Total Joint Replacement Center: Orthopedic Care for Total Hip, Total Knee, and Arthroscopic Procedures

Living with joint pain can limit mobility and diminish quality of life. At Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital Fort Worth, our Total Joint Replacement Center specializes in comprehensive orthopedic care for patients needing total hip replacement, total knee replacement, or joint arthroscopies. From your initial consultation through recovery, our multidisciplinary team works together to restore function and get you back to the activities you love.

 

An Overview of Total Hip Replacement

When arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions cause persistent hip pain, total hip replacement can offer dramatic improvement. During this procedure, damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with prosthetic components designed to mimic natural hip movement. Our surgeons use the latest techniques—including muscle-sparing approaches and precision instrumentation—to minimize tissue disruption and promote faster healing. Most patients begin walking with assistance the day after surgery and transition to outpatient rehabilitation within days.

 

Precision Total Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement provides reliable, long-term relief for chronic knee pain stemming from worn cartilage or joint deformity. The worn joint surfaces are resurfaced with metal and plastic implants that restore stability and alignment. At our center, robotic-assisted technology may be used to enhance the accuracy of implant placement, leading to better joint function and improved patient satisfaction. Our care pathway emphasizes pain control, early mobilization, and personalized physical therapy, helping you regain strength and range of motion quickly.

 

Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Procedures

Not every joint issue requires complete replacement. For conditions like torn cartilage, loose fragments, or early-stage arthritis, minimally invasive arthroscopy allows surgeons to diagnose and treat problems through small incisions. A tiny camera—called an arthroscope—provides clear visualization, while specialized instruments enable targeted repair or debridement. Because arthroscopy preserves healthy tissue and uses more minor wounds, patients often experience less pain, fewer complications, and faster recoveries than traditional open surgery.

 

A Collaborative, Patient-Centered Approach

Our Total Joint Replacement Center brings together orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists in a coordinated outpatient program. From the moment you arrive, we focus on:

  • Customized care plans tailored to your medical history, activity level, and personal goals.
  • Comprehensive education on your procedure, recovery milestones, and home exercises to empower you throughout the process.
  • Enhanced pain management strategies, including nerve blocks and multimodal analgesia, to keep the discomfort under control without heavy reliance on opioids.
  • Structured rehabilitation that begins early and adapts as you progress, combining in-hospital guidance with outpatient or home-based therapy.

 

Preparing for Your Journey to Recovery

Before surgery, you’ll meet with your care team to review imaging, discuss expectations, and finalize your personalized treatment plan. A preoperative class covers what to expect on surgery day, pain control options, mobility training, and safety measures for returning home. After discharge, our outpatient physical therapists guide you through exercises designed to rebuild strength, improve balance, and restore independence.
