Aiken Regional Medical Center's Joint Replacement Center was established May 1999. Designed specifically for the treatment of patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery, the Center has developed an excellent reputation for providing a unique approach to joint replacement surgery. You won't find hospital gowns being worn by our Joint Replacement patients. Our patients are encouraged to dress in their own clothes and participate in a myriad of activities that lead to a quick recovery. Our average hospitalization is 4 nights with patients being admitted on Monday and going home by Thursday or Friday.
Patients participate in a pre-operative education class prior to their surgery.
Physical Therapy sessions and lunches are held in our Activity Room where patients lend each other support, motivation, and friendship. To thank our patients for selecting our Joint Replacement Center and to celebrate their recovery, we provide a gourmet meal for the patient and a guest the night before being discharged. On the day of discharge, the patients are provided a complimentary shampoo and style and receive a special gift from their orthopedic surgeon. We have a portable putting green for those avid golfers who can't wait to hit the greens again and movies for those who need a quiet retreat. Whatever your needs, our specially trained Joint Replacement Center staff is sure to provide them.
