These self-pay total joint replacement procedures are performed in an outpatient orthopedic only Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), not in a hospital. In 2021, over 1,500 total joint replacements were performed at our ASC, the Specialists’ One-Day Surgery Center.

Outpatient joint replacements are safe and cost effective for appropriately selected patients. A majority of hip and knee replacement patients go home the same day as their surgery. Learn more about SOS’ Specialist’s One-Day Surgery Center.
