Missing out because of Joint Pain? Our Experts can help.

The surgeons at UHealth Orthopedics — part of the University of Miami Health System — are experts in their field, who exclusively perform thousands of primary and complex joint replacements each year. Using the most advanced joint replacement approaches available, our experts deliver superior patient outcomes. Our innovative treatment options include minimally invasive hip replacement techniques, patient-specific knee replacements and traditional surgical procedures, all to help you recover faster, experience less post-surgical pain, regain bone and joint function, and enjoy a better quality of life for the long term.

Expert Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Replacement

We're the first hospital in Florida to use mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) for hip replacement surgery. MR has been proven to improve accuracy, leading to shorter recovery times.

UHealth's board-certified joint replacement surgeons use computer-assisted, robotic procedures to replace knees, hips, and shoulders. This minimally invasive approach results in a more precise alignment of joint prostheses and a faster, less painful recovery. For patients needing complex revision surgeries, ours is one of the only centers in South Florida that specializes in these challenging procedures, serving as a referral center for other institutions.

First access to Leading-Edge Treatment

With an academic-based approach to diagnosing and treating a variety of orthopedic conditions, UHealth Orthopaedics can offer our patients access to clinical trials with the most advanced treatments, and procedures that may not be available anywhere else.

Outpatient
Surgery

In most cases, UHealth's joint replacement experts can offer patients outpatient joint replacement surgery. Minimally invasive procedures lessen pain and accelerate recovery, translating into less time spent in the hospital.
