Joint Replacement and Reconstruction
Your guides through the surgery process
When conservative treatments like medication and physical therapy have
failed, it’s time to finally consider joint replacement surgery
as a treatment for your joint pain. Joint pain is a common problem for
people worldwide. In many cases, the pain is temporary or can be adequately
managed with nonsurgical treatments. However, joint pain typically worsens
as people get older, and eventually, surgery will be necessary.
The two main surgical options for joint pain are joint replacement and
joint reconstruction. A joint reconstruction surgery is generally recommended
when only a portion of the joint or tissue is damaged and can be easily
removed or repaired. For patients with more severe cases, total joint
replacement may be the best option.
We Offer Minimally Invasive Procedures
The less strain your body goes through during surgery, the easier it will
be for you to recover. Minimally invasive surgeries are an innovative
approach to operations that use smaller incisions than traditional open
surgery. This is accomplished by using state-of-the-art technology that
allows our surgeons to observe the surgical area through small cameras
that can be inserted through a small incision, rather than making large
cuts to view the entire area. These cameras are equipped with small tools
that can remove tissue and bone, and assist with much of the manual work.
Operations offered at Methodist Orthopaedic Surgical Associates include:
- Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement
- Computer Assisted Hip & Knee Joint Replacement
- Total Hip Replacement
- Total Knee Replacement
- Unicondylar (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
- Revision Knee Replacement
- Revision Hip Replacement
Here for You Through Recovery
We are one of the oldest orthopaedic practice in Dallas, having served
the North Texas community for more than 35 years. Our experienced surgeons
know that a patient’s journey isn’t over once the surgery
is completed. Most patients will need to participate in physical therapy
as they recover from and adjust to their new joint. We make sure that
our patients have access to all the resources they need to make a complete
recovery. If you ever have questions or concerns, you can reach out to
us for help.
