Joint Replacement Centre

The Joint Replacement Centre (JRC) of the New Territories East Cluster (NTEC), located at Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital (AHNH), is the fourth joint replacement centre under the Hospital Authority established on 1 October 2015. The center offers joint preservation treatment to patients with the aim of alleviating their symptoms and maximizing functionality, thereby avoiding or delaying the need for joint replacement surgery. The centre also offers a range of surgical treatments, including hip replacement, total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, bilateral knee replacement, and high tibial osteotomy. To enhance surgical precision, the center has introduced medical robotic arm technology, thus reducing surgical risks and shortening postoperative recovery time.

To further enhance the quality of care, the centre has set up a joint replacement nurse clinic, providing pre-operative and post-operative care to ensure optimal treatment outcomes throughout the surgical process. Moreover, the centre is innovative and makes use of information technology to improve the quality of life for patients with hip and knee arthritis. The mobile app, “JR care”, developed with our hospital’s participation, allows patients to create personal electronic joint replacement records and promote home rehabilitation exercises, enhancing patient satisfaction and recovery outcomes.
