Total Knee & Hip Joint Replacement
At Perham Health, we specialize in total knee and hip replacement surgeries designed to help you regain your mobility, reduce chronic pain, and return to the active lifestyle you love—all while staying close to home.
Our team of experienced orthopedic surgeons and dedicated healthcare professionals is here to guide you every step of the way, from diagnosis and pre-surgery preparation to rehabilitation and recovery. We take a personalized approach to your care, tailoring treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals.
Total knee and hip replacement surgeries involve replacing damaged or worn-out joints with durable, high-quality prosthetics. These procedures are often recommended for individuals suffering from severe arthritis, injury, or other joint conditions that significantly affect daily life.
ROSA Robotic Technology for Knee Replacement
You’re unique, and so is your anatomy. That’s why our orthopedic surgeons use robotic technology to tailor the placement of your knee implant just for you. Getting a precise knee implant fit is important to your comfort and overall experience following knee replacement surgery. Robotic technology uses data collected before and during surgery to inform your surgeon of many details related to your unique anatomy that may affect your implant fit. By using this data to make more informed decisions, our surgeon is able to plan for and carry out a personalizes surgery based upon your individual needs.
Pre-Surgery Joint Camp
Anyone undergoing a total hip or knee replacement at Perham Health is required to view our online Joint Camp class.
Joint Camp is designed to educate patients about what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, and it has been proven to result in a faster, more successful recovery. By watching the class with your coach (spouse, family member, or friend), you’ll feel more comfortable and knowledgeable about your upcoming surgery—all from the convenience of your home. After you have scheduled your surgery, a surgery nurse will direct you to the video and help with any other questions you have at that time.
