Explore Orthopedic Surgery Options

If pain, injury or limited mobility is keeping you from the activities you enjoy, orthopedic surgery may help restore function and improve your quality of life. At Providence, you'll have access to highly skilled orthopedic surgeons, advanced surgical techniques and a coordinated care team that supports you through every stage of treatment and recovery.

Many orthopedic conditions can be treated with physical therapy, medication, injections or other non-surgical options. When these treatments no longer provide enough relief, surgery may be recommended to help reduce pain, restore mobility and improve your ability to participate in everyday activities.

Your orthopedic specialist will evaluate your condition, discuss your goals and help determine the best treatment approach for your needs.

Our orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons perform a wide range of procedures to treat injuries and conditions affecting the joints, bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles, including:

  • Arthroplasty for joint arthritis
  • Arthroscopy for most joints
  • Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
  • Foot and ankle surgery
  • Hand and elbow surgery
  • Hip replacement
  • Joint contracture release
  • Knee replacement, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA)
  • Minimally invasive fixations and decompression procedures
  • Shoulder surgery
  • Surgical treatment for fractures caused by osteoporosis
  • Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures

When appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques that repair damage through smaller incisions. These advanced approaches may help:

  • Begin rehabilitation earlier
  • Help you return to daily activities sooner
  • Minimize scarring
  • Reduce post-surgical pain and discomfort
  • Shorten recovery time

Many patients are able to walk the day after surgery and start their recovery faster than with traditional surgical approaches.

Recovery is an important part of your treatment plan. Our coordinated orthopedic care team works closely with you before, during and after surgery to support healing and help you regain strength and mobility.

Depending on your procedure, your recovery plan may include rehabilitation, physical therapy and ongoing follow-up care designed to help you safely get back to the activities that matter most.
