CHRISTUS Hospital-St. Elizabeth and St. Mary offer a complete array of orthopedic services, including general orthopedics, joint replacement, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Our program is staffed by top orthopedic surgeons in the region and nurses and physical therapists that specialize in total joint care. Together we offer patients comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans.

The purpose of joint replacement surgery is to reduce pain and immobility associated with the disease, and to return patients to a more active lifestyle.
