Joint Replacement

Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville has created a special program that brings together a team of experienced and skilled surgeons with caring and specially-trained nurses, therapists and technicians. The goal is to provide seamless, coordinated care, and get you back to your favorite activities as soon as possible.

Dedicated Place, Dedicated People
Within the hospital, we have created a special area just to care for knee and hip replacement patients. No hospital gowns for this crowd – you get to wear your own clothes! And family members are encouraged to participate in group activities, meals and other special events. Exercise and therapy are also provided in a group setting, so that patients can support and encourage each other on the road to recovery. New friendships are made, enhancing the healing process.

Staff is hand-picked for their positive attitudes, motivational skills and their desire to provide outstanding service. In addition, they have been specially trained to provide clinical care for patients undergoing these important surgeries.

Patient Matched Technology for Knee Replacement Surgery
If you are considering knee replacement surgery, ask your surgeon if you are a candidate for patient matched technology. This new technology uses your own images (MRI and X-ray) to design and build patient matched instrumentation/implants customized specifically for your unique anatomy. This instrumentation will help your surgeon achieve a more optimal implant alignment, potentially reducing your recovery time from the surgery and reducing the wear on the implant.

Education
We believe the key to better outcomes is a commitment to provide you with a thorough understanding and knowledge of what to expect during your surgical experience. Knowing what to expect each step of the way goes a long way to reducing stress and anxiety and preparing you for as smooth a recovery as possible.

The information you receive prior to your surgery includes:

Engaging community outreach seminars
An informative pre-op class for patients and family
A patient guidebook
Daily newsletters while in  the hospital
Educational displays answering the most frequently asked questions
