When Every Movement is a Struggle…It's Time to Seek HELP

If pain in your knees or hips causes you to struggle with even simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, sitting or standing, The Methodist Hospitals Center for Hip and Knee Surgery can help. Whether your joint pain and stiffness result from arthritis, trauma or joint disease, we offer effective3 and appropriate treatments that are focused on relieving pain and restoring your mobility and ability to resume your normal activities as much as is possible for you.

At The Methodist Hospitals Center for Hip and Knee Surgery, we have committed the highest quality resources to the care and repair of major joints. Our team of highly skilled doctors and healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping individuals resume their normal activities without debilitating joint pain.

The Orthopedic Team Advantage

Led by the expertise and experience of our orthopedic surgeons, our specialized team of orthopedic nurses and therapists provides an environment specially designed for joint replacement patients with a focus on education, individual therapy and family participation, in an effort to encourage rapid recovery and return to home.

Every patient is assigned to a care coordinator who provides direction through the process from pre-admission testing to education, through surgery and rehabilitation. This personalized approach is designed to help patients reach their goals for recovery in a more efficient and effective manner.

Education is an important part of the patient's experience at the Center for Hip and Knee Surgery. Before each surgery each patient receives training and views a video about his or her diagnosis and the joint replacement procedure so they know what to expect and how to prepare for their surgery.

Once the surgery has been completed, the team of nurses and therapists assists patients in reaching their goals to regain their strength and mobility for living as independently as possible. The care coordinator will assist each patient and their family with any needs they may have related to discharge.
