Outpatient partial and total joint replacementsĀ are now available for hips and knees. Our surgeons perform more partial and total knee and hip replacements than all other orthopaedic surgeons in the state combined.
Ā
Our patients are primarily from Mississippi, but patients from all over the Southeast, including Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana also select our doctors. Some of our patients are referred by family or friends and others by their primary care physicians or specialists.

In recent years, advanced techniques and technologies have revolutionized knee and hip replacements allowing more arthritis patients to consider treatments at an earlier time. In many cases, when traditional treatments are not effective, hip and/or knee replacement surgery may be appropriate to stop the pain, increase mobility, and allow a more normal life.

Great advancements have been made in recent years in hip replacement surgery. Perhaps the greatest breakthroughs have been regarding advanced implant materials and much better hip surface bearings. Better hip surface bearings greatly reduce wear which significantly increases the life and longevity of the hip replacement. According to laboratory data, scientists now feel that hip replacements today may last a lifetime.

Minimally invasive and muscle sparing operative techniques, as well as, peri-operative multimodal pain management regimens give our patients minimal pain after surgery and allow for an easier and faster recovery. In addition to faster recovery, there may be potential benefits such as less bleeding and smaller scars for improved cosmetics.
Ā
We offer the latest and best approaches in hip replacement combining the precision and accuracy of computer-assisted technology with our surgical skills. We offer computer navigated āmini-incision posteriorā hip replacement and anterior hip replacement. With both of these approaches to hip replacement, no muscle is cut, no post-operative hip precautions and patients are mobile the day of surgery. Both approaches also help restore equal leg lengths, normal anatomical position of the new implants, and are equal in their reduced recovery time.

Knee replacement surgery, in recent years, has seen advancements in implant materials, rotating knee bearings, gender-specific knee designs, computer-assisted surgery (CAS), multimodal peri-operative pain control, minimally invasive muscle sparing surgery and partial knee replacements.
Ā
Minimally invasive and muscle sparing operative techniques as well as peri-operative pain management regimens give our patients minimal postoperative pain and allow for an easier and faster recovery. In addition to faster recovery, there may be potential benefits such as less bleeding and smaller scars for improved cosmetics. Computer-assisted placement of the prosthesis offers visual mapping to aid decision-making before and throughout the knee replacement operation through a combination of precision computer technology with our surgical skills.
Ā
We offer Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) or partial knee replacements to patients who have degenerative arthritis isolated to one area of the knee. This procedure preserves two-thirds of the patientās natural, healthy knee tissue.

ROSA, our surgical robot, is programmed to create certain movements, which is called surgical navigation, to aid in surgery. Your surgeon is still in control, but the navigation system, and its complementary software, allows your surgeon to align the bones and joint implants with exact measurements not permitted with the naked eye, reduce redundancy in your surgeon's repetitive actions, and also decrease the time needed in the operating room.

The Surgery Center at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center was the first in the nation to use ROSA to perform outpatient knee replacement surgery.
āIt is really nice having that extra set of eyes, even if it is computerized, during the surgery. It makes sure everything is specific and precisely done,ā said Dr. Trevor Pickering.
ROSA is a piece of cutting edge technology that is revolutionizing the way doctors perform surgery, and itās available at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Centers' Surgery Center.
In 2019, Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center was the only center in the country to carry the machine and Dr. Pickering was the first orthopedic surgeon to put it to use.
āROSA is a robotic arm that is connected to a very complex computer," the doctor explained. "I can put information into the computer before the surgery so ROSA will assist me during the surgery.ā
