Surgery Day

If you require surgery to correct an Orthopaedic disorder, our staff will explain the operative procedure, the recovery process and the type of rehabilitation program you will need. Our surgeons operate at Ascension St. John Broken Arrow with limited surgeries at other facilities on a case-by-case basis for insurance purposes. All surgical facilities are carefully vetted and selected by our surgeons to ensure they are equipped with the most advanced instrumentation and equipment available to promote the best possible patient outcomes.
