The Joint Replacement Institute of Tri-County Orthopedics Celebrates 1,000th Joint Replacement

The joint specialists at Tri-County Orthopedics are celebrating their 1,000th outpatient joint replacement milestone at The Joint Replacement Institute, located in Bridgewater at 1081 Route 22 W., Suite 200. This milestone comes after less than two years of operation. Patients experiencing chronic joint pain are encouraged to call 973-538-2334 to schedule an appointment with one of the total joint care experts at Tri-County Orthopedics at one of their office locations in Cedar Knolls, Jefferson, Bedminster or Bridgewater.

The Joint Replacement Institute is the only freestanding ambulatory surgery center in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania or Connecticut that is dedicated to exclusively performing hip and knee replacements. The institute is led by regional leaders in outpatient joint replacement, including fellowship-trained, board-certified hip and knee replacement specialists Dr. John Dundon, Dr. Aaron Forbes, Dr. Robert Goldman and Dr. Paul Lombardi. These joint replacement experts have vast skills and expertise to provide a variety of surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. This includes offering same-day hip, knee and shoulder replacements. Additionally, Dr. Lombardi is one of only a few surgeons in the country who performs outpatient hip resurfacing, a minimally invasive alternative to total hip replacement.

In addition to relieving the daily symptoms of severe joint damage from arthritis, outpatient joint replacement at The Joint Replacement Institute offers patients a number of benefits, including:

• For most patients, the ability to go home the same day your surgery is performed.
• Lower cost compared to traditional joint replacement surgery.
• Reduced risk of infection when performed in an ambulatory surgery center.
• The ability to recover from the comfort of your own home.

“We’re so excited to celebrate our 1,000th total joint replacement at The Joint Replacement Institute,” said Dr. Lombardi, Tri-County Orthopedics practice president as well as co-founder and medical director of The Joint Replacement Institute. “We took a two-room pain management center and converted it into a state-of-the-art total joint replacement surgery center 18 months ago. This amazing accomplishment means we’ve been able to touch so many lives in such a short time, and we look forward to a long future of doing so for our community.”
