Outpatient partial and total joint replacements 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.

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.

Testimonials

"I don’t struggle with steps anymore. When the senior adults I work with expressed concern for me traversing up and down steps, I knew it was time for action. Just four weeks apart, Dr. Mehrle replaced both of my knees. For me the experience was wonderful. Why lay in a hospital when you can be at home in familiar surroundings and at a slow pace? Other than my initial entrance into my home, my wife was able to care for me. The process just worked for me. And for my insurance company, too! They preferred it. The outpatient setting is more like a doctor’s visit; it’s simple from the patient perspective. The staff made sure I was well-informed about what to expect, and it made a difference. Today, I’m in the gym. I run, water-ski, and even jump rope. I take Dr. Mehrle at his word that I can do whatever I want. I’m free."

"Having hip replacement surgery was the best choice I have ever made. It takes time and effort to heal, but I returned to the active lifestyle I love. I worked very hard at my physical therapy, icing, and honored the restrictions. I knew that it was a crucial element and up to me! Dr. Almand and the entire staff are great, and were all there for me before, during, and after surgery! My hip had arthritis and over time as it worsened, it affected my daily routine. I would be outside after work to walk a few miles, but not for six months before my surgery. Getting on and off my horse was extremely painful. After surgery, I used my love of horses as motivation. At six weeks, Dr. Almand said I could ease into riding. I used a step to get on and off the horse, but at eight weeks I was competing on my cutting horse “Rocker”! Today, I’m motivated, blessed and happy."
LeiAnn Waters, Age 52
 

ROBOT-ASSISTED SURGERY

ROSA is the nation’s best surgical navigation aide, and Mississippi Sports Medicine was the first in the country to use it.

Our joint specialists also offer ROSA® Robotic Knee Replacement, a cutting-edge procedure that uses real-time data and 3D mapping to enhance surgical precision. This technology allows for a more customized implant fit, reduced soft tissue trauma, and improved joint function—helping patients experience a smoother recovery and more natural knee movement.

In 2019, 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.

“It 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,” said Dr. Trevor Pickering, the first orthopedic surgeon to use ROSA in the country.
