Joint Replacement

---

Advances in medical technology have made joint replacement therapy an effective option to treat chronic joint pain from arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases or injury. The multidisciplinary orthopedic care team at Bravera Health includes orthopedic doctors, surgeons, pain management specialists and physical therapists who provide care. We offer orthopedic surgery, including:

• Total joint replacement for knees, hips, elbows and shoulders
• Partial knee replacement
• Anterior approach to hip replacement

Minimally invasive or robotic options may be available at Bravera Health Brooksville and Seven Rivers.

Anterior Approach to Hip Replacement
Patients having a hip replacement at Bravera Health have the potential for less pain, faster recovery and improved mobility through the anterior approach to total hip replacement. During this procedure, orthopedic surgeons work between the patient’s muscles and tissues, so there is no cutting through major muscle groups. This may result in fewer traumas to the patient’s tissue, meaning less pain, a quicker recovery and fewer complications.

Our approach to joint care includes:

• Pre-operative education
• Dedicated unit with private suites for hip and knee replacement patients
• Analgesic and rapid-recovery surgical techniques that may result in less pain and quicker recovery
• Comfortable clothing (no hospital gowns here; patients wear their own clothes)
• Group education, exercise and dining to encourage camaraderie and support
• Joint coaches (family member or friend who is an active participant in the patient’s care)
• After-care support, including follow-up calls within 72 hours of discharge and quarterly reunions for patients and coaches

Part of our care includes preparing our patients properly before surgery, as well as helping them recover their mobility. You’ll know what to expect before, during and after surgery. Orthopedic care professionals are focused on providing quality care from diagnosis through recovery.

Joint Arthroscopies

Surgeons can also perform minimally invasive surgical procedures at some of our locations such as joint arthroscopies to visualize, diagnose and treat problems within a joint. An endoscope is inserted into the joint using a small incision and if needed, can repair some types of joint damage during the procedure. This type of procedure would be done as an outpatient and you would plan to go home the same day.
