Regaining the Freedom of Motion
The NCH Orthopaedic Center of Excellence
specializes in total hip and knee replacement surgery but also includes traumatic fracture repair and other orthopaedic surgeries. These procedures take place at both campuses,
Downtown Naples Hospital Campus
and
North Naples Hospital Campus
, in specialized patient care units.
A recent study of Medicare patients named NCH Healthcare System the #1 busiest hospital in Florida for joint replacement surgery and the fourth in the country.
"Why Today's Joint Replacements are Better"
by Janina Birtolo, Naples Health
We perform more than 1,800 total joint replacement procedures annually, by board certified Orthopaedic surgeons, trained at some of the most prestigious programs in the country.
Orthopaedic surgery will enable you to improve your quality of life by relieving your pain. Your joint replacement will allow you to return to a more active life-style. This procedure is recommended based on a careful diagnosis of the patient's joint problem including their depth of pain, lack of mobility and its impact on his/her daily activity.
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the diseased parts of the joint are removed and replaced with new artificial parts called prosthesis. The surgeon will determine what prosthesis is best for you. Special care and rehabilitation must be taken after surgery for optimal recovery. Almost all patients have a good or an excellent result with this type of surgery.
