Baptist Health Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic care is an essential part of healthcare for any and all bodies. Your bones move, support and protect various organs in your body. They also produce blood cells and store minerals. With these vital functions, your bones need to be intact and functioning properly. When accidents happen or our bodies wear and tear, the orthopaedics team at Baptist Health will work to put you on a fast track back to normal bone functioning.

Personalized Orthopaedic Care

Our qualified orthopaedics team of nurses, anesthesia staff, scrub technicians, patient care technicians and unit clerks provide care to patients who have undergone various orthopaedic surgeries or require treatment for joint injuries and issues. Some examples of treatments our team specializes in:

• Total joint replacements
• Fractured hips or bones

The Joint Center

Our state-of-the-art Joint Center of Central Alabama is conveniently located at Baptist Medical Center South. This Blue Cross Center of Distinction + facility is one of the first in the River Region to offer robotic-arm assisted total knee, partial knee and total hip replacements with Stryker’s Mako System. This highly advanced robotic technology transforms the way joint replacement surgery is performed, so your surgeon can create a personalized joint replacement surgical plan, and get you back to what you love, quicker.

The demand for joint replacements continues to rise, yet studies have shown that approximately 30 percent of patients are dissatisfied after conventional surgery. At the Joint Center of Central Alabama, we do things differently by providing each patient with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and anatomy.
