Orthopedic services we offer
Our orthopedic surgeons work with specially trained nurses and physical therapists to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment and recovery.

We help you recover from a spinal cord injury and manage its side effects, including:
- Bowel and bladder difficulties
- Decrease in joint mobility
- Impaired circulation
- Impairment of sexual function
- Loss of sensation
- Muscle spasticity
- Paralysis or weakness of muscles

Joint replacement surgery
Our Total Joint Program offers preoperative exercise, treatment and education for individuals who need hip, knee or shoulder care. In addition, our orthopedic staff works closely with the West Florida Rehabilitation Institute to provide comprehensive inpatient care following a joint replacement surgery.
Direct anterior hip replacement
Our orthopedic surgeons perform a minimally invasive surgical procedure for hip replacements called direct anterior surgery. This approach involves a short incision and allows our surgeons to replace the joint without detaching tendons.
Since the tendons are not detached during this procedure, you may be able to return to normal activities shortly after surgery with a lower risk of dislocation.
