Atención ortopédica
Los médicos ortopédicos, llamados ortopedistas, brindan atención para los huesos y las articulaciones. Esto incluye dolor de rodilla, reemplazo total de la articulación, problemas que afectan la columna vertebral, entre otros. Es posible que deba visitar a un ortopedista si tiene artritis u osteoporosis, o si recientemente ha sufrido un esguince, una torcedura o una fractura de hueso.
Cirugías ortopédicas que ofrecemos
Si tiene una afección de salud que afecta sus huesos, articulaciones, músculos o tendones, es importante buscar atención de alta calidad antes de que el problema empeore.
Hip replacement surgery
If your hip joint is causing you significant pain and limiting your ability to move, you may be a candidate for a hip replacement. We offer both minimally invasive and traditional hip replacement options, depending on your health and damage to the joint.
A minimally invasive technique allows your surgeon to use the anterior approach, which accesses the hip joint from the front of the hip. This technique may even enable you to walk the same day of surgery.
Assessing your bone and joint health
When something is wrong with your bones or joints, it can be painful and debilitating. We offer a quick knee health risk assessment and hip health risk assessment to help you get started on a path to recovery and wellness.
Hip resurfacing
As an alternative to total hip replacement, this procedure only replaces a few millimeters of the joint's surface. It preserves more of the bone, and it's often effective for active adults who are 60 years old and younger.
Knee replacement surgery
We offer various knee replacement options to help treat damage to the knee due to arthritis, injury or wear and tear. Our joint replacement surgeons offer:
- Gender-specific implants
- Partial knee replacement
- Total knee replacement
Shoulder surgery
Our experienced surgeons offer several types of surgery to repair or replace the shoulder joint, including:
- Arthroscopy
- Rotator cuff repair
- Total shoulder replacement
Foot and ankle surgery
We offer advanced foot and ankle procedures and treatments to help restore your movement and relieve pain. Treatment options we offer include:
- Cartilage restoration and joint preservation
- Deformity correction and reconstruction
- Total ankle replacement
- Wound decompression and limb salvage
Hand surgery
Conditions that affect the hand require special attention to detail. Our skilled hand specialists can help restore functionality, sensation and movement through the following procedures:
- Carpal tunnel release
- Nerve repair and reconstruction
Preoperative education for orthopedic surgery
To help you feel as prepared as possible for your joint replacement and spine surgery, we offer a preoperative education class. During the class, a physical therapist will cover topics such as:
- What to expect before, during and after orthopedic surgery
- What to do for the best possible outcome after surgery, including having a "coach" and being committed to physical therapy
Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement CJR
We participate in Medicare’s Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program which promotes high-quality, cost-efficient and better coordination of care for hip and knee replacement surgery. We work closely with its physicians and post-acute care providers to improve quality and coordinate care from initial hospitalization through recovery. The CJR program permits facilities to enter into financial gainsharing relationships with its collaborators to share in the success of the program.
The written policy for selecting CJR Collaborators is available for download here.
