Top-flight orthopedic surgeons. Close to home. 

Each of the orthopedic surgeons at Blount Memorial Hospital is a specialist in giving people back their lives. If a sports-related injury puts you on the sidelines, Blount Memorial's orthopedic surgeons can provide expert treatment to get you back in the game.

What if an accident or on-the-job injury leaves you with a broken bone or torn cartilage? Or what if arthritis, advancing age or injury make it painful for you to walk? Or to play with your children or grandchildren, or to participate in any activities you enjoy? Our orthopedic surgeons can expertly replace faulty knees or hips with state-of-the-art artificial joints.

Total joint replacement decreases pain, improves function and dramatically enhances quality of life. After having a hip or knee replaced, individuals plagued by pain and unsteadiness often can return to pre-arthritis levels of activity.

Top-flight orthopedic surgeons on staff at Blount Memorial Hospital use the latest technology in joint replacement. Depending on the patient, either state-of-the-art cemented or non-cemented implants are used, both of which can last from 10 to 20 years.
