgery in the hospital setting for patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery and total knee replacement surgery. This approach means patients can have surgery in the morning and go home that very same day.
We offer a patient-centered and compassionate approach to help you return to a healthy and active lifestyle. Our team of providers are dedicated to caring for you every step of the way to ensure you are on the road to a new and healthier you.
In the past, joint replacement patients typically would spend three to four days – or even longer – in the hospital. But thanks to advances in joint replacement techniques and pain management, patients can go home the day of surgery. Now a patient's rehabilitation begins within hours after surgery.
