Hip Replacement Surgery in Utah: What to Know

Utah offers exceptional hip replacement options. University of Utah Health Orthopaedics, recognized as a High Performing Hospital by U.S. News & World Report, boasts the most experienced specialists in the Mountain West. St. George Regional Hospital received the Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ in 2024, while Lakeview Hospital was a Healthgrades Top 100 for Joint Replacement for six consecutive years. Patients even travel from Canada for advanced robotic and direct anterior approach hip replacements, which may not be readily available elsewhere.

For potentially lower costs, consider Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) like St. George Surgical Center, which offers minimally invasive techniques and a 23-hour overnight stay facility. Outpatient joint replacements at ASCs can be significantly more affordable than hospital procedures, often with comparable outcomes. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
