Joint Replacement
At Medical Center Enterprise, we care for the parts that keep you moving. When a bone, tendon or joint doesn't work like it's supposed to, we offer a range of orthopedic services to help get you back to the life you enjoy.
The orthopedic specialists at Medical Center Enterprise offer multidisciplinary care in an environment where patients come first.
Advances in medical technology have made joint replacement therapy an effective option to treat chronic joint pain from arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases or injury. The multidisciplinary orthopedic care team at Medical Center Enterprise includes orthopedic doctors, surgeons, pain management specialists and physical therapists who provide care. We offer:
- Total joint replacement for knees and hips
- Partial knee replacement
- Alternative treatments for arthritis
- Osteoarthritis treatments for the hip and knee
Part of joint replacement care includes preparing patients properly before surgery, as well as helping them recover their mobility. You'll know what to expect before, during and after surgery. Orthopedic care professionals are focused on providing quality care from diagnosis through recovery.
Total Hip and Knee Replacement
A total hip or knee replacement is a surgical procedure where the worn out surfaces of the joint are replaced with man-made components. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the bones can wear away, cause pain and discomfort, and make simple pleasures like walking and shopping unbearable. The procedure can reduce or eliminate pain, allow easier movement and get you back to an active lifestyle.
Hip or knee replacement surgery may be considered for those suffering from arthritic pain that severely limits the activities of daily living. It is only recommended after careful examination and diagnosis of your particular joint problem, and only after more conservative measures such as exercise, physical therapy and medications have proven ineffective.
There are many kinds and designs of implants available today, and no single design or type is best for every patient or their particular situation. Each surgeon selects the implant that they believe is best for their patient's needs based on a number of factors including age, activity level, the implant's track record and his or her comfort with the instruments associated with the particular implant. If you have specific questions regarding implants, your surgeon will be happy to answer them for you.
We hold seminars throughout the year on the most common causes and treatment options for knee and hip pain. You'll learn about the top things you can do for arthritis, as well as information on medications and diet and exercise tips.
