Seminar on advanced knee replacement program hosted by HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital
HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital has recently been recognized as a Joint Commission Center of Excellence in Knee and Hip Replacements.
TAMPA, FL — HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital is proud to have hosted its first seminar on its advanced Knee Replacement program, designed to offer patients the latest minimally invasive treatment options and a faster recovery process. This program is part of the hospital's ongoing commitment to enhancing patient care and improving outcomes for individuals suffering from knee arthritis and other debilitating knee conditions.
Dr. Jonathan Dattilo, a joint replacement specialist on staff at Pasadena Hospital, explains that the program features a range of innovative treatment options, including both minimally invasive total knee replacements and outpatient surgery options. Patients who undergo knee replacement at Pasadena Hospital can expect:
- Minimally Invasive Techniques: Reduced recovery time and minimized scarring, allowing for quicker return to daily activities.
- Outpatient Surgery: Enabling patients to recover in the comfort of their own homes, with reduced risk of infection and faster rehabilitation.
- Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Enhanced precision in surgery, leading to better alignment, reduced pain and improved long-term outcomes.
The program is designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront, emphasizing pre-surgery rehabilitation, known as "pre-hab," to better prepare patients for their surgery and recovery journey. This approach includes:
- Multimodal Pain Management: Utilizing regional anesthesia, nerve blocks and non-narcotic pain medications to minimize discomfort and promote early mobility.
- Personalized Recovery Plans: Tailored rehabilitation programs that focus on regaining strength and range of motion and returning to the activities patients love.
"It is a privilege to work alongside the outstanding nurses, therapists, administrators, and physicians who provide such wonderful care to our patients at HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital,” said Dr. Jonathan Dattilo. “As a Joint Commission Center of Excellence, we can provide the latest techniques and technology to our patients undergoing hip and knee replacement."
Pasadena Hospital’s Knee Replacement program focuses on immediate post-operative care and long-term outcomes. Thanks to advancements in biologic fixation and improved implant materials, patients can expect long-lasting results with modern implants designed for longevity.
