Orthopedic Care in Tampa

From getting out of bed to lifting your grandkids or carrying groceries up the stairs, your bones and muscles facilitate every move you make. When those movements become painful, it’s time to seek help.

At AdventHealth Tampa, our experienced orthopedic treatment teams specialize in the following areas:

• Elbow
• Foot and ankle
• Hand and wrist
• Hip
• Knee
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Shoulder
• Total joint

If joint pain has become a constant in your life, don’t despair. We can help ease your pain and guide you toward whole-person health that includes mobility, peace of mind and a brighter outlook.

You lead an active life, so when a fracture, tear or joint pain sidelines you, it's natural to feel frustrated. Let our orthopedic specialists get you back in the game. Using advanced X-rays, bone scans or ultrasounds, we’ll identify the source of your discomfort and discuss your best options for healing.

Our screenings and tests include:

• Bone scans, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans
• Computed tomography (CT) scans
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasounds
• X-rays

Once we locate the source of your pain, you can move forward with a plan in place. Our specialists will care for you in a supportive environment. We know it’s not easy to watch from the bench, so we’re here to help you work to regain your mobility and strength.

Whatever the cause of your body’s restrictions, you’re excited to reduce or eliminate them. We have a plan to get you there. Our orthopedic treatments and specialists can help relieve your joint pain, restore your movement, and rediscover your most powerful life. Sometimes, the treatment for joint pain can medication, physical therapy, or a combination of both. At other times, joint replacement or another orthopedic surgery might be the right answer. If that's the case, our orthopedic specialists are experts in the most minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries available. So you’ll get faster recovery times, less scarring, and a shorter hospital stay — no matter which procedure we decide on together. Our orthopedic treatments and procedures include:

• Arthroscopic Hip, Knee, Elbow, Wrist, and Ankle Surgeries
• Comprehensive Care for Total Joint Replacement Program
• Deformity Correction
• Hand Surgery
• Hip Replacement Surgery
• Joint Revisions
• Knee Ligament Repairs of ACL, PCL, and MPFL

Every day, we push ahead and lead the way toward better procedures and faster results for your total joint care. And we do it for you. Because we're always there to do all we can to restore your whole-person wellness.

AdventHealth Tampa participates in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. This is a payment model for care related to total knee and hip replacements under Medicare to support more efficient care coordination for patients undergoing common inpatient surgeries.

The CJR model pays providers under existing payment systems but holds hospitals responsible for the quality and costs from the initial procedure through 90 days after patient discharge. Through the CJR program, CMS expects improved coordination of care among hospitals, physicians and post-acute care providers — from surgery to recovery — to benefit patients and result in better outcomes and fewer complications.
