Every year, more than 400,000 people in the U.S. have joint replacement surgery to improve mobility and reduce pain.
UT Southwestern Medical Center’s hip and knee joint replacement and reconstruction surgeons have the experience and expertise to treat injuries and conditions affecting these important joints. When a condition or injury threatens the health of the hip or knee joint, it can seriously and adversely affect patients’ lives. However, the damage can be healed with a variety of therapies and procedures available at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
In addition, our specialists can reduce or eliminate the health complications, problematic symptoms or other conditions that accompany conditions and injuries to the lower extremities. Our compassionate physicians work to provide attentive, personalized care to patients so that they can relieve the pain and mobility problems associated with these conditions.
Some of the hip and knee conditions treated at UT Southwestern include:
- Arthritis, including rheumatoid, post-traumatic and psoriatric
- Bursitis
- Osteonecrosis
- Paget’s disease
- Tendonitis
- Torn cartilage
- Sprained or strained knee ligaments and/or muscles
