Persons recovering from orthopedic injuries, ranging from multiple trauma to joint replacements, hip, knee and pelvic fractures, and amputations, require specialized, comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services to achieve their maximum potential.

Inpatient Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Admission Criteria: Many patient candidates for inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation are of advanced age. Health concerns associated with aging may prevent the orthopedic surgery patient from returning home safely.

Our skilled staff is trained to care for the orthopedic surgery patient with other concerns such as high blood pressure, history of stroke, cardiac disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, age-related de-conditioning, and/or arthritis. Of course, patients with less serious health considerations may still be appropriate for an inpatient program.

Other inpatient candidates may include younger patients with multiple bone fractures or complicated fractures, such as those to the pelvis.

During inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation, each patient works to return to his or her desired level of independence through improved strength, improved joint range of motion, assisted or unassisted walking, self-care training and pain management. Team members work with patients to meet these goals while managing medical problems and gauging progress.

Patients enrolled in our inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation program may stay as little as five full days. Again, the length of stay for individual patients varies according to their own health and safety needs. 

Follow-Up

The benefits of rehabilitation do not stop after a patient has successfully demonstrated improved function. Patients may have some form of long-term disability or simply may be of advanced age. These patients often have unique care needs. Our Orthopedic Rehabilitation program provides individuals and families with continued access to a team of expert rehabilitation professionals. This team provides a variety of services to help patients regain or maintain function.
