If you need joint replacement -- including hip, knee, and other joints -- Duke’s experience and personal approach can put you on the road to improved mobility.

Surgeons at the Duke Total Joint Center perform more than 700 hip and knee replacements each year on patients ranging from young adults to senior citizens.

Patients come to us from across North America and from around the world.

While hip and knee replacements are most common, our surgeons’ expertise also extends to shoulders, elbows, ankles, and other joints.

Personal Approach to Care

Surgeons at Duke take an individualized approach to adult reconstructive surgery. A wide range of techniques, including vascularized bone grafting, arthroscopy of the hip and knee, partial replacements, and osteotomy, are used in an effort to delay the need for an artificial joint. Many of these techniques were pioneered at Duke.

Some of these conservative techniques are appropriate for younger people, and people with specific joint injuries.

Duke Orthopaedics ranked sixth in the nation in 2007 according to U.S. News & World Report.
