Hip Replacement Surgery in Rhode Island: What to Know
Rhode Island offers excellent options for hip replacement surgery. The Miriam Hospital in Providence is recognized as the region's highest volume center for total joint replacement, ranking among the best nationally for clinical outcomes. Newport Hospital's Total Joint Replacement program is a Blue Distinction Center for excellence. Furthermore, Ortho Rhode Island, a leader in robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, has performed over 20,000 robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements, with their surgeons being the first in Rhode Island to utilize Mako robotic-assisted technology.
For potential savings, consider facilities like the Ortho RI Surgery Center, an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), which offers total hip replacement as an outpatient procedure. This can be significantly less expensive than hospital-based surgery while maintaining comparable outcomes. University Orthopedics also provides direct anterior minimally invasive total hip replacement, a muscle-sparing technique. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
