If you are a total joint replacement patient in Temple, your surgeon will discuss with you whether the Rapid Recovery Program is right for you.
Anterior hip replacement
For many people suffering from arthritis, hip pain, stiffness and/or limited hip movement, the only option for relief is a total hip replacement. However, our facility offers anterior hip replacement, a proven, minimally invasive technique.
Anterior hip replacement allows access to the hip joint through natural muscle planes instead of cutting through hip muscles.
Patients who are candidates for this surgical technique typically experience reduced pain and faster recovery time than a traditional hip replacement surgery.
Partial knee replacement
A partial knee replacement, also known as an uncompartmental knee arthroplasty, replaces part of the knee with an artificial implant when the joint becomes painful or nonfunctional due to severe damage from disease such as arthritis.
The partial knee replacement procedure, an alternative to total knee replacement, is performed if only one of the three compartments of your knee is affected.
Because it is a minimally invasive knee surgery, hospital stays and recovery times are generally shorter than those for total knee replacements.
