The Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute (CJRI) at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center is the largest Joint Replacement Center in the state and the 7th largest joint replacement center in the country, by volume.
A "hospital in the hospital," the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute is comprised of leading-edge orthopedic surgeons who are fellowship-trained and nationally recognized as experts in the field of joint replacement.
What Sets CJRI Apart:
- Board-certified, orthopedic-trained surgeons
- Multidisciplinary team working together to provide expert care for patients needing joint replacement procedures
- Pre-Assessment Surgical Screening Center to ensure medical issues have been identified and addressed prior to surgery
- Weekly multidisciplinary patient education preoperative classes
CJRI is located in a state-of-the-art facility which offers leading technology, a robust research department, 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.
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
- Two post-acute patient floors
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.
