The answer is, we follow your lead. Hear from our team of hip and knee joint replacement surgeons about how they support patients in their individual decisions about managing hip or knee pain.
We’re a conservative practice and look for non-invasive treatments for pain and arthritis wherever possible. Before joint replacement is considered, we offer patients many non-surgical treatment options to manage arthritis pain including:
Expertise and experience matter to ensure the best possible outcome from hip or knee replacement. The level of specialization at Forté starts with our surgeons. Each of our joint replacement surgeons are fellowship trained and perform many hip and knee replacements a year.
In partnership with Franciscan Health, we provide an elevated patient experience at our state-of-the-art Orthopedic Center of Excellence. Located under the convenience of one roof, joint replacement patients can access our physicians’ clinic, pre and post-surgical rehabilitation, one-on-one joint replacement education, bracing and medical equipment retailer and surgery center equipped with the most modern technologies specialized for orthopedics.
One of the critical elements of a successful hip or knee replacement is placement of the implant. Computer navigation and robotics achieves more predictable and accurate placements for better outcomes with less pain. The personalization of the process ensures just the right amount of damaged material is removed, preserving more bone and soft tissues than traditional knee replacement surgery. Robotic instruments also increase the accuracy of your implant’s positioning, reducing the risk of complications. Learn more on how we customize your knee replacement here.
