The Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at Saint Francis

Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center is proud to offer patients a dedicated, comprehensive joint replacement service which has performed over 2,700 joint replacement surgeries in its first year.

A "hospital in the hospital", the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at Saint Francis (CJRI), is comprised of leading-edge orthopedic surgeons who are fellowship-trained and nationally recognized as experts in the field of joint replacement.

Given the aging baby boomer generation, the need for joint replacement procedures is expected to substantially grow nationwide by 2030. It is estimated that the total number of primary total hip replacements will grow by 174 percent to 572,000 procedures a year. The total number of primary knee replacements is predicted to soar by 673 percent, to 3.48 million surgeries.

Dedicated areas have been designated to accommodate this growing demand for joint replacement surgeries. The facility consists of six operating rooms, a pre-op prep and recovery area, a registration/waiting area, and two post-acute patient floors.

In a state-of-the-art facility which offers leading technology and minimally invasive treatments, our staff of experienced surgeons, nurses, and therapists work together to provide expert care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions needing joint replacement procedures.

As surgical techniques continue to evolve, our surgeons remain at the innovative edge, developing research and performing surgeries that cause fewer complications and ultimately create a healthier quality of life.
