Joint Replacement Program – test
Reclaim Your Mobility, Close to Home
When severe joint pain or arthritis makes walking, bending, or simply getting out of a chair difficult, finding expert relief shouldn’t mean driving miles away from home.
At Morgan Medical Center, our Joint Replacement Program brings advanced robotic technology and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons directly to Madison and Morgan County. From total knee and hip replacements to thumb and hand joint replacements, you can get world-class surgical care, recovery, and physical therapy right here in your community.
Technology for Better Outcomes
We invest in state-of-the-art surgical technology so you can recover quicker and return to the activities you love without leaving Morgan County.
Mako SmartRobotics™ System (Knee & Hip Replacement)
Our team utilizes the Mako SmartRobotics™ System (or what we’ve named, K.R.S.R. for Knee Replacement Surgeon Robot) to elevate your surgical outcome:
- Personalized Surgical Plan: A pre-operative CT scan creates a detailed 3D model of your unique anatomy.
- Robotic-Arm Precision: Your orthopedic surgeon guides the robotic arm to remove diseased bone and cartilage while protecting healthy tissue.
- Faster Recovery: Robotic-assisted replacements generally result in less surgical trauma, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to daily activity.
BioPro® Modular Thumb Implant (Thumb & Hand Joint Replacement)
For patients suffering from debilitating thumb arthritis, Morgan Medical Center offers the BioPro® Modular Thumb Implant—an advanced procedure performed by Dr. Thomas Parent, the only surgeon in Georgia offering this technique:
- Preserves Natural Anatomy: Unlike traditional surgery that removes bone, this procedure replaces the thumb joint to preserve your natural anatomy.
- Customized Fit: Features over 40 component combinations for a personalized, exact fit.
- Restored Strength & Mobility: Designed to rebuild pinch and grip strength with an outpatient recovery time of just 8–12 weeks!
Knee Replacement Care
If stiffness or severe osteoarthritis limits your mobility, our providers use state-of-the-art robotic precision to restore smooth, natural-like movement.
Conditions Treated
- Advanced Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Post-Traumatic Joint Degeneration
- Bone-on-Bone Friction
Procedures Offered
- Mako SmartRobotics™ Total Knee Replacement: Replaces the damaged joint using custom CT-guided 3D modeling for precise implant placement, smaller incisions, and faster recovery.
- Mako SmartRobotics™ Partial Knee Replacement: Preserves your healthy bone and ligaments by replacing only the affected compartment of the knee.
Mako for Total Knee Replacement is a treatment option for adults living with mid- to late-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. With a Mako Total Knee replacement, the entire knee joint is replaced, and the surgeon inserts a Triathlon Total Knee implant. With over a decade of clinical history, Triathlon knee replacements are different from traditional knee replacements because they are designed to work with the body to promote natural-like circular motion.
Mako for Partial Knee Replacement is a treatment option for adults living with early-to-midstage osteoarthritis (OA) that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee. Depending on where the arthritis affects the knee, patients may have an implant inserted in any of the following areas:
- Bicompartmental
- Medial (inside)
- Patellofemoral (top)
- Lateral (outside)
Hip Replacement Care
Deep hip or groin pain can turn simple daily routines into painful challenges. Our providers utilize advanced techniques designed for smaller incisions and shorter hospital stays.
Conditions Treated
- Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
- Osteoarthritis
- Avascular Necrosis
- Hip Dysplasia
Procedure Offered
Mako SmartRobotics™ Total Hip Replacement: Employs 3D robotic guidance to ensure optimal alignment of the hip implant, helping reduce postoperative pain and restore stability.
Shoulder and Upper Extremity Joint Care
Chronic shoulder pain or complex rotator cuff damage can severely limit your range of motion, making simple tasks like reaching overhead or dressing difficult.
At the same time, debilitating thumb arthritis doesn’t just cause pain at the base of your hand–it makes everyday tasks like opening a jar, turning a key, texting, or enjoying your favorite hobbies feel impossible. Our team delivers advanced surgical solutions to restore full strength and movement to your shoulders, hands, and wrists.
Conditions Treated
- Severe Shoulder Arthritis
- Joint Degeneration
- Complex Rotator Cuff Damage
- Thumb & Hand Osteoarthritis
Procedures Offered
- Total Shoulder Replacement & Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Advanced joint restoration designed to reduce pain and restore arm function.
- BioPro® Modular Thumb Joint Replacement: Offered by Dr. Parent–the only surgeon in Georgia performing this procedure–this state-of-the-art technique replaces the thumb joint instead of removing bone, preserving natural anatomy and restoring pinch and grip strength with a fast 8–12 week recovery.
