Trusted Hip & Knee Specialists
Serving Mississippi for Over 40 Years
The sub-specialized hip and knee surgeons at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center utilize cutting-edge techniques and technology to ensure the best outcomes for all our patients. They are committed to treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and vow to avoid unnecessary medical tests and procedures. Getting our patients from injury to recovery and beyond as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In addition to hip and knee conditions, our surgeons also perform complex revision surgeries when a previous joint replacement has failed or worn out over time. Revision procedures involve removing the old implant and replacing it with new components to restore function and relieve pain. Common reasons for revision include implant loosening, infection, stiffness, or fractures around the prosthesis. These surgeries require advanced skill and are aimed at improving joint stability, enhancing range of motion, and delivering lasting pain relief—helping patients return to daily life with greater confidence and comfort.
Don’t ignore the pain. Take the first step toward healing today.
