Total Joint Reconstruction
Total joint reconstruction is often needed when nonsurgical interventions for a patient’s joint injury and pain are not working. This may be as a result of a traumatic injury, sports injury, or a chronic condition like osteoarthritis. When possible, our orthopedic specialists like to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures that allow our patients to get the care they need without unsightly scars or lengthy recovery periods.
We understand that your injury takes your time away from the things you enjoy most. That’s why our specialists are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality, minimally invasive surgical procedures, which include the following:
A direct anterior hip replacement, also commonly called a total hip replacement, can often be an overwhelming procedure to consider. However, a direct anterior hip replacement performed by our experienced board-certified orthopedic professionals is a minimally invasive procedure that avoids nearby muscles and tendons. Rather than a 12-inch incision made during traditional hip replacement surgery, our direct anterior hip replacement only requires a 3-4-inch incision. This makes for an effective, high-quality procedure with a shorter recovery period. With Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists, there’s no need to worry.
To learn more about your direct anterior hip replacement surgery, we encourage you to call our office at (210) 481-1700 to schedule your private consultation with one of our doctors. They’ll be happy to sit down with you, evaluate your condition, listen to your concerns, and develop a tailored treatment plan to help you get back to living a pain-free life.
A robotic-assisted and computer-navigated knee replacement allows our orthopedic specialists to carry out your procedure with great precision using minimally invasive techniques. At Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use Stryker Mako® machines for their computer-navigated and robotic-assisted procedures. By using the Stryker Mako machines, your orthopedic specialist can ensure you receive a highly personalized procedure developed for your specific anatomy and condition. This personalized treatment plan will likely begin with a CT scan of your knee, providing your surgeon with a 3D model of your treatment area. The robotic arm of the machine also aides our providers in preserving the ligaments and soft tissues around your knee throughout the replacement process.
To learn more about how you can benefit from robotic-assisted, computer-navigated knee replacement surgery, we encourage you to call our office at (210) 481-1700. One of our friendly staff members will be happy to help you schedule your one-on-one appointment with one of our orthopedic surgeons.
If you have arthritis and find that a portion of your knee is damaged by your condition, a partial knee replacement may be better suited for you than total knee replacement surgery. A partial knee replacement allows our patients to get the relief they desire while preserving healthy portions of their knee. At Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use Stryker Mako machines for their robotic-assisted and computer-navigated partial knee replacements. Before your partial knee replacement, a CT scan may be required to give our specialists a full, detailed view of your condition. From there, the robotic arm and computer system will help your surgeon carry out your partial knee replacement while preserving as much healthy bone and tissue as possible. With the use of the Stryker Mako machine, 9 out of 10 patients can walk without assistance just 3 weeks following their procedure.
To learn more about whether robotic-assisted, computer-navigated partial knee surgery is right for you and your condition, we encourage you to contact us at (210) 481-1700 and schedule your private appointment with one of our orthopedic specialists.
A total shoulder replacement is exactly what it sounds like – this procedure involves replacing the entire shoulder joint with artificial parts. A total shoulder replacement may be recommended for patients who have broken their shoulder or those who have arthritis that is affecting the function of the joint. While this surgery is slightly more invasive, patients can regain their full range of motion with the help of physical therapy.
To learn more about your total shoulder replacement surgery, call our office at (210) 481-1700. Our team members will be happy to schedule you for a private consultation with one of our board-certified orthopedic professionals.
A reverse shoulder replacement surgery differs from a traditional total shoulder replacement in that the ball and socket parts of the shoulder structure are reversed. This technique may be necessary for patients with arthritis who have significant deterioration of their ball and socket joint, or for patients who have experienced cuff tear arthropathy. This procedure is performed by our board-certified orthopedic professionals as needed, on a case-by-case basis.
To learn whether a reverse shoulder replacement surgery will be necessary for you, we encourage you to call our office at (210) 481-1700 and schedule a private consultation with our doctors. They’ll be happy to sit down with you and determine the best course of action for your condition and needs.
