Complex joint treatment options

As a recognized leader in orthopedics, Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas' Complex Joint and Musculoskeletal Tumor Program offers a wide range of surgeries, including:

  • Total knee and shoulder replacement
  • Complex joint reconstruction
  • Complex joint revision
  • Infected joint treatment and replacement

Joint replacement and reconstruction procedures are frequently associated with joints that have been severely damaged due to athletic-related injuries or age-related wear and tear. However, infections, tumors and deformities in the bones and joints also may mean total joint replacement is the best course of treatment.

These surgical cases are often more complicated due to the underlying cause, which may have led to bone or soft tissue loss or other structural deficits in the joint that needs to be replaced.
