Orthopedic Care in Wesley Chapel

We know how frustrating joint pain, stiffness or injuries can be, and we're here to help uncover the cause of your discomfort. We use diagnostic tests and screenings like:

• Bone scans, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans

Safe and Proven Surgical Care

If surgery is your best next step, know that our orthopedic surgeons perform minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries that mean a shorter recovery time and less pain and scarring.

AdventHealth Wesley Chapel participates in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. The program is a new payment model being tested for episodes of care related to total knee and total hip replacements under Medicare, to support better and more efficient care coordination for patients undergoing the most common inpatient surgeries.

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

Below is a list of current and historical Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement collaborators as of Q3/2023.

Your hip and knees are in good hands here. Our skilled orthopedic surgeons use the latest robotic technology to help you feel better faster.

Mako™ Robotic arm-assisted technology - experience treatment that relieves your joint pain while significantly reducing the risks and recovery times associated with traditional open surgery. This technology offers you the prospect of less hospital time and fewer complications than traditional surgery options. With the assistance of this robotic technology, our skilled surgeons can complete procedures with greater precision and via very small incisions, meaning a safer experience with fewer scars and a faster recovery.

OMNIBotics^® Robotic-assisted total knee replacement - a state-of-the-art procedure that combines patented technology with robotic instrumentation to help surgeons place and fit implants with greater accuracy compared to conventional approaches. Much like we rely on GPS to help us get to our destination, robotic-assisted knee surgery maps out the precise positioning for the implant according to your individual anatomy.

By using advanced robotic technology for your hip or knee replacement, we can greatly reduce your pain, scarring, and recovery time, as compared to traditional joint replacement surgery.

Some benefits of robotic technology for knee surgery include:

• Reduced pain during recovery
• Increased patient satisfaction
• Stability in regular daily activities
• More precise resurfacing of only the arthritic portion of the knee
• Preservation of healthy knee tissue and bone
• Facilitation of optimal implant positioning to result in a more natural-feeling knee following surgery
• Quicker recovery and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional total knee replacement surgery

Some benefits of robotic technology for total hip replacement include:

• Accurate placement of your hip implant using the surgeon-controlled robotic arm system, which can reduce the likelihood of hip dislocation
• More consistency in leg length, potentially decreasing the need for a shoe lift
• Decreased risk of the implant and bone abnormally rubbing together, which may improve the lifetime of the implant

We understand there’s a lot to consider when beginning treatment, but our physicians are here to talk you through the options and help determine if any of these procedures are right for you.
