Learn why so many people across California and beyond trust us to perform their joint replacement surgery. And learn how the care we provide inspires health, wholeness and hope.
Safe, sophisticated joint replacement procedures
Joint replacement surgery used to involve long hospital stays and recovery times. Today, it’s safer and less invasive than ever before, with minimal down time. Groundbreaking advances in implant design, surgical techniques and robotic technology have transformed the experience.
Many of those breakthroughs have been pioneered and perfected right here at the Coon Joint Replacement Institute. These innovations include MAKOplasty® partial and total knee replacements. Our orthopedic surgeons are often among the first in the region or U.S. to offer the latest evidence-based procedures.
