What Hip & Knee Replacement Care Involves

Hip and knee replacement is one of the orthopaedic services offered at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center for adults whose hip or knee has started to limit the activities they care about. This is not a service reserved for any single age group. It is offered to active adults and athletes of all ages who want to talk through their options with an orthopaedic specialist.

A first visit typically includes a conversation about how your hip or knee has been feeling, a physical exam, and often imaging to get a clearer picture of the joint. From there, your provider walks through what they are seeing and what paths might make sense for you, in plain language, so you leave with understanding rather than more questions.

• Discussion of your activity level and goals
• Physical examination of the affected joint
• Imaging as needed to evaluate the joint
• A conversation about the range of options available

Any specific decisions about your care are made together with your provider during your visit, never guessed at ahead of time.

What to Expect When You Visit

Families who come to Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center from University, MS often mention that they appreciate having their concerns heard fully before anyone starts talking about next steps. Our team takes time to explain what is happening in your hip or knee in terms that make sense, so the visit feels like a conversation rather than a checklist.

Because our practice focuses on sports medicine and orthopaedics, the providers you see work within that focus every day, which keeps the conversation about your joint grounded in that specific area rather than treating it as one small part of a much broader visit.

You will have the chance to ask questions about what a hip or knee replacement evaluation actually involves and how the process tends to unfold, all before any decisions are made.
