The benefits of coordinated orthopedic care from diagnosis to recovery
Joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis and other orthopedic conditions can affect nearly every part of daily life.
Whether you're struggling to climb stairs, stay active with your family or perform routine tasks without discomfort, finding the right care can feel overwhelming.
But when healthcare services work together, you can spend less time navigating the healthcare system and more time focusing on recovery.
Through CHRISTUS Health, you have access to:
- Orthopedic specialists across the CHRISTUS Health network
- Hospitals, imaging and rehabilitation services that support recovery
- Coordinated care across multiple stages of treatment
Support before, during and after treatment
It is easy to think orthopedic care begins and ends with a procedure. However, successful outcomes often depend on the care you receive before and after treatment, as well as everything in between.
Your care journey may include:
- Orthopedic consultations
- Diagnostic imaging
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Joint replacement, other surgical procedures or non-surgical treatments
- Follow-up care to support recovery
Recent data from CHRISTUS Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute in Tyler showed that follow-up visits occur more than four times as often as new patient visits, highlighting the importance of continued care throughout recovery.
The goal is to help you move more comfortably, reduce pain and return to the activities you enjoy after the procedure. Coordinated care helps connect these services, so you experience a smoother path from diagnosis through recovery.

Advanced technology designed to support your recovery
At select CHRISTUS locations, you have access to:
- Robotic-assisted joint replacement technology

- Advanced imaging services
Orthopedic surgeons use MAKO robotic-assisted technology and computer navigation systems to help enhance precision during hip and knee replacement procedures at CHRISTUS locations in Tyler, Sulphur Springs, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Longview, New Braunfels, San Antonio and Alamogordo, New Mexico.
These tools offer greater accuracy, which leads to smoother recovery and better movement after your surgery.
Convenient access to multiple services in one location
Recovery from an orthopedic injury, sports medicine condition or joint replacement often involves more than one healthcare professional. You may need to see a surgeon, attend physical therapy, complete imaging exams and participate in rehabilitation throughout your recovery.
Some CHRISTUS locations help simplify that experience by bringing multiple services together in one place.
In Tyler and Longview, Texas, you have access to orthopedic specialists, rehabilitation services, imaging, sports medicine resources and advanced joint replacement technology within a dedicated orthopedic institute.
