Orthopedics
If you and your doctor have determined you are a candidate for total joint replacement, Mission Orthopedic Services is ready. Our Total Joint Replacement (TJR) program offers state-of-the-art technology and advanced surgical techniques to remove damaged cartilage and rebuild the joint area using metal, plastic or ceramic components. From the moment you schedule your surgery, our team starts working for you. Mission's multidisciplinary team of specialized nurses, physicians, physical and occupational therapists and clinical care coordinators meets bi-weekly to determine individualized plans of care that address the needs of each patient. This team approach, combined with our effective and personalized education, pain management and comprehensive home health rehabilitation is your answer to living without hip or knee joint pain.
Effective pain management is important for your recovery. Our experts use an evidence-based method of multimodal pain management that begins just before your surgery and continues throughout your recovery so that you can get back to the life you want to live faster.
Once your doctor has scheduled your Total Joint Replacement procedure, you will attend a free pre-operative Total Joint Replacement class where you will meet your Orthopedic Clinical Care Coordinator. In the class, you will be provided information about your surgery and recovery personalized to your unique situation.
