Joint replacements are performed in the state-of-the-art orthopedic surgical suites at Eisenhower Medical Center and in the Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Surgery Center. EDOC surgeons use robotic and minimally invasive approaches for joint replacement, and patients can expect to return home as soon as the day of surgery or within one to two days of surgery.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have raked Eisenhower Medical Center in the top 97 U.S. hospitals for outcomes following joint replacement surgery. Eisenhower Medical Center is also a Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement.
Expert Surgeons for Excellent Outcomes
While hip and knee replacements are now common, success is still determined by the surgeon's expertise. In fact, many patients turn to our accomplished orthopedic surgeons for complex corrective surgeries to replace or repair failed joint replacements.
Our orthopedists favor a cautious, conservative approach. They always begin treatment with nonsurgical options such as physical therapy, injection therapy, medications, activity and lifestyle modifications with the goal to return patients to an active, pain-free life. However, over time, non-invasive measures may no longer be enough. That is when joint replacement becomes a valuable option. Determining factors include the severity of the arthritis and symptoms, their impact on quality of life, and the patient's overall health status. When surgery is the optimal solution, our surgeons, and our patients, can count on the support of a superb team of physical therapists, surgical technicians and educators.
