OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital’s Joint Replacement Program is Top Notch

Did you know that OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital’s joint replacement program is nationally recognized? The OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital’s orthopedic joint replacement program was recognized as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades® for Joint Replacement in 2019.

OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital performed the area’s first robotic-assisted total knee replacement. Having this level of care available in Mansfield saves patients a trip to Cleveland or Columbus, and keeps them close to their support system. Robotic-assisted total knee surgery is a minimally invasive treatment option for adults living with knee pain that interrupts their daily life. The process begins with a CT scan of the patient’s knee, which is used to create a 3D virtual model of the knee. This model allows the Matthew Bernhard, MD to develop a plan before the actual surgery even takes place.

In the operating room, the robotic-assisted surgical technology helps the surgeon achieve extreme precision. “Having the ability to make adjustments within a millimeter is a huge win for the patient. Plus, minimally invasive surgery can offer faster healing than traditional surgery and gets patients back to their lives sooner,” says Dr. Bernhard.
