Continuum of care

Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Services work hand in hand to provide a full continuum of care, and our health seminars are a fantastic way to start the conversation early and ensure your needs are met. We also provide pre-surgery classes to guide and prepare the patient for surgery, as well as pre-operative exercise classes and post-surgery rehabilitation to facilitate improved function.

Care Plan

The team uses a special care plan specifically for joint-replacement patients. Every aspect of a patient’s care, from pre-admission and surgery to inpatient recovery and outpatient rehabilitation, is carefully planned and coordinated to ensure the best patient outcomes. Education and preparation before surgery will help set expectations and prepare patients for a smooth discharge, helping them get back to a normal routine.

Coordinated care

During treatment, you may have many providers working to help you get better. Our navigators will coordinate your care, beginning with diagnosis and continuing with treatment and recovery. We create a comprehensive treatment plan that is personalized and based on your health and wellness needs.

Knee replacement

A knee replacement (also called knee arthroplasty) might be more accurately termed a knee “resurfacing” because only the surface of the bone is actually replaced. This provides a smooth and low friction condition in which knee pain and stiffness are relieved and function is restored.

Free Orthopedic Health Seminars

We designed seminars for individuals considering joint replacement that spotlight degenerative joint pain and how joint replacement can be a safe and reliable option to restore an individual’s quality of life. If you don’t see an upcoming seminar on the events page of our website, please call our Orthopedics Clinic and ask.

Common Reasons for a Replacement

The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis. Although there are many types of arthritis, most knee pain is caused by just three types: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis.

Symptoms may include:

- Stiffness, particularly in the morning or after a period of increased activity
- Inability to move a joint normally or walk a reasonable distance
- Recurring pain or tenderness
- Difficulties with activities of daily living that require bending your knee or squatting
