Joint Replacement
Getting You Back to the Life You Love
Debilitating joint pain and arthritis can dramatically erode a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, joint replacement surgery offers real hope for pain reduction and return to activity. That’s why we’re proud to showcase this service the Sutter Health network of care, where we offer more than 300 orthopedic surgeons and world class orthopedic programs across Northern California.
Joint replacement is a time-tested procedure, having been performed for more than 40 years. Today, orthopedic surgeons at Sutter Health offer Northern Californians a wide range of options, including hip, knee and shoulder replacement, as well as procedures involving the elbow, hand, wrist and ankle. Within the Sutter Health network, you’ll find surgeons who utilize effective, new options alongside traditional, best-practice approaches. From the choice of prosthesis to surgical approach, our first goal at Sutter Health is to find the approach that best fits each patient.
