California has 13 hospitals on Healthgrades’ list of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Joint Replacement, which recognizes inpatient care, the most of any state. Florida and New York follow with 12 each, and Texas has nine.
Sixty-five hospitals have made the list three years running, and 21 hospitals were on neither the 2025 nor the 2026 list. Healthgrades announced its 2027 Specialty Excellence Awards Oct. 27.
Healthgrades ranked the top 100 hospitals based on in-hospital complication rates for total knee and hip replacement among Medicare inpatients from 2023 through 2025. Healthgrades recognizes outpatient joint replacement performance in a separate award. Read the full methodology here.
