Cabrini's
Total Joint Replacement Program is designed to give
prospective patients the ability to make informed decisions
before surgery.
Patients can view an actual surgery, examine prosthetic
equipment, meet with orthopedic specialists, and in
short, are involved and informed about their own surgery.
Cabrini is one of only two hospitals in New York City
to offer total hip replacement surgery, using the latest
techniques including new technology that minimizes blood
loss by transfusing it back into the patient through
a filtered sterile system.
Hip and knee replacement surgery is performed in new
laminar flow surgical suites, that provide a self-contained,
ultra-clean air system, designed to maximize sterile
conditions and minimize risk of infection.
Cabrini also uses the latest surgical suites, equipment
and techniques to perform surgery of the spine, hands
and feet, as well as reconstructive and arthroscopic
knee, shoulder and ankle surgery.
After surgery patients are usually moved to our 25-bed
inpatient Rehab
Unit.
