Patient InformationOur Qualifications for Performing Total Hip ReplacementsTotal hip replacement is considered by many the most successful surgical procedure in orthopaedics. It produces a new hip joint which functions in a very similar manner to the normal anatomic hip and is relatively painless. More importantly, it allows a return to activity and a freedom from limitation, which are gratifying to patients, families, and surgeons alike. While the idea of now having an artificial hip joint is intimidating to some individuals, it is one of the safest and most effective medical procedures to maintain freedom from pain and to achieve your desired outcome of personal independence so critical to you.Bertram Total Joint Centers has been performing Total Hip Replacements longer than any other orthopaedic group in Southwest Florida. The staff of the group is considered among the finest orthopaedic surgeons. People come from a wide geographic area to seek surgery and consultations for the same kind of surgery you are considering now. Though most hospitals and surgeons perform few joint replacements, these operations are almost routine at Bertram Total Joint Centers. A large number of primary (first time) and revision (second and third time) operations are performed each year in a professional, controlled setting. Our surgeons have received national recognition for the development of our joint replacement program and have been instrumental in the development and investigation of new devices for joint replacement surgery.
