Orthopedics — What is it?
When people think of orthopedics, they often think of hip surgery or broken limbs that need to be fixed. While these are often what patients see an orthopedist for, the specialty offers so much more.
The orthopedic specialty encompasses the entire musculoskeletal system. Our bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments all work together to offer our bodies stability, range of motion, and structure for our other physical systems.
Breakdowns happen whether by accident, overuse, or long-term wear and tear — and this is where orthopedic specialists can assist.
Our orthopedic program helps patients heal and return to a quality of life with the support of other high-quality Haywood Regional Medical Center services including lab, imaging, diagnostic testing, sports medicine services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training.
Joint Camp
Haywood Regional Medical Center offers a joint replacement program, Joint Camp, that provides a team-focused approach educating patients about what will occur before, during and after joint replacement surgery. The center integrates efforts between patient and family, the surgeon, pre-op, the operating room, anesthesia, nursing, physical and occupational therapy and pharmacy, to provide a quality experience for joint replacement patients. The result of this integration is increased efficiency and better patient outcomes and satisfaction. Our Joint Camp program allows Haywood County to receive best-in-class joint replacement without having to travel far from home.
