The Joint Replacement Center at Maine Medical Center

The Joint Replacement Center at Maine Medical Center is Maine's leader in anterolateral approach total hip, posterior approach total hip, minimally invasive total knee, traditional knee, and shoulder replacement surgery. Our experienced team of caregivers work together to ensure a patient care plan is specific to the needs of each patient. Our team consists of Board certified orthopedic surgeons, Board certified anesthesiologists, Magnet nurses and rehabilitation specialists. Our surgeons perform more than 1,500 joint replacement surgeries each year - giving Maine Medical Center the highest volume of joint replacement surgeries in Maine.

Our program has a highly informative patient education component for patients who have decided to have surgery, informing them on what to expect and how to plan. An informed patient is more likely to have the best outcomes because they are well-prepared both before and after surgery. For individuals who are still considering surgery, we encourage you to learn about joint replacement surgery on our site and to consult with one of the practices we work with to decide if joint replacement surgery is right for you.

The Joint Replacement Center is also equipped with a rehabilitation therapy gym, complete with an automobile prototype, stairs, and a tub. Our goal is to get patients back to daily living as quickly and as comfortably as possible, and the therapy gym is a great asset to help achieve this goal.
