If you need a physician, orthopedic foot and ankle specialists near you on the medical staff at Baylor Scott & White medical centers across Texas can help get your feet on the treatment path that’s right for you.

Get ready to move better.

Hand and wrist

Your fingers, hands, wrists and elbows are integral in daily living.

With them you play music or sports, text your friends, work or hold hands with your loved ones.

While many upper extremity conditions can be treated through medication or rest, some may require surgery by an orthopedic specialist.

Hip preservation treatment

Hip preservation is an orthopedic treatment that preserves as much of your natural bone as possible while providing hip pain relief.

Whether hip pain is from a congenital condition or early osteoarthritis overuse, orthopedic surgeons trained in hip preservation treatment work to delay or prevent hip replacement surgery.

Joint wellness

Whether you or a loved one experience knee pain, hip pain or pain in a shoulder or ankle joint, with advances in technology and surgical procedures, you now have even more options for joint surgery. In addition to traditional approaches, Baylor Scott & White also offers several specialized procedures that help reduce joint replacement recovery time.

Joint wellness experts are able to treat your orthopedic joint pain from your shoulders to your ankles conservatively or, if necessary, by performing partial or total joint replacement surgery traditionally, through the anterior hip approach, one day post-operative discharges and even using robotic surgery*. We also offer total reverse shoulder replacement.

Sometimes knee replacement complications and other joint complications arise that require examination from a physician experienced in complex joints. If you’ve had a joint replaced but are experiencing knee pain, hip pain or instability, learn more about our complex joint revision services or search our orthopedic oncologists to make an appointment.

*Robotic joint replacement surgery is available at the following medical centers:

• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Austin
• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Hillcrest
• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - McKinney
• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple 
• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Waxahachie

Neck and back pain

Orthopedic spine physicians utilize a variety of services to relieve neck and back pain, including a physical therapist who can teach you strengthening exercises and improve your body mechanics.  Austin area residents may find relief from their neck or back pain through chiropractic care, a part of orthopedic services there. Other treatment options from orthopedic spine experts may involve medication, injections or spine surgery.

Orthopedic trauma

Falls and motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of trauma injury.

Trauma ratings at Baylor Scott & White range from Level I, which handles all cases of trauma to Level IV hospitals which provide advanced trauma life support before transferring patients to a higher level trauma facility.

Pediatric orthopedics

Whether your child experiences a sports injury from a game or a sports-like injury from roughhousing or has a congenital concern, we can help.

Shoulder pain

Bone spurs and rotator cuff issues are some common upper extremity conditions impacting active and sedentary lives.

Conservative treatment, like sports therapy, may not alleviate shoulder pain long-term.

When that happens, Baylor Scott & White Health not only offers a full array of orthopedic surgery procedures to correct conditions of the upper extremities, but we also feature procedures that are not widely available, such as reverse total shoulder replacement, revision shoulder surgery and revision shoulder replacement—often through current, minimally invasive techniques.

Sports medicine

Whether you’re an athlete or just living a full life, quick movement, body mechanics, overuse, poor posture or taking a misstep can do an "end-run" on your joints, tendons and ligaments, such as an ACL tear or ACL injury, and sometimes your brain by sustaining a concussion.
