Cirugía ortopédica
Estamos orgullosos de ofrecer una amplia gama de soluciones quirúrgicas ortopédicas a la comunidad de South Tampa, incluidas las siguientes:
Arthroscopic surgery
We perform arthroscopic surgery to evaluate and repair ligament, cartilage and tendon injuries. During an arthroscopy, your surgeon will make small incisions and use an arthroscope to perform the procedure.
Joint surgery
If you are experiencing joint pain, we take the time to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan for you. In some cases, that may involve joint replacement surgery. Our experienced surgeons provide the following joint replacement procedures:
- Partial knee replacement
- Total knee replacement
- Total hip replacement
- Shoulder replacement, including the reverse shoulder procedure
Robotic joint replacement surgery
Our hospital is proud to provide orthopedic surgery using robot-assisted technology. Specifically, we offer robot-assisted surgery for total hip, partial knee and total knee replacements. This technology improves surgical precision and helps position the implant during preoperative planning.
Preoperative education for total joint replacement
We offer pre-admission testing and one-on-one support to help you feel as prepared as possible for your procedure. Prior to your joint replacement surgery, our nurse navigator will sit down with you and explain the preoperative, surgical and postoperative processes to you. After meeting with the nurse navigator, you will meet with your anesthesiologist, where you will have time to ask questions or raise concerns.
Robot-assisted spine surgery
The spine provides crucial support for our bodies. When a problem occurs with the spine, it can cause chronic pain and difficulties in carrying out daily tasks.
In certain cases, the best treatment for a spine condition is surgery. Our spine surgeons are highly trained in advanced procedures to help ease pain and treat a variety of conditions.
Additionally, we are equipped to provide robot-assisted spine surgery. Our robotic surgery system enables our surgeons to take advantage of preoperative planning and allows increased dexterity, which is especially helpful when dealing with the spine's complex nature.
Orthopedic rehabilitation
Physical therapy and rehabilitation is a key component to a full recovery after an orthopedic injury or surgery. Our physical therapists offer personalized inpatient care in which we create a unique rehabilitative care plan designed to help you heal as quickly and safely as possible.
