Our skilled orthopedic surgeons at Medical Center Health System use proven
diagnostic techniques and state-of-the-art technology to find the root
cause of your bone, tendon and muscle pain.. Whether you have a sports
injury, muscle tear, bone fracture, or general bone pain, we will assess
the source and extent of your pain and develop a detailed treatment plan
specifically for your orthopedic condition. All imaging studies (x-rays,
CT, MRI) will be reviewed by our orthopedic surgeons and your results
explained to determine what is causing your pain.
Orthopedic treatment always starts with the least invasive procedures.
In fact, many muscle, joint, and bone conditions are treatable with medication
and rest. If you need more extensive treatment, our team is prepared should
you need something more involved, such as surgery. Our facility is equipped
with advanced technology and staffed by highly experienced, board-certified
orthopedic surgeons capable of performing many surgical procedures, including
total joint replacement. Other common orthopedic surgeries include Arthroscopy
of Knee and Shoulder, ACL reconstruction, Rotator Cuff reconstruction
(Shoulder) and Meniscal repair/replacement.
MCH Joint Care Center
The Joint Care Center at MCH provides a pre-op teaching class for patients
scheduled for elective Hip or Knee replacement surgery. The one-hour class
is free and helps patients better understand what to expect before, during,
and after surgery. Pain management and how to care for yourself at home
are discussed at length. Past patients have said coming to our class helped
to manage their pain better and prepared them to recover faster. The classes
are held on Mondays at 2 p.m. in the 6 West therapy room.
