Living with joint pain can be challenging.

At Portneuf Medical Center, our joint replacement specialists aim to reduce your level of pain, restore mobility and improve joint function.
We offer hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, and shoulder replacement surgery at our Total Joint Center. Our total joint replacement specialists perform over 1,000 replacements annually, with a 97% satisfaction rate. Whenever possible, our surgeons use minimally-invasive techniques. Minimally invasive surgery, or robotic surgery, is beneficial to patients for a number of reasons. Robotic surgery gives your surgeon greater accuracy and uses smaller incisions. This results in faster recoveries, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to daily activities.
