Welcome to the Center for Total Joint Replacement
The Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) Center for Total Joint Replacement works to provide excellent, comprehensive and personal care to patients who need joint replacement surgery, from the first consultation to the last post-operative visit.
About the Center
We offer hip, knee, elbow, and shoulder replacement, as well as "revision" operations. These are procedures to replace old artificial joints that no longer work well with newer joints.
The Center for Total Joint Replacement is part of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, one of the largest and most respected multispecialty groups in California. PAMF offers state-of-the-art technology, including an electronic health record that our physicians can access from anyplace they provide care.
