Orthopedic Treatments We Offer

As leaders in orthopedic care, we provide nonsurgical options and surgical treatments. Our team customizes a treatment plan just for you based on several factors, including your health, lifestyle, and goals.

We may recommend a cast, brace, or splint to treat injuries like sprains and fractures. If surgical repair is necessary, we specialize in procedures to help treat injuries that result from accidents and overuse.

Orthopedic surgeons at Methodist Dallas are also skilled at minimally invasive hip replacement and knee replacement procedures. If you need a joint replacement, you can expect consistent care and comprehensive support to help you heal following the procedure.

Robotic-assisted, minimally invasive joint replacement surgery

Orthopedic surgeons at Methodist Dallas have specialized experience performing joint replacements with robotic-assisted techniques. We use the Mako SmartRobotics™ surgical system for knee and hip replacement procedures.

During a robotic-assisted procedure, the surgeon controls tiny surgical tools using a robot. The robot enables the surgeon to be more precise.

With this advanced technology, surgeons replace hip and knee joints through smaller incisions than standard joint replacement procedures. We also use the Mako system to plan surgical procedures, so they are more accurate. These techniques have a lower risk of complications, involve less pain, and typically require a shorter recovery period.

The orthopedic team at Methodist Dallas includes orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, advance practice providers, and experienced nurses. We come together to focus on your well-being and coordinate your care. Following surgery or after an injury, you’ll receive comprehensive support services to help you heal.

Your care team may include physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs). These rehabilitation specialists create customized therapy plans based on your health and lifestyle. Our team approach means you receive care from several specialists working together to help maximize your mobility and speed your recovery.
