Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Our orthopedic treatments and services
Our surgeons will pursue the least invasive path to restoring your bone and joint health.
Orthopedic surgery
Our orthopedic surgical specialties include:
- Adult joint reconstruction (hip, shoulder and knee replacements)
- Hand and upper extremity care
- Orthopedic care
- Spine care
Advanced robot-assisted surgery
Our orthopedic team wants your recovery to be as quick as possible. Whenever it is an option, we will recommend a robotic approach to surgery.
Benefits associated with robotic surgery include:
- Faster recovery
- Less tissue trauma
- Minimal scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
- Smaller incisions
How does robot-assisted joint surgery work?
Our robotic arm software uses an imaging scan to create a 3D model of your unique joint. This model allows the surgeon to develop your personalized surgery plan. During surgery, the surgeon controls the robotic arm, allowing us to precisely position the implant, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
We offer robot-assisted surgery for:
- Partial knee replacements
- Total knee replacements
- Total hip replacements
Joint replacement surgery
The goal of joint replacement surgery is to provide a pain-free hip, knee or shoulder that will last as long as possible and allow you to enjoy a normal lifestyle. Most hip and knee replacements performed today should last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Through our joint center, you will have access to:
- Experienced orthopedic surgeons
- Orthopedic therapists
- Specially trained nurses and technicians
Orthopedic rehabilitation
Following surgery, you will participate in our coordinated, multidisciplinary physical therapy program. Our innovative regimen focuses on helping you regain maximum mobility with the ultimate goal of returning to an active lifestyle. Patient education and personal interaction with our staff are our priorities throughout your stay.
Family members are encouraged to participate with you in the recovery process by learning about special exercises, medications and follow-up care to help make the transition home a smooth one. Some exercise and therapy may be provided in a group setting, allowing our patients to support and encourage each other on the road to recovery.
