Led
by an expert group of board-certified orthopedic surgeons, Mount Carmel's total joint replacement team also includes orthopedic
nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists who specialize in providing
comprehensive services for patients from across the country who need joint
replacements.
Depending
on the patient's age, lifestyle and activity level, our physicians carefully
select the most appropriate surgery and implant. Our surgeons have experience
with advanced technologies and procedures, including total knee, hip, shoulder
and elbow replacements, unicompartmental
knee surgery and hip resurfacing surgery. In fact, Mount Carmel surgeons
perform more joint replacement procedures than any other hospital system in Columbus. Our surgeons
also participate in cutting-edge research on hip replacement techniques and
technologies.
Mount Carmel's total joint
replacement program includes pre-operative education and comprehensive
postoperative rehabilitation to help restore function, mobility and strength to
the affected joint.
For
patients requiring a second joint replacement, also called a revision, our
specialists – including revision specialists – are skilled and experienced in
the procedure.
