Our orthopedic specialties
Bone and joint conditions occur for various reasons, including injury, disease and general wear and tear. Effective treatments for orthopedic conditions require individualized care from a multidisciplinary team. That's why our orthopedic teams offer the following specialties.
Spine care
At HCA Midwest Health, we are dedicated to providing high-quality spine care. The spine is one of the most complex structures in the human body. That's why our spine specialists are also experts in orthopedic and neurological care. Our neurologists and orthopedic surgeons work together to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting the spine, including herniated discs, nerve pain, spinal stenosis and scoliosis.
Foot and ankle care
Lower extremity pain can significantly impact a person's mobility and quality of life. That's why our foot and ankle specialists use advanced technology to provide comprehensive foot and ankle care.
Hand and upper extremity care
Our orthopedic doctors offer specialized care for diseases and injuries affecting the hands and upper extremities. From fractures to arthritis, we are skilled in treating orthopedic conditions in the hands, elbows, arms and shoulders.
Orthopedic diagnostics
Whether a patient needs care for a broken bone or chronic condition or wants a second opinion, our orthopedic specialists have the expertise and technology to get them back to doing the things they love. The first step in orthopedic treatment is assessing and diagnosing a patient's condition. We offer a range of diagnostic options and imaging services, such as computerized tomography (CT) scans, X-rays and arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgical procedure using a small camera to examine a joint).
Orthopedic treatments
Our orthopedic specialists work with patients and their primary care doctors to develop personalized treatment plans created with our patients' lifestyles and personal goals in mind. We offer several orthopedic treatment methods, including surgical and non-surgical options.
Orthopedic surgery
We always treat patients with the least invasive methods possible, but orthopedic surgery is sometimes the best option. We provide a wide range of orthopedic surgeries and use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. This includes robotic surgery, which can offer faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.
The orthopedic surgeries we offer include:
- Joint replacement surgery
- Minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures
- Microvascular procedures for nerve repair
- Revision surgery
- Shoulder surgeries, such as:
- Frozen shoulder surgery
- Rotator cuff repair
- Shoulder separation surgery
- Shoulder dislocation procedures
- Repair of fractures affecting the shoulders
- Spine surgeries, including:
- Disc replacement (artificial disc surgery)
- Discectomy and microdiscectomy (surgical removal of abnormal or herniated disc material)
- Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty (surgeries to treat fractures in the vertebra)
- Laminectomy (spinal decompression surgery)
- Lumbar interbody fusion (fusing of vertebral segments to treat chronic pain)
- Spinal fusion (joining of two or more vertebrae)
- Spinal reconstruction
- Surgery for tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis or loose or torn cartilage
- Tumor removal
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows an orthopedic surgeon to view inside a joint to diagnose and treat conditions. It involves the insertion of a tiny camera and light in a narrow tube into a small incision.
Joint replacement
Joint replacement surgery helps patients with chronic joint pain and debilitating joint conditions. During a joint replacement, an orthopedic surgeon removes parts of a damaged or arthritic joint and replaces those parts with a prosthesis (artificial joint).
Our hospitals use the latest joint replacement techniques and technology, including robot-assisted surgical options and custom 2D and 3D implantations.
Joint replacements we offer include:
- Ankle replacements
- Elbow replacements
- Hip replacements (full and partial)
- Knee replacements (full and partial)
- Shoulder replacements (full and partial)
- Wrist replacements
Noninvasive orthopedic treatments
We offer specialized plans that include combinations of nonsurgical care. Medication and physical therapy, for example, may be used to get our patients on their feet as quickly as possible.
Pain management
We offer pain management services for patients with spine and orthopedic diseases. In addition to oral medications, we may use medical injections to target nerve bundles and deliver pain-relieving medicine. Our orthopedic doctors use ultrasound-guided injection therapy to locate the source of pain and deliver medicine.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
We offer inpatient and outpatient orthopedic physical therapy and rehabilitation services, including occupational therapy. Physical and occupational therapies may be used in addition to pain management services to treat conditions without surgery. Rehabilitation services may also be used after surgery.
