The Joint Replacement Center Difference
We guide you through the entire process before and after surgery, even after you leave the hospital – no question is left unanswered, nothing is left to chance, everything is planned for and taken care of in advance. You learn the best way to obtain the most successful hip or knee replacement. This process is fully explained in our “Be Joint Smart” section.
Our orthopedic surgeons have received additional, specialized training in minimally-invasive hip and knee replacement surgical techniques. This minimally-invasive approach results in smaller incisions, less trauma to surrounding tissue, smaller scars, faster healing and recovery, and less discomfort for you.
We generally perform our total hip replacement surgeries using an anterior approach, which also results in less surrounding tissue trauma and faster healing.
We use a leading-edge computer navigation system to help ensure optimum anatomical alignment during all joint replacement procedures.
The joint-replacement materials we use in our hip and knee replacement surgeries have been shown to offer greatest safety, reliability and long-term durability.
We take an evidence-based approach to all orthopedic procedures – we learn about what really works and apply it actively in our total treatment of hip and knee problems. The bottom line is the doctors affiliated with Seton Medical Center take the time to research the latest available techniques and technologies, and the best possible outcome for you – the patient.
