Procedures

Certification Means High-Quality Orthopedic Care

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital holds certification in hip replacement and knee replacement from The Joint Commission, the largest independent healthcare accrediting agency in the United States. That means we follow strict guidelines to help you stay safe and experience the best possible outcome of surgery.

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital has also earned "High Performing" ratings from U.S. News for hip replacement and knee replacement procedures.

Shoulder Replacement

Take advantage of traditional shoulder replacement or reverse shoulder replacement at Owensboro Health. You may benefit from reverse shoulder replacement if your rotator cuff has torn, or a previous shoulder replacement didn’t help you. Reverse shoulder replacement switches the position of the joint’s ball and socket, so you can lift your arm by using the deltoid muscle instead of the damaged rotator cuff. As you recover from orthopedic surgery, you’ll likely be able to reach higher and more comfortably.
