Hip Replacement Surgery in Virginia: What to Know
Virginia offers robust options for hip replacement surgery. Carilion Clinic in Southwest Virginia, with the state's largest orthopedic program, holds The Joint Commission's Gold Seal and a "high performing" designation from U.S. News & World Report for hip replacements, placing it in the top 10% nationally. They were also first in their area to offer the less invasive anterior approach. Similarly, UVA Medical Center's hip replacement care is rated "high performing."

For cost savings, consider Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) in Virginia, which can offer significantly lower prices—approximately 40% less than hospitals—with comparable outcomes.
