When that happens, you can rely on the skilled orthopedic specialists at Baxter Health to provide you with the care and assistance you need. Our orthopedic team includes some of the most well-trained and experienced orthopedists in the region. The level of personal attention they provide patients creates a comfortable relationship that makes it easy for patients to discuss their problems and find a solution.

Our joint replacement care team looks after patients through every stage of their operation, including the post-op rehabilitation phase.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur articulates with the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
The head of the femur and the socket are covered with a layer of smooth cartilage which cushions the joint, and allows the bones to move on each other with very little friction.
