Our Services

Our board certified physicians care for all types of musculoskeletal problems. These include arthritis, congenital and post-traumatic deformities, rotator cuff and shoulder instability, hip and knee ligament and cartilage injuries, ankle instability, and injuries to the wrists, elbows, feet and ankles.

We specialize in joint replacements. Although hip and knee replacements are most common, surgery can also be performed on other joints, including those of the foot, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, ankle and foot.

Our Program

Our surgeons have received international acclaim for excellence in total joint surgery as evidenced by a number of factors, including:

• An extensive database that tracks the success of our procedures and the replacement devices. We voluntarily collect this data, so we can continue to improve our procedures and processes. The database also allows us to maintain high levels of patient satisfaction and keep costs low.
• One of the lowest complication rates in the country.
• An ability to treat high-risk patients quickly and easily using the best medical specialists and resources. This includes new pain protocols and computer-assisted surgeries.
• Physician performance criteria to select and keep the best doctors.
• Fellowship-trained physicians who are leaders in developing new replacement components, as well as minimally invasive computer-assisted surgical techniques . Some of these breakthroughs are being used today, while others are still in the development stage.
• Greater access to clinical trials and new technologies.
• A pre- and post-operative physical therapy program which is proven to speed patients' recovery time.

More than 75 percent of new patients are referred to us by patients who are satisfied with the care, treatment and results they received at Clarian -- a key indicator of our success.

Returning to an Independent Lifestyle

A majority of patients decide to have joint replacement surgery to regain lost independence. At Clarian, helping patients get back to an independent way of living is our #1 priority.

Our Physicians

Clarian's total joint services offer the collective expertise of surgeons from Methodist Hospital and the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Orthopedics. This academic and research-based collaboration enhances our ability to care for and treat patients.

All of our physicians are board certified. Many are recognized leaders in the field, who are pioneering new technologies, more effective joint replacement devices and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Our physicians travel nationally and internationally to speak about their contributions to advances in the field of orthopedic surgery. They also consult with orthopedic device manufacturers to develop new prosthetic components. In addition, our physicians are involved with various professional academies and societies.

Our Team Approach

At Clarian, patients are treated and cared for by a team of specialists. Our orthopedic surgeons work together with nurses, physical and occupational therapists, physician consultants and social workers to ensure patients receive the best care possible. From medical testing and consultation before surgery to rehabilitation services upon returning home, Clarian's total joint services, as part of Clarian Human Motion, offer comprehensive care.
