Orthopedic Surgery
ECHN provides a wide range of orthopedic services to address musculoskeletal injury and disease to the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and connective tissue. The goal of ECHN’s orthopedic services is to help patients improve their ability to move, work and be active.
When to Seek Medical Treatment
If you are experiencing daily pain or discomfort in your joints, muscles, or bones and it is limiting daily function or causing pain and discomfort during athletic activity, you should consider seeking an orthopedic consultation.
ECHN’s orthopedic specialists will examine the area of concern and determine the best course of action. Our specialists provide both non-surgical and surgical treatment options that focus on pain reduction, proper healing and restoration of physical movement.
Orthopedic Surgery Services
Surgical Precision
Many orthopedic conditions can be treated successfully with a non-surgical approach, but in the event surgical intervention is required, ECHN offers orthopedic surgical services that are performed by a multidisciplinary team of highly-trained and highly-skilled surgeons who work closely with you throughout your orthopedic care journey.
MAKO, short for MAKOplasty, is state-of-the-art robotic arm-assisted technology being used at ECHN for patients in need of partial knee resurfacing or total hip replacement.
This cutting-edge technology enables surgeons to have a more accurate pre-operative plan by providing a patient-specific 3D model of the hip or knee.
During surgery, the surgeon guides the robotic arm based on the patient’s personalized pre-operative plan that is loaded into the MAKO system software. Therefore, surgeons can also receive real-time intraoperative feedback and have greater precision to remove and replace only the diseased bone, helping to preserve healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it.
Non-Surgical Service Offerings
ECHN takes a multidisciplinary approach to addressing patients’ musculoskeletal pain in the most minimally invasive ways possible. We offer the following non-surgical treatment options:

Joint Effort Program

In this program, our staff explains in detail day-of-surgery procedures, recovery care options, pain management and the rehabilitation process. Caregivers who will be assisting a loved one in their after-surgery recovery are encouraged to also attend.
