Orthopedic Care in Hendersonville

When you trust us to care for you, find peace of mind knowing you’re in experienced hands.

Ankle

Your ankle is a complex joint made up of ligaments, muscles and tendons. So when something doesn’t feel right, you need a specialist on your side. Our ankle doctors are medical experts and orthopedic surgeons equipped to care for a wide range of ankle injuries and conditions, from a sprain or bone spur to a torn Achilles tendon or fracture.

If you’re experiencing pain, weakness, instability or rigidity in your ankle, we can help. Our orthopedic surgeons have additional training specifically in the foot and ankle. We’ll help guide you to a better quality of life through reduced or eliminated pain.

Hip

Factors like age, activity level and chronic disease all impact the state of your hips. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort while standing, walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs; stiffness after periods of rest; weakness, instability, swelling, or other osteoarthritis symptoms, you need the care of our experienced team.

Our hip specialists will work with you to achieve your recovery goals, whether it’s becoming independent again, reclaiming your hobbies or simply living pain-free.

Knee

Knee pain and inflammation can force you to slow your entire life down — maybe you’ve even had to change your routine or quit doing something you love. Whether your knee pain is the result of a sports injury or an age-related condition like arthritis, we’ll work to get you back to moving comfortably again.

Treatments for knee pain can vary greatly, from minimally invasive procedures, such as knee arthroscopy, to more traditional procedures, like total knee replacement, and are largely dependent on your injury or condition. We’re dedicated to creating a treatment plan that’s tailored to you and your unique needs.

Shoulder

The shoulder is the most versatile joint with the widest range of motion in the human body. But its flexibility also means increased risk of injury. Typically, shoulder pain can be identified as the result of one of four root causes: instability, arthritis, inflammation or fracture.

Our specialty-trained shoulder doctors are the region's experts in assessing, diagnosing and treating shoulder injuries and conditions. We’ll take into account your concerns and goals to chart the best course of recovery for you.

Spine

Due to its unique structure and proximity to the spinal cord, spine injuries can impact any part of the body. Symptoms and causes of spine conditions vary widely, as they can affect the bones, nerves, muscles and tendons, and can be difficult to understand. This is why accurate diagnosis from a spine specialist is so important.

We understand that spine issues are not only painful and uncomfortable, they impact your lifestyle and freedom. While spine conditions and injuries sometimes require surgical intervention, our spine doctors only consider surgical treatment options after non-surgical methods have proven unsuccessful. If surgery is necessary for your long-term health and recovery, our team will use the safest, most advanced surgical methods possible.

Hand and Wrist

Whether its writing to a loved one or tucking your little one into bed, your hands and wrists make so many important moments possible. If aching, swelling, stiffness, weakness or tingling in your hands, wrists or arms/ shoulders is interrupting your life, we can help you find relief. Our fellowship-trained experts provide various non-invasive and surgical solutions for injuries and chronic conditions of the hand and wrist, helping you get back to all the moments that matter

We’re committed to investing in technology and innovation that helps us heal you more efficiently. That’s why the AdventHealth Hendersonville Orthopedic Program is leading the region in several technological care firsts.

Misonix™ Ultrasonic Spinal Surgery

The Misonix BoneScalpel™ combines key features of traditional cutting tools and adds a new dimension that only ultrasound provides: a gentle approach that reduces bleeding and spares soft tissues. For patients, it means improved safety, efficiency and overall effectiveness.

nanoLOCK® Spine Implant

AdventHealth Hendersonville is the first and only health system in Western North Carolina to use nanomedicine in the operating room. The nanoLOCK® spine implant uses nanotechnology and a process called biomimicry to facilitate natural healing. It’s able to stimulate stem cells around the implant to turn into bone-forming cells, accelerating new bone growth. This revolutionary breakthrough provides patients with the greatest opportunity for improvement.

NAVIO™ Surgical System

AdventHealth Hendersonville is the only hospital in Western North Carolina offering partial and total knee replacement using the NAVIO™ Surgical System — a leading-edge, robotic-assisted platform delivering accurate and precise results for patients, crucial to the long-term success of knee replacement procedures. Surgeons have instant access to a 3D model of your knee and follow a computer-guided surgical plan that eliminates the need for preoperative CT scans and MRIs. The goal of the NAVIO robotic-assisted procedure is to achieve the best alignment and positioning of the knee implant to help it last as long as possible.

ProAxis® Spinal Surgical Table

ProAxis® allows our surgeons more precise positioning of the spine through software-controlled advanced hinge technology. Along with improved accuracy, the table also reduces the amount of time a patient is in surgery by up to 50% in some cases.

AdventHealth Hendersonville is participating in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. The program is a new payment model being tested for episodes of care related to total knee and total hip replacements under Medicare, with the goal of supporting better and more efficient care coordination for patients undergoing the most common inpatient surgeries.

The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model continues to pay providers under existing payment systems, but holds hospitals responsible for the quality and costs from the initial procedure through 90 days after the patient is discharged. Through the CJR program, CMS expects improved coordination of care among hospitals, physicians and post-acute care providers – from surgery to recovery – to benefit patients and result in better outcomes and fewer complications.
