Our Hand and Upper Extremity services focus on treatment for a wide range
of conditions. Whether the conditions originate from trauma, disease or
the aging process, our orthopedic team is skilled in reconstructive procedures
and treatments to help improve function.
Joint Replacement and Reconstruction
As a leader in joint replacement and reconstruction services, our Orthopedic
Joint Center has been recognized for its high level of quality and cost-efficient
delivery of care. This recognition includes being named a
UnitedHealth Premium Total Joint Specialty Center by United Health Group and a
Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement by Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Our Joint Center’s focus on knee and hip replacements results in
a high level of quality care, with most patients returning home within
three days of surgery. From the moment patients enter our facility and
throughout their stay, our goal is to help them quickly attain a full
recovery with the best outcomes possible.
Additionally, Southwest General provides care for many other conditions
for which surgical intervention may be the best course of action to help
patients regain active and healthy lives. This includes patients who have
older orthopedic joint implants that need to be replaced or modified due
to wear, structural fatigue or changes in their personal anatomy. For
these patients, our highly skilled orthopedic surgeons perform a variety
of procedures to restore joint function and quality of life.

from herniated discs to more complex conditions caused by trauma, disease
or congenital disorders. Neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons on Southwest
