Orthopedic care

Instead of commuting to the Texas Medical Center, you can now access a team of subspecialized physicians who serve their community and are capable of treating all orthopedic injuries. Our facility is easily accessible and features a state-of-the-art radiology suite, ten patient rooms with large patient beds, a dedicated casting room and a spacious waiting room with refreshments.

Our surgeons provide a full continuum of care, from imaging services and orthopedic surgery to sports performance training and physical therapy. The types of orthopedic care we provide include:

• Joint care – The orthopedists at HCA Houston Healthcare West are committed to getting you back to the activities you enjoy. We treat a broad range of orthopedic and joint conditions, including arthritis, fractures, orthopedic trauma, carpal tunnel syndrome and joint replacement.
• Spine care – Our spine care specialists offer minimally invasive surgeries using the latest technology. Some of the spinal disorders and conditions we treat include degenerative disc disease, cauda equina syndrome, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, spine fractures, scoliosis and sciatica.
• Orthopedic oncology – If you have musculoskeletal tumors, our orthopedic oncologist provides comprehensive evaluations and state-of-the-art treatment. We can provide care for chondrosarcoma, chordoma, Ewing's sarcoma, metastatic cancer of the spine or extremity, osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma and spinal tumors.
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation – Our team of physical and occupational therapists are here to help you recover and get back on your feet through a range of motion exercises, strengthening techniques and patient education. Our therapists will work with your physician to create a treatment plan that is based on your unique needs.
• Orthopedic surgery – If surgery is necessary, we use the most advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology and equipment that provides us with clearer pictures to better diagnose injuries or issues. Our operating room is equipped with a 3D surgical imaging system that can be used to assess orthopedic trauma and spinal injuries. We also have a mini C-arm fluoroscopy that allows us to dynamically visualize parts of the body and determine acute injury. Use of the mini C-arm means significantly lower radiation exposure than a traditional X-ray.

Surgical procedures we offer include:

• Complex joint and limb reconstruction
• Complex spinal reconstruction surgery
• Computer-assisted navigation surgery
• General orthopedic surgery
• Hip and knee arthroplasty
• Limb salvage surgery
• Minimally invasive spinal surgery
• Radical resection for soft tissue sarcoma
• Revision spinal surgery
• Rotationplasty
• Spinal fusion surgery

Some conditions can be treated without surgery, instead with medication, injections and rehabilitation. We offer ultrasound-guided injections that help our physicians correctly place the needle, ensuring that the medication is injected where it will be most effective.

If you are seeking orthopedic care that is close to home, we invite you to make an appointment for an evaluation with one of our orthopedic surgeons.
