Orthopedic Surgery
Care Is Comprehensive
Emerson Hospital has all the components needed for comprehensive orthopedic care, including:
Experienced orthopedic surgeons
- General and specialty care: Our orthopedic surgeons are experts at repairing bones and replacing cartilage, as well as performing complex procedures such as reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
- Minimally invasive procedures: The latest surgical techniques, including hip replacements, use small incisions, which results in less pain and a shorter recovery time. Many orthopedic procedures require no hospital stay.
- Specialized training: Several of Emerson’s orthopedic surgeons are fellowship-trained in sports medicine and joint replacement surgery.
Care after surgery
- Care at Emerson: If your surgery requires a hospital stay, you will be cared for by the hospital’s highly regarded nursing staff, many of whom have special training in pain management—an important aspect of orthopedic care.
- Transitional Care Unit (TCU): Many patients spend a few days on this attractive unit at Emerson before they head home. Those staying on the TCU benefit from having easy access to their orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist.
- Emerson Home Care: Those needing followup care at home after orthopedic surgery can choose this popular service staff by Emerson nurses.
Seasoned rehabilitation staff
- Emerson physical therapy (PT) staff: They are committed to helping you make progress after orthopedic surgery. Your PT works with your orthopedic surgeon to develop a plan that is customized to your individual needs.
- The
Rehabilitation Center: This spacious facility affiliated with Emerson
features a sunny gym, state-of-the-art equipment and ten private rooms
for physical therapy.
