Expert Care, Close to Home
When you choose Sturdy Health Orthopedic & Sports Medicine for your joint replacement surgery, you receive expert orthopedic care close to home.
Our orthopedic surgeons take a comprehensive approach to your care, from preparing you for surgery through rehabilitation and recovery. With strong ties to the communities we serve, we’re here to support you throughout your joint replacement journey, so you can receive the care you need without traveling far from home.
Our orthopedic surgeons offer minimally invasive joint replacement procedures, including Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery. These techniques may use smaller incisions and reduce disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. For some patients, minimally invasive surgery may also support shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and improved range of motion.
Your surgeon will consider factors such as your anatomy, activity level, overall health, and individual goals when determining the most appropriate joint replacement approach for you.
If joint pain is making it difficult to enjoy your daily activities, it may be time to talk with an orthopedic specialist about joint replacement surgery. You may want to consider an evaluation if:Â Â
- Joint pain limits your everyday activities.Â
- You experience persistent or worsening joint pain. Â
- Conservative treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, or injections, no longer provide adequate relief.Â
- Partial knee replacement
