When Joint Replacement is a Question, All Saints Orthopedic Experts Are the Answer

 

When cartilage in a joint becomes damaged by disease or injury, the tissues around the joint become inflamed, causing pain and the breakdown of healthy tissue. As this continues over time, joint replacement may be helpful. Replacing a diseased joint with an artificial joint can dramatically relieve pain and return you to enjoying your usual, everyday activities.

At All Saints, our orthopedic surgeons offer the latest options available for joint replacement surgery. All Saints is proud to be ranked in the Top 10% in the Nation for Joint Replacement in 2011 by HealthGrades®, the leading independent health care ratings organization.

Many of our joint replacement procedures are performed at All Saints using minimally invasive techniques. Using tiny incisions and state-of-the-art technology, our orthopedic surgeons can replace a joint quickly, with less muscle involvement. That means a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and quicker recovery. Also, the new joints currently available last longer and can be customized to your body size, gender and expected activity level.

After surgery, you may benefit from Joint Camp, a special, free education program for patients having hip or knee replacement surgery at All Saints. Learn more.
