Joint Replacements
The first total hip replacement in the state of Wisconsin was performed at Columbia Hospital in 1968. Since that time, more joint replacements have been done at Columbia Hospital than in any other hospital in southeastern Wisconsin.
Columbia St. Mary's specialized services for patients having joint replacements include:
•
Inpatient Surgical Services
The surgeons and operating room staff work in facilities specially designed for orthopaedic surgery. The state-of-the-art technology and equipment will promote successful outcomes and reduce risk.
•
Inpatient Orthopaedics Unit
These specialty units are staffed with nurses and therapists who are experienced in caring for patients who have had joint replacement surgery. They will work closely with the physicians to provide individualized care.
•
Rehabilitation Services
Inpatient, outpatient, and home care services are available for those patients who may need additional therapy after surgery to increase their strength and mobility.
