Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery removes parts of your arthritic or damaged knee joint and replaces these parts with a device designed to replicate the movement of a healthy knee joint. Today, knee replacement surgery does not have to cause a major disruption to your life. Texas Health hospitals’ approach to knee replacement surgery is designed to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
-
Minor Incision
Minor incision procedures can shorten the length of time that surgical wounds need to heal, as well as decrease any associated pain and risk of infection. Physicians on the medical staff of Texas Health hospitals can utilize these techniques to limit the size of the incisions used during knee surgery.

Robotics
Robotic technology allows physicians on our medical staff to more precisely map orthopedic knee surgeries in advance and use a minimally invasive approach to perform knee surgeries. Robotic technology is being used at many Texas Health hospitals for a number of orthopedic procedures.

Reconstructions and Revisions
The development of stronger and more durable knee replacement devices has recently greatly diminished the need for revision procedures. Nevertheless, a revision is necessary from time to time, when an initial knee replacement fails. The physicians on the medical staff of Texas Health hospitals can perform a full range of revision total joint services, including total hip, total knee and total shoulder.
-
Joint Coordinators
Several Texas Health hospitals have joint care coordinators who serve as a link between patients planning knee replacement surgery and their physicians. These coordinators guide patients and their families through the knee replacement process.
-
Joint Camp
Once you’ve scheduled your joint replacement surgery, we encourage you to attend an informative preoperative class where you will learn what to expect before, during and after surgery. During the class you will receive an in-depth overview of your surgery. You’ll have an opportunity to have your questions answered and meet other joint replacement patients.
