Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Round Rock offers one-day joint replacement discharge for eligible patients undergoing total hip or total knee replacement surgery.

Patients recovering from bone and joint diseases and injuries frequently participate in rehabilitation to improve strength and increase range of motion. The goal is to return the patient to his or her highest level of function.

Physicians on the Baylor Scott & White medical staff who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation, oversee this phase of the patient’s recovery as one of the final steps in his or her continuum of care. From the moment a bone or joint patient enters our doors, the entire care team is collaborating to plan for optimum outcomes and discharge home. The rehab team includes:

• Physical therapists
• Occupational therapists
• Hand therapists
• Dietitians
• Orthotics/prosthetics specialists
• Athletic trainers

When it comes to back pain and neck pain, orthopedics, neurologists, neurosurgeons and spine specialists treat a wide array of spine ailments, including:

Our Hand Clinic treats diseases and injuries that cause pain and impair the strength, function and flexibility of hands, wrists and fingers.

Orthopedic surgeons on our medical staff with expertise in these complex hand and wrist procedures treat carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Dupuytren's contracture (a disabling hand disorder in which thick, scar-like tissue bands form within the palm and may extend into the fingers) and other problems.

The Center also offers an extensive hand therapy program where specially trained occupational therapists help hand surgery patients regain strength and range of motion.

Baylor Scott & White employs Doctors of Chiropractic in an effort to lead a progressive, non-surgical treatment approach to pain and musculoskeletal conditions. Working in conjunction with the departments of Surgery and Medicine, our chiropractors perform a complete history and physical examination prior to establishing an appropriate treatment plan. Our providers collaborate closely with their patients’ medical teams to support coordination of care.
