“When my husband founded the Franklin Bone & Joint Clinic in 1979, patients were not a number and employees were not just someone who worked for you—they were, and are, family,” said Lorraine Ferrell, widow of the late founder. “That mindset and the culture my husband instilled in the practice is why they have been so successful in the past, and I support the partnership with Williamson Medical Center. I believe this is a step in the right direction because they, too, share those core values.”

We know bone and joint injuries can severely impact your everyday life. Whether you’re suffering from a fracture, dislocation, sprain, muscle or joint pain, our orthopaedic specialists are here to help. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized treatment to help you get back to the things that matter most. We offer a variety of nonsurgical treatment options, such as casts, injections, paraffin wax dips, therapy services and more for many orthopaedic or sports-related conditions. While many fractures, breaks or other injuries may heal on their own, some require surgical intervention. We have the latest in diagnostic and surgical capabilities to pinpoint and treat any fracture, and will develop a comprehensive treatment plan to take you from diagnosis to recovery. For more information or to schedule an appointment with the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee, call 615-791-2630.

When hip and knee pain becomes more than an occasional annoyance, specialists from the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee are here to help. Using advanced tissue sparing treatment options for total hip replacement (anterior approach and posterior approach) as well as partial knee and total knee replacement surgery, our team will create a customized care plan to help relieve pain and restore mobility. Joint replacement surgery is a highly effective way of eliminating pain, correcting a deformity and helping improve mobility. Joint replacement is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is our multifaceted treatment plan. We offer patients an advanced, personalized approach to surgery that includes education, physical therapy/occupational therapy, injections and ongoing support. Our surgeons utilize the most advanced technology, including the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery and MakoSmart Robotics. This technology allows more precise incisions, more careful soft tissue handling resulting in less recovery time and better function for the patient. Not sure if joint replacement is right for you? Want to explore surgical AND nonsurgical options?
