Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery
The UT Health East Texas Orthopedic Institute is at the forefront of minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, offering cutting-edge treatments that result in less pain and quicker recovery times for our patients. UT Health Athens advanced robotic surgery techniques that require smaller incisions and cause less trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to a smoother and faster healing process.
Minimally invasive robotic technology is used in a variety of procedures, including anterior hip replacement surgery, arthroscopic surgery for joint and sports-related injuries, and total joint replacement surgery. These minimally invasive procedures not only reduce the hospital stay but also lower the risk of complications and improve the overall surgical outcomes.
Patients benefit from less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to normal activities, emphasizing our commitment to providing the highest quality of orthopedic care with state-of-the-art surgical methods.
