• Wound Care
  When you are discharged from the hospital you will receive detailed information about wound care, medications including pain medicines and physical therapy including exercises you will do on your own on days the physical therapist does not visit. We also include information on other frequently asked questions concerning your follow-up care after discharge.
• Joint Replacement
  You’ll recover in our surgery suite until you are awake from the anesthesia and your vital signs are good. Our Care Team members will then move you to our Joint Replacement Center where you will stay until you are discharged.
• Orthopedic Surgery
• Hip Replacement
  When possible the anterior approach is my preferred option for a total hip replacement. The surgery is done from in front of the hip rather than in the side or back, like in traditional hip replacements. This surgery may also be called mini, modified, minimally invasive, or muscle-sparing surgeries.
• Knee Replacement
  Partial knee replacement is available for patients when only one compartment of the knee is damaged typically from arthritis. Arthritis in the knee joint occurs as a result of degeneration of the cartilage in your knee commonly referred to as “wear and tear” arthritis or degenerative arthritis. This means there is no cushion between the knee joints  which now are bone on bone with the nerve endings on the bones causing your pain.
