Joint Health & Replacement

Joints are the point where two bones meet. You have hundreds of joints throughout your body. The ones you’re most likely to be familiar with are the ones often affected by orthopedic conditions: 

• Elbows 
• Fingers
• Hips
• Knees
• Shoulders
• Wrists

Fractures and overuse injuries commonly affect your joints, as well as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis that wear down the cartilage that cushions your joints and may damage bone. Pain, stiffness and mobility problems that interfere with everyday life may be the result.

At New England Baptist Hospital, our expert team offers diagnostic services, including a complete range of imaging tests. We also offer specialized care for arthritis, sports medicine, and specific joints including these:

• Foot and ankle
• Hand, wrist and elbow
• Hip
• Knee
• Shoulder
• Spine

Through our New England Baptist Orthopedic (NEBO) Program, we offer exceptional care throughout the region.

We provide personalized joint treatments based on your specific condition. Whenever possible, we begin with conservative therapies, like physical and occupational therapy.

Joint preservation and restoration use nonsurgical and surgical treatments to address damaged joints. In many cases, it can delay or prevent the need for joint replacement surgery, a procedure that involves replacing damaged portions of your joint with artificial parts.

If you need joint replacement, our expert surgeons offer the latest minimally invasive procedures and advanced techniques. These procedures are designed to be as easy as possible on you and to help you have the quickest recovery and the best results.

At New England Baptist Hospital, you get leading-edge care, highly skilled, experienced providers and compassion — everything you need to get back to doing things you enjoy and having a good quality of life. We’ve received awards and recognition for our work, including The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement and U.S. News and World Report’s top rating of “High Performing” for both hip and knee replacements. You can rest assured that you’re in good hands with us.
