Some of the orthopedic procedures performed at our Arlington, TX hospital include:

• Arthroscopy: This minimally invasive procedure allows the surgeon to closely examine the joints, such as the shoulder, knee, and hip. Small instruments, including a camera, are inserted into the joints, allowing the surgeon to see the extent of the damage. The surgeon is then able to treat the inside of the joint by removing damage and repairing affected structures, which can relieve pain and swelling.
• Joint Replacement: Our surgeons can perform joint replacement surgeries, like total hip or total knee replacement. Good candidates for joint replacement typically have severe pain or limited mobility due to a condition, like arthritis, and have not had success with other treatment options.
• Vertebral Tethering: This minimally invasive procedure is used to treat spinal conditions, like scoliosis.
• Lumbar Fusion: Orthopedic spine surgeons perform this surgery to join vertebrae in the lumbar spine (lower back) with bone grafting.
• Discectomy: Spinal surgery to remove the damaged part of a herniated disc.
• ACL Repair: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee can be injured during sports or other strenuous activities. Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are available to help restore the ACL to its pre-injury condition.
