Atención ortopédica
Los médicos ortopédicos, llamados ortopedistas, brindan atención para los huesos y las articulaciones. Esto incluye dolor de rodilla, reemplazo total de la articulación, problemas que afectan la columna vertebral, entre otros. Es posible que deba visitar a un ortopedista si tiene artritis u osteoporosis, o si recientemente ha sufrido un esguince, una torcedura o una fractura de hueso.
Preoperative joint replacement education
Wesley Medical Center believes in keeping patients informed and involved in their health before, during and after joint replacement surgery to help ensure patient satisfaction. We offer a preoperative educational class to help patients feel more comfortable with the surgical and recovery processes.
Wesley Medical Center offers comprehensive orthopedic services, including a joint replacement program accredited by The Joint Commission and BlueCross BlueShield since 2010. We recently invested $10 million to renovate the joint replacement unit, adding beds and innovative technology.
Advanced spine imaging technology
Wesley Medical Center is one of only 66 hospitals in the nation to offer the most advanced spine imaging technology.
This system obtains immediate, clear images of your spine and neck bones to indicate where hardware needs to be placed. This ensures the hardware is placed in the exact, pre-planned position, and it results in smaller incisions, faster recovery and better patient outcomes.
