Orthopedic Treatments in Tavares

Knee or hip pain can make life difficult, as can any type of joint pain. You don’t want to live with joint discomfort any longer than you have to. With the use of our advanced X-rays, MRIs, and bone scans, we can help you figure out what’s wrong and start bringing you relief as soon as possible.

Our screenings and tests include:

• Bone Scans and Bone Density Scans
• CT Scans
• MRIs
• Ultrasounds
• X-Rays

Our orthopedic specialists can help find and diagnose issues in a range of areas, including:

• Feet and Ankles
• Knees and Hips
• Joints
• Necks and Backs
• Shoulders, Elbows, Hands, and Wrists

Once we’ve diagnosed your condition, we’ll discuss how we can best care for you, whether that includes pain management, therapy, or orthopedic surgery. We’ll do whatever it takes to help you heal.

Sometimes, all you need to turn that joint injury around is a little physical therapy. Other times, you’ll need something like our Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Partial Knee Replacement Surgery to get rid of intense knee pain. Whatever you need for healing, you’ll find it here at our Joint Replacement Center, which is certified by the Joint Commission with a Gold Seal of Approval for knee and hip replacement surgeries. Our specialized orthopedic treatments and services include:

• Arthroscopic Surgery

• Custom Implant Knee Replacement Surgery
• Fracture Care and Emergency Services

AdventHealth Waterman is participating in the Centers for Medicare & 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 of 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.

If you have a surgery scheduled, you’ll be invited to our free pre-surgery joint replacement class. You’ll learn what to expect before and after surgery, how to maximize your joint health through nutrition, safety, and physical therapy, and how to prepare for your hospital stay.
