Every year, millions of people visit physician offices, clinics and emergency rooms for orthopedic conditions and injuries. As the population ages, treatment needs increase – especially for trauma and back and joint pain. Musculoskeletal disorders and diseases – those affecting bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints and other connective tissues – are the leading cause of physical disability in the U.S.

A Patient Story
“They treat you like you are the only person in the hospital,” said Terri Smith, a double knee replacement patient at Crisp Regional Hospital. “They stay with you from the time you arrive until you leave.”
Terri has friends who work at Crisp Regional, and she was thrilled to stay close to home for her two knee replacement surgeries. She was so pleased with her experience that she encouraged her sister to use Crisp services and physicians when it came time for her knee replacements.
“Dr. Littell has a special knee made for each person,” shared Terri. Lester Littell, MD, Terri’s orthopedist, is widely known for the customized total knee replacement system offered to patients and for his anterior approach to hip replacement surgery.
