Joint Replacement and Reconstructin
|

|
Our physicians that perform joint reconstruction surgery have particular expertise
in the operating room. If it is at all possible, they prefer non-surgical
solutions. If surgery is the right solution, the Human Motion Institute
physicians have the training and skill you can trust.
Taking care of a severely injured or diseased joint is more than
applying state-of-the-art surgical techniques. It is the skilled hands-on
evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determines the best
overall plan of care, remembering of course, that we are not treating a
joint, but a human being.
Today, Americans are enjoying longer, more active lives than in any
time in history. Yet, as we age our bodies change and a lifetime of activity
and occasional abuse takes its toll on everyone. Sometimes those changes
result in specific problems related to joints and muscles. Painful, stiff
joints can become lifestyle altering and prevent many individuals from
participating in the daily activities they enjoy. At the Human Motion Center,
we apply our clinical expertise to establish an accurate diagnosis quickly
and develop a plan of care that fits the needs of each patient suffering
from joint pain or discomfort.
It is our practice to exhaust every appropriate treatment option
before considering surgery. However, if and when a surgical procedure becomes
the right choice, our team of specialists is trained to correct problems
related to joint pain. Our Joint Care continuum of care approach to joint
surgery produces outstanding clinical and patient satisfaction results.
This integrated approach enables our clinical team to properly evaluate
a patient's condition and prepare each patient mentally and physically
for their procedure, then we continuously monitor and manage their entire
pre- and post-surgical performance and progress. This full-service approach,
which integrates the patient's primary care physician and surgeon with
a host of clinical support staff, is designed to return our patients to
maximum function as quickly and safely as possible. Our surgical team has
the ability to replace all major joints.
