Getting you back on your feet fast
Virtua is a leader in minimally-invasive, same-day total knee replacements. We’re one of only a few hospitals in the country that offers such a procedure. Instead of spending days in the hospital, we’ll have you on your feet a few hours after surgery so the rehabilitation process actually starts before you leave our facility.
And while not all types of surgery will have you back home the same day of your surgery, Virtua’s orthopedic team use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible so you experience as little discomfort as possible.
If your surgery requires a hospital stay, there are dedicated orthopedic units at Virtua Marlton and Virtua Memorial that are staffed by nurses with additional training in the type of care you’ll need.
Physical therapy is also provided right on these orthopedic units. Of course, our patients aren’t the only ones who’ve taken note of the high quality of orthopedic care we provide.
Virtua was the first healthcare organization in the Northeastern United States to earn certification from the Joint Commission for its care and treatment of patients needing total joint replacements.
