In cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system appears to go awry and attacks healthy parts of the body, particularly the joints. In severe rheumatoid arthritis, the joints become deformed and intern organs are adversely affected.

- MammographyUnder the direction of community, medical and religious leaders, Trinity Hospital of Augusta opened as St. Joseph Hospital in 1952 with only 110 beds. The Catholic hospital quickly grew to more than 231 beds and became known for pioneering many medical firsts, including cochlear hearing implants, stereotactic mammography, and a unique treatment program for hip and knee replacements.

- ArthroscopyArthroscopy: Arthroscopic procedures are not generally helpful for arthritis. In some case, a “flap” of torn knee cartilage can aggravate arthritis and cause additional pain. The cartilage flap can be removed by arthroscopy.
- Joint ReplacementKnee or Hip Replacement: Total joint replacement is the most commonly used surgical procedure for patients with advanced osteoarthritis. The rough, worn surfaces of the joint are relined with smooth-surfaced metal and plastic components.
- Arthroscopy
- Hip ReplacementWith a shorter recovery period, this specialized minimally invasive approach to hip replacement allows patients to return to their daily lifestyle faster than with most traditional approaches.
- Knee ReplacementHaving a joint replacement doesn't mean you can't be active. In fact, you should be active, says the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Check with your health care provider before choosing an activity, because some forms of exercise may be better for your replacement joint than others. Joint pain can be caused by damage done to the cartilage from arthritis, infection, inflammation or trauma. The specialists in the Orthopedic Department at Trinity Hospital of Augusta perform a wide range of orthopedic services. Our talented and trained staff provides care for joint injuries and pain and treats patients for diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and more. In addition, our staff performs surgical orthopedic procedures including arthroscopic surgery, unicondylar knee replacements and total hip and knee replacement.

During the early and middle stages, a treatment program of medicines, cortisone shots, ice treatments, exercise, and physical therapy can be very effective in reducing symptoms and improving mobility.
