When your joint pain becomes unbearable, you might need to consider joint replacement surgery. If that’s the case, it’s important to seek out an experienced surgeon to perform your procedure. At Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, our surgeons perform hundreds of these surgeries every year, making them among the most experienced in the region.
