Our orthopedic program
Our orthopedic surgeons and doctors work with you, your primary physician and many subspecialists — such as hand doctors and foot surgeons — to provide personalized care. We combine the clinical expertise of our orthopedic specialists with a compassionate, caring treatment philosophy to create a program known for its quality of care.
Advanced spinal fusion surgery
We use a leading-edge, minimally invasive approach called extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) to treat disc degeneration, compression fractures and cervical artificial disk surgeries. Unlike traditional back surgery, the XLIF surgery accesses the spine laterally through your side. This approach avoids disrupting major muscles and tissues in the back, which is often required for traditional surgery.
Additionally, with the XLIF procedure, the incisions are much smaller than those made during traditional back surgeries. The surgeon accesses the spine through smaller incisions compared to those used in traditional back surgery. This can result in shorter hospital stays and recovery times.
Joint replacement
We are certified by The Joint Commission for knee and hip replacements, exemplifying our surgeons' expertise and our use of advanced technology in performing these procedures.
We strive to use the least invasive method possible, but orthopedic surgery is sometimes the best choice. Joint replacement surgery is often the most effective method to treat chronic joint pain and debilitating conditions.
During a joint replacement, an orthopedic surgeon removes parts of a damaged or arthritic joint and replaces those parts with a prosthesis, or artificial joint. Our joint replacement specialists offer a wide range of joint replacement procedures, including:
- Cervical artificial disc replacement (ADR)
- Elbow replacement
- Hip replacement (anterior and posterior approaches)
- Total and partial knee replacement
- Total and reverse shoulder replacement
- Total ankle replacement
In addition to joint replacement procedures, we offer preoperative total joint and spine education classes to help you prepare for surgery.
Physical therapy
Our therapy team uses inpatient and outpatient physical rehabilitation to treat orthopedic conditions and help you after surgery. We are home to the only inpatient rehabilitation facility accredited by The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
Our skilled rehabilitation specialists use specialized therapies, including physical, occupational and aquatic therapy, to help you reach your highest level of functionality, independence and mobility.
