We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
Knee and hip problems don’t have to hold you back: There’s a minimally invasive option to help relieve knee and hip pain. Saint Francis Hospital-Memphis is the first in Memphis to offer the Mako partial and total knee applications.
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery is a minimally invasive joint replacement surgery technique for adults with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis. Mako is performed
using a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system. This system enables the surgeon to create a customized surgery plan that includes optimized implant positioning using a CT scan of the patient’s knee. During the surgery, the surgeon
uses feedback from the robotic arm to make real-time adjustments for a more accurate and successful surgery.
Compared to traditional knee and hip replacement surgery, the Mako system potentially offers:
Reduced pain
Minimal hospitalization
More rapid recovery
Less implant wear and loosening
Smaller scar
Better motion and a more natural feeling knee
