We are Mississippi’s only full-service provider of specialized orthopaedic care and proudly are the first orthopaedic group in the state to perform outpatient replacements. Outpatient Joint Replacement is quickly becoming the standard of care as advancements in technique and technology have proven the Ambulatory Surgery Center as a prime setting for Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Outpatient Benefits:

• No hospital stay

• Home before dinner on surgery day

• Rapid recovery in your own home

• Less expensive

• Convenient bundled billing for qualified patients

• Centrally located

Outpatient partial and total joint replacements are now available for hips and knees. Our surgeons perform more partial and total knee and hip replacements than all other orthopaedic surgeons in the state combined.

Our patients are primarily from Mississippi, but patients from all over the Southeast, including Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana also select our doctors. Some of our patients are referred by family or friends and others by their primary care physicians or specialists.

In recent years, advanced techniques and technologies have revolutionized knee and hip replacements allowing more arthritis patients to consider treatments at an earlier time. In many cases, when traditional treatments are not effective, hip and/or knee replacement surgery may be appropriate to stop the pain, increase mobility, and allow a more normal life.

About Hip Replacement

Great advancements have been made in recent years in hip replacement surgery. Perhaps the greatest breakthroughs have been regarding advanced implant materials and much better hip surface bearings. Better hip surface bearings greatly reduce wear which significantly increases the life and longevity of the hip replacement. According to laboratory data, scientists now feel that hip replacements today may last a lifetime.

Minimally invasive and muscle sparing operative techniques, as well as, peri-operative multimodal pain management regimens give our patients minimal pain after surgery and allow for an easier and faster recovery. In addition to faster recovery, there may be potential benefits such as less bleeding and smaller scars for improved cosmetics.

We offer the latest and best approaches in hip replacement combining the precision and accuracy of computer-assisted technology with our surgical skills. We offer computer navigated “mini-incision posterior” hip replacement and anterior hip replacement. With both of these approaches to hip replacement, no muscle is cut, no post-operative hip precautions and patients are mobile the day of surgery. Both approaches also help restore equal leg lengths, normal anatomical position of the new implants, and are equal in their reduced recovery time.

About Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery, in recent years, has seen advancements in implant materials, rotating knee bearings, gender-specific knee designs, computer-assisted surgery (CAS), multimodal peri-operative pain control, minimally invasive muscle sparing surgery and partial knee replacements.

Minimally invasive and muscle sparing operative techniques as well as peri-operative pain management regimens give our patients minimal postoperative pain and allow for an easier and faster recovery. In addition to faster recovery, there may be potential benefits such as less bleeding and smaller scars for improved cosmetics. Computer-assisted placement of the prosthesis offers visual mapping to aid decision-making before and throughout the knee replacement operation through a combination of precision computer technology with our surgical skills.

We offer Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) or partial knee replacements to patients who have degenerative arthritis isolated to one area of the knee. This procedure preserves two-thirds of the patient’s natural, healthy knee tissue.
