We ask a lot of our knees. They carry our weight, allow us to walk, pivot, run, and absorb the impact of our steps and landings and falls. When they wear out, we feel it all over our bodies.
Total knee replacement alleviates that pain by resurfacing the areas of the knee that are damaged or diseased and replacing them with a prosthetic. At Summit Orthopedic Specialists in Sacramento, total knee replacement is a high-tech outpatient procedure. Our surgeons make sure our surgeries are as minimally invasive as possible to reduce recovery times.
Total Knee Replacement
Everyone has an opinion about when or if you should get a hip replacement, from friends and loved ones to your neighbor down the block. But not everyone is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip replacement in Sacramento.
Summit Orthopedic Specialists has a few of those, and they’ll be happy to help. If you experience consistent hip pain during your normal daily activities, our hip specialists can help ease your burden and answer your questions. And, unlike your neighbor, they have Ph.Ds and years of surgical experience to guide their answers.
Total Hip Replacement
You have a lot riding on your shoulders. Don’t let shoulder pain add to your burden. If you experience persistent or worsening shoulder pain that doesn’t go away with therapy or rest.
It may be time to look into an orthopedic solution like total shoulder replacement. Sacramento’s Summit Orthopedic Specialists have innovative and customizable solutions to minimize the downtime of shoulder replacement. We use hi-tech methods to perform these surgeries on an outpatient basis to save you money and encourage a speedy recovery.
Total Shoulder Replacement
Summit Orthopedic Specialists understands that nobody wants to spend the night in a hospital when they can recover in the comfort of their own homes.
That’s why, wherever possible, we create surgery plans that include outpatient joint surgery. From partial replacements to arthroscopic treatments to full knee replacements, our skilled surgeons can make life-changing enhancements to your joints without long and expensive hospital stays. Get back to normal faster with outpatient joint surgery at Summit!
Outpatient Joint Surgery
Not every problem needs surgery to solve it. Sometimes, our doctors can provide joint pain relief through viscosupplement injections (also known as “gel” injections”).
These injections add hyaluronic acid into the joint to provide a cushion between the bones to reduce pain and discomfort. In Sacramento, Summit Orthopedic Specialists offers a wide variety of joint injections to reduce swelling, increase mobility, ease discomfort, prevent damage, and delay surgical intervention.
Viscosupplement Injections
Make no mistake about it; our surgeons are incredibly precise, skillful, and detail-oriented.
But even the most practiced human surgeon has physical limitations. Robotic surgery reduces these limitations by giving our surgeons a powerful tool to make smaller cuts and more precise interventions than any human being could accomplish freehand: often with an accuracy of less than one millimeter from the plan! We are one of the first orthopedic practices in the country to train on many of these devices, and our surgeons instruct others around the country on how to embrace these robotic arms to improve patient outcomes.
Robotic Surgery
Total knee replacement involves completely replacing the knee, but there are many cases where this is not medically necessary.
At Summit Orthopedic Specialists, partial knee replacement can often resolve the pain and symptoms our patients have with far less rehabilitation and recovery than a full knee replacement. By sparing the ligaments and only replacing what needs to be replaced, we can create a more “natural-feeling” knee that gets you back to mobility without pain faster.
Partial Knee Replacement
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful way to augment many therapeutic enhancement services. It uses the potent anti-inflammatory nutrients found in your blood to help promote a myriad of health benefits. Many patients opt to use PRP injections to promote wound healing and promote a healthier musculoskeletal system.
PRP With RegenkitOur surgeons now provide our patients in Sacramento outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Select patients who are healthy enough to be candidates for this pathway can receive TJA at an ambulatory surgery center. Summit Orthopedic Specialists was the first group in the Sacramento area to offer this type of service to patients.
