Total Joint Replacement
You don’t have to live with severe joint pain and the limitations it creates in your life. In fact, there are many treatment options available at United Regional for this condition. And for those who don’t experience adequate relief with medication and other non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy or injections, joint replacement surgery can reduce your pain and increase joint function, helping you to return to the activities you once enjoyed.

Surgical Navigation System is the Standard of Care
Just as a GPS can guide a driver to a precise location, the computer-assisted navigation system helps orthopedic surgeons more accurately align implants and proper ligament balancing, which are essential for the artificial hip joint and knee joint stability, durability and sufficient range of motion.
The navigation system uses an infrared camera and instruments along with unique tracking software to continually monitor the position and alignment of the implant components in relation to the patient’s anatomy. The computer analyzes and displays data on a monitor which shows the angles, lines and measurements needed to more accurately align the prosthetic joint with the patient. |
