Joint Replacement is one of the most common and successful surgeries with over 800,000 performed each year. Most patients can expect reduced or eliminated pain and improved range of motion which enables them to and get back to all their favorite activities.

Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas offers total joint replacement for knees, hips and shoulders as well as partial replacement and resurfacing for hips and knees. Our team is among the first to get new devices and use the latest techniques and consistently work to move forward orthopaedic care through research and education.  In fact, one of our surgeons, Brian Burnikel, was one the first to utilize the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, an alternative to total hip replacement. (see Hip Resurfacing section for more information)

We've partnered with Greenville Hospital System to develop the Joint Replacement Program located at the incredible Patewood Memorial Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility that offers unmatched technological innovations in luxurious surroundings, fondly referred to as the "hospital of the future".
