Baptist Orthopaedic Center

Since 2007, patients and families in Corbin have looked to Baptist Health Corbin's Orthopaedic Center of Excellence to help address problems of the musculoskeletal system, including arthritis and joint replacement. Using the latest techniques and treatments, surgeons perform more total joint replacement procedures, including knee and hip replacements, than any other hospital in Southeastern Kentucky.

PATIENT EDUCATION PRIOR TO ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

A room within the hospital has been set aside for orthopedic education and patient services, so patients know exactly what to expect.  Patients will receive a 55-page booklet which will explain their surgery, its effects and exercises they can do to help heal.
