Atención ortopédica

From minimally invasive joint surgery to nonsurgical options, we remain at the forefront of the latest orthopedic imaging, treatments and techniques.

Whether the result of aging, injury or overuse, we offer a wide range of services to care for joints, ligaments, bones, tendons, muscles and nerves. Our board-certified surgeons, neurologists, podiatrists, pain management specialists and therapists provide individualized care from your initial visit through rehabilitation.

Joint conditions can be treated in various ways, depending on the severity of pain and damage to surrounding cartilage. At HCA Houston Healthcare, conservative methods are often preferred, and may include physical therapy and steroid injections. When these forms of treatment do not help reduce joint pain or improve mobility, joint surgery may be required. Within our specialty areas, we provide access to a variety of joint care surgeries, including:

• Arthroscopy of the shoulder, hip and knee
• Hip replacement
• Knee replacement
• Other surgeries of the hands, wrists, feet and ankles
• Shoulder replacement

Across the Greater Houston area, we perform thousands of joint replacement surgeries every year. One of our flagship facilities is Texas Orthopedic Hospital, a regional leader in total and partial joint replacement surgery that is continuously recognized for providing the highest level of care in this specialty. Texas Orthopedic Hospital is one of the only specialty hospitals in the country focusing solely on orthopedics, and is one of 12 HCA Houston Healthcare hospitals and outpatient locations we have across the Greater Houston area. This also includes HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood, a Blue Distinction Center for knee and hip replacement as designated by Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Surgical procedures may be required for some conditions, such as osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, non-healing bone fractures and trauma injuries.

From hand and wrist surgery to limb reconstruction surgery, HCA Houston Healthcare is dedicated to treating conditions with delicacy and precision. Many of our locations offer advanced surgical capabilities for minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, including robot-assisted technology which offers you minimal scarring, a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. One of our prime locations for these techniques is HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball, which is designated as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery.

Whether physical therapy is used as a treatment or rehabilitation technique following orthopedic surgery, HCA Houston Healthcare is dedicated to helping you regain full range of motion, while minimizing pain. As part of our comprehensive orthopedic care, we offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Tailored directly to your unique needs, our physical therapy and rehabilitation locations focus on pain management, exercise and education. This includes HCA Houston Healthcare Conroe, which is recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers.

Our comprehensive suite of minimally invasive spine surgeries, interventional procedures and non-interventional procedures help diagnose and treat a wide range of neck and back conditions. These include herniated discs, low back pain and osteoarthritis. Additionally, we use advanced robot-assisted surgical technology whenever possible, which allows for superior precision, control and faster recovery.

We offer advanced sports medicine programs at several of our locations throughout Greater Houston. From injury assessments to return-to-sport rehabilitation, our sports medicine services help athletes get back in the game safely. Our network includes two sports medicine and rehab centers in the North Cypress area, as well as the Texas Sports Medicine Center (TSMC), located on the campus of HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball.
