If your knee has deteriorated due to an active lifestyle, arthritis or another cause, we can help get you moving again. Our highly experienced orthopedic surgeons perform hundreds of knee replacement surgeries each year and offer the most advanced implants and techniques available.
Why Choose Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital for Knee Replacement Surgery
If you’re contemplating joint replacement surgery, trust our expert surgeons to deliver personalized care in a comfortable environment. Our infection rates rank among the lowest in the region for knee replacement surgery, so you can feel safe in our hospital. Our program also features:
- The same care as elite athletes: Our Washington University surgeons serve as the team doctors for the St. Louis Blues hockey team. You can receive the same level of care for your knee as a professional athlete.
- Advanced pain management: Our surgeons use non-narcotic intraoperative injections for pain control. This means less discomfort for you and no side effects from narcotics.
- Low infection rates: We consistently rank among the best when it comes to post-op infections in the St. Louis region.
- Personalized knee implants: Our implants come in various sizes and in gender-specific versions. Your surgeon will recommend the best implant for you and your lifestyle.
- Minimally invasive approaches: Whenever possible, our surgeons use small incisions and don’t cut muscle tissue when they perform a total knee replacement surgery. This means less risk of infection and reduced post-operative pain.
- Private rooms: Your comfort is important to us. We want you to be able to enjoy peace and quiet as you recover from surgery.
- Post-op rehab in the same convenient location: You don’t need to travel far for your post-op care. Your physical therapist is located right where you had surgery. This seamless integration of care means better outcomes for you and your new knee. Learn more about our Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation (STAR) center.
