Orthopedic Treatments We Offer

At Methodist Richardson, our goal is to help minimize pain, increase mobility, and improve your quality of life. Experienced orthopedic specialists provide conservative treatments when possible and recommend surgical intervention when other options aren’t effective.

We offer a wide range of nonsurgical and surgical treatments, including:

  • Casting and splinting for broken bones
  • Corticosteroid injections for inflammation and pain
  • Surgery to realign bones and reconstruct ligaments
  • Joint repair, reconstruction, and replacement (hip, knee, elbow, wrist, and shoulder)
  • Physical therapy and occupational therapy to strengthen muscles

Mako SmartRobotics Surgical Arm for Greater Accuracy and Precision

The team of orthopedic surgeons at Methodist Richardson uses the Mako SmartRobotics surgical arm to perform hip and knee joint replacement surgery. Robotic assistance allows our surgeons to place your joint implant with more accuracy and use smaller incisions. This innovative technology has many benefits when compared to traditional open surgical techniques, such as reduced pain and recovery time.

Advanced Certification for Hip and Knee Replacement

We are proud recipients of the Joint Commission Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Knee Replacement (THKR). This certification highlights our dedication to helping you achieve the best possible outcome through coordinated care. From preoperative consultation to physical therapy and follow-up, our care teams work seamlessly to get you back on your feet.

OrthoCare joint replacement education and support

At Methodist Richardson, we’re committed to helping you succeed after your joint replacement surgery. That’s why we encourage you to take an active role in your recovery through The Joint Academy and Vox OrthoCare.

These free educational, support programs are self-paced and designed to guide you through every step of your joint replacement journey. You’ll find valuable information to help you prepare for surgery and learn what to expect for recovery.

Physical and Occupational Therapy for Optimal Recovery

Physical therapy and occupational therapy are an important part of treatment and recovery because they help you regain your independence. Our therapists work with you to create a personalized plan based on your unique diagnosis, injuries, and health history.

You may need physical or occupational therapy if you:

  • Are preparing for or recovering from surgery
  • Develop an overuse injury, like shin splints or jumper’s knee
  • Experience a sudden injury, like a sprain or a strain
  • Have difficulty with daily activities due to chronic pain
