St. David’s Center for Hip and Knee Replacement in Austin provides surgical and nonsurgical care for hip and knee conditions, from arthritis and joint pain to primary and revision joint replacement. Explore our services below to learn more about available treatment options.
Hip replacement
Hip replacement may be an option for patients with advanced arthritis or joint damage that causes ongoing pain, stiffness or loss of mobility despite nonsurgical treatment.
Our hip replacement services include:
- Total hip replacement
- Anterior hip replacement
- Revision hip replacement
- Evaluation of painful or problematic hip replacements
- Second opinions for hip replacement
Anterior hip replacement uses a muscle-sparing approach to access the hip joint and may be an option for certain patients. Your surgeon will recommend an approach based on your diagnosis, anatomy and individual needs.
Knee replacement
For patients with advanced knee arthritis or joint damage, partial or total knee replacement may be considered when nonsurgical treatment no longer provides adequate relief.
Our knee replacement services include:
- Total knee replacement
- Partial knee replacement
- Robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement
- Revision knee replacement
- Evaluation of painful or problematic knee replacements
- Second opinions for knee replacement
Partial knee replacement may be appropriate when arthritis or damage is limited to one area of the knee. Your surgeon will determine whether partial or total knee replacement is appropriate based on the location and extent of joint damage.
Revision hip and knee replacement
Patients who experience persistent pain, instability or other problems after a previous hip or knee replacement may need additional evaluation to determine the cause.
Our specialists evaluate painful or problematic joint replacements and provide second opinions for patients who have concerns about a previous procedure. When another surgery is necessary, revision hip or knee replacement may be performed to address problems with an existing joint replacement.
Robotic-assisted and computer-navigated surgery
Robotic-assisted technology and computer navigation may be used during certain hip and knee replacement procedures to assist the surgeon with surgical planning and implant positioning.
The technology used depends on the procedure and individual patient and is one component of the surgeon’s overall surgical plan.
Nonsurgical hip and knee treatments
Joint replacement is not the only option for hip or knee pain. Depending on your diagnosis and symptoms, nonsurgical treatment may be recommended to help manage pain and maintain function.
Treatment options may include:
- Physical therapy
- Activity modification
- Medications
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
- Corticosteroid injections
- Viscosupplementation injections
Your physician can help determine which options may be appropriate based on the cause and severity of your symptoms.
