If you are in need of treatment or surgery for your hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder, our experienced surgeons will work with you to get the results you’re looking for. We can help to restore sensation, joint motion, tendon gliding or muscle contraction, and relieve your pain.

The hand and upper extremity specialists at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Centennial exclusively focus on the treatment of injuries and abnormalities of the upper extremities. Some of our hand surgery specialties include:

• Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
• Sports related injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder

Joint wellness

Hip, knee and shoulder joints undergo an incredible amount of pressure and can be the source of a lot of pain. Over time, these joints can become susceptible to arthritis, everyday wear or injury.

In recent years, joint replacement surgery has made significant improvements, with minimally invasive techniques available. The experts in orthopedic surgery here in Frisco can perform the procedure with specially designed instruments to insure the socket and bones are prepared and placed properly.

At Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Centennial we can provide relief through hip and knee replacements, as well as through a number of shoulder procedures.

There are numerous benefits associated with minimally invasive joint replacement compared to the traditional method of surgery, which may include:

• Smaller incisions
• Reduced blood loss
• Less muscle damage
• Less discomfort after the procedure
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster rehabilitation
• Earlier return to work

Joint replacement surgery, whether traditional or minimally invasive, is performed to help decrease pain, increase mobility and improve quality of life.

If you have not felt relief with other treatments including exercise, walking aids or medication, you may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery. Talk with your doctor and find out how we can help restore your quality of life.

Orthopedic surgery

If you are suffering from pain caused by serious injury or illness, you may be referred by your doctor for orthopedic treatment.

Oftentimes, it is even possible to repair these conditions through the arthroscope, reducing the necessary incisions and recovery time. There are a number of solutions to get you relief for your pain and improve your quality of life.
