Knee Surgery and Hip Surgery

Wake Forest Baptist Health can help people who are suffering from thigh, groin, and knee pain and are also experiencing decreased range of motion. Orthopedic procedures include arthroscopy, hip replacement, hip revision, partial hip replacement, knee replacement, knee surgery, hip surgery, and MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing.

Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery

Less invasive than raditional knee replacement surgery, robotic-assisted partial knee resurfacing is proving popular with patients who are experiencing major knee problems. Robotic-assisted partial knee resurfacing uses the MAKOplasty system that provides the surgeon with more control over the procedure.

Hip Arthroscopy

An alternative to total joint replacement, hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic surgical procedure that surgeons perform to repair hip problems. Hip arthroscopy can help patients who are suffering from hip pain, joint tightness, muscle weakness, and loss of strength.
