Hip and Knee Clinic
At the Central Alberta Hip and Knee Clinic we provide surgical and non-surgical management for patients with osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis of the hip and knee. We adhere to the Bone and Joint Health Strategic Clinical Network Hip and Knee pathway and are committed to providing care that meets and exceeds the accepted standard of care.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical management of hip and knee arthritis.
With regards to non-surgical management, we offer a comprehensive array of image-guided articular and peri-articular injections through our Ultrasound Guided Injection Clinic. We also offer consultations regarding non-invasive management of hip and knee arthritis through our MSK Physician Assessment Clinic.
We also offer surgical management of arthritis and our surgeons are all high-volume arthroplasty surgeons. Our surgeons each also have their own areas of interest and expertise so we also offer some minimally-invasive and partial joint replacement options. As part of the Hip and Knee Pathway, our patients are assigned a Case Manager and are offered support and teaching every step of the way.
In an effort to decrease our wait times for appointments, we have started a new initiative - the Hip and Knee Screening Clinics. Here, patients are assessed by an experienced member of our team to better determine how severe their symptoms are, how patients have responded to non-surgical management as well as whether they are ready for surgery. Based on this assessment, patients will be assigned to the best fit practitioner. This will not delay access to surgery if needed.
Please note that Central Alberta Orthopedics DOES NOT offer consultations for isolated labral tears of the hip. Patients with such should be referred to the appropriate surgeon in Calgary or Edmonton.
We are accepting referrals from physicians and nurse practitioners.
When we receive your referral, it will be triaged by one of our experienced surgeons to the best practitioner and urgency level.
