Orthopedics

Knees, Shoulders, Hips, and more

Whether your orthopedic surgery is planned or unexpected, Samaritan’s surgical team and Dr. Billy Thompson are ready to care for you. Orthopedics involves the musculoskeletal system, which includes muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Conditions could include musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, and more.

Dr. Billy Thompson, an on-staff orthopedic surgeon, is fellowship-trained in sports medicine with a second fellowship in shoulder surgery. He has specialized expertise in shoulder and upper arm surgeries, and has additional experience in hip, knee, and other joint replacement surgeries, as well as ACL and rotator cuff procedures. Previously, he served as an orthopedic surgeon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has maintained a keen interest in helping patients regain their active lifestyles – on and off the field.

We also have a state-of-the-art HANA surgical table to position the patient’s body for orthopedic surgery, such as an anterior hip replacement, which allows the surgeon to replace the hip through a single, short incision without detaching the muscle from the pelvis or femur.

If you are ready to enjoy life without joint pain, schedule an appointment by calling 509-793-9770.
