Trauma of all types
ACL Reconstruction
Performed to replace a torn, nonfunctional knee ligament with the use of an arthroscope. Patients are home the same day and generally return to the highest level of sports in which they participated prior to injury.
Ankle Procedures
Multiple procedures, including arthroscopy, to treat ligament and cartilage injuries as well as Achilles tendon injuries.
Elbow and Hand
Many procedures to treat carpal tunnel syndrome; tendonitis of the hand, wrist and elbow; trauma and overuse injuries.
Hip Information
Hip Resurfacing Surgery
For a younger, more active patient, this may provide some advantage to return to higher levels of activity.
Knee Arthroscopy
A procedure using an arthroscope through two tiny incisions to perform many ligament and cartilage repairs allowing return to normal function. Done as an outpatient surgery after which the patient can often return to work in just a few days.
Kyphoplasty
A needle procedure performed under sedation to treat painful spinal bone fractures.
Less Invasive Spinal Fusion of the Low Back and Neck
Focused on multiple options in order to reduce surgical trauma and scarring, and minimize operative time and blood loss, yet continually focusing on procedures with clinical and biochemical proof of effectiveness.
Microlumbar Discectomy
Removing a part of the injured disc to relieve compression on a nerve—done through a 1-2cm incision under a microscope. This is done as an outpatient surgery.
Partial or Complete Laminectomy
Removing part or all of the back piece of a spinal bone to relieve compression on a nerve or the spinal cord—done through a 1-3cm incision under a microscope as an outpatient. Frequently used to treat spinal stenosis.
Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement
A specialized procedure to treat severe arthritis with poor rotator cuff function.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
A procedure to treat degenerative conditions or trauma to the tendons or joints of the shoulder, which is done through a magnified camera and 5mm incisions. This includes common rotator cuff tears.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
A highly complex device (similar to a pacemaker) implanted in the spine to help alleviate pain of a chronic nature.
The Rotator Cuff
Total Hip Replacement
A procedure to rid the hip joint of arthritis, reduce pain and improve function. Done through a less invasive approach and with the use of computer navigation to assist in evaluating leg length more accurately and reducing dislocations. This is also how revision hip surgery is done.
Total Knee Replacement
An implanted mechanical device to treat knee arthritis, which is done through a less invasive approach and with the use of computer navigation to assist in evaluating leg alignment, more accurate placement, and fit of implants to potentially last longer. This is also how revision knee surgery is done.
In traditional total knee replacement, the bottom of the femur and top of the tibia are replaced with a metal implant and plastic insert. The surgery has a high rate of success, but requires significant bone removal and sacrificing of ligaments. This can limit your future treatment options.
Total Knee Replacement procedures treat high deformity patients or patients with osteoarthritis in all three compartments of the knee.
