Joint Replacement Surgery

Have arthritis or injuries caused even your everyday activities to be painful? Do medicine and walking supports no longer help the problem?

Depending on your age, activity level, and the degree of pain and disability you are experiencing, you and your doctor may want to discuss joint replacement surgery at Baton Rouge General.

We offer free educational classes before procedures for joint replacement patients and their families. Our Joint Success Seminar will help you learn exactly what to expect from surgery, issues that may arise after surgery, the care options along the way, and it will give you the opportunity to meet the care team members who will be working with you during your stay.

When you talk to our care team, ask about our Comfort Night service for an opportunity to experience a calm, stress-free environment the night before your procedure, or click here if you are interested in staying close to campus.
