Joint Replacement
Your joints link your bones together and let you bend and rotate. As you age, joints begin to wear out and cause pain. If physical therapy, medications and other conservative measures haven’t brought lasting relief, joint replacement surgery at Tidelands Health can help you return to the life you love. Our team of experienced surgeons and physicians offers advanced care close to home that will help you get back to the activities you love quickly and with less pain.
Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital and Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital have been recognized by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina as Blue Distinction Centers for knee and hip replacement. Tidelands Georgetown has also earned the same recognition for spine surgery.
Hip, Knee and Shoulder Procedures
Experienced surgeons at Tidelands Waccamaw and Tidelands Georgetown will exchange your damaged hip, knee or shoulder for a long-lasting artificial joint that will ease your pain. Take advantage of procedures such as:
- Total hip replacement, including anterior hip replacement, an approach that cuts no muscles, lessens your discomfort and speeds your recovery
- Total and partial knee replacement, including a minimally invasive technique that reduces pain and rehabilitation time
- Shoulder replacement, which uses a joint designed to last the rest of your life
