Patient-focused approach to orthopedic surgery

When you meet with your orthopedic team, they'll listen to your physical and emotional needs and work with you to find the most appropriate treatment for your orthopedic condition. We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques and perform minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. 

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive orthopedic procedures often result in:

  • Less post-operative pain
  • Faster recovery times
  • Minimal trauma to the surgical site
  • Less scarring
  • Lower risk of complications

Depending on your specific condition, you may be able to have procedures ranging from joint resurfacing to a total joint replacement through minimally invasive surgery performed in an outpatient setting.

Care and support beyond orthopedic surgery

If you are required to stay in the hospital following your surgery, your care team will continue to help you reach your goals following your procedure.

During your recovery, physical therapists will work with you to regain strength and flexibility while you are in the hospital. Novant Health also offers inpatient rehabilitation services that focus on physical and occupational therapy.

Once you are back home, your team of orthopedic specialists will help you stay on track as you reclaim your flexibility and freedom of movement.

Your Care Team's Role

Safer, Faster Recovery With ERAS

Our surgeons adhere to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care pathway.

This means your entire care team follows scientific-based methods before, during and after surgery designed to reduce your pain, reduce your recovery time and enable you to go home faster.
