Our staff includes specialists in a number of areas of Orthopaedic Medicine. Our areas of expertise include: Foot & Ankle Surgery Foot and Ankle Surgeons treat diseases, injuries, and other disorders of the foot and ankle. Surgical procedures may be used to correct conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, and soft-tissue benign tumors, as well as problems concerning nerves and tendons. Hand Surgery Hand surgery deals with conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (from the tip of the hand to the shoulder). Conditions treated by a hand surgeon include immediate care of an injury, treatment of old or chronic injuries, arthritis, infection, growths and tumors. Hand surgeons may also treat conditions related to nerves and tendons. Microsurgery may be used for hand reconstruction, as well as reattachment of amputated parts Joint Replacement Joint replacement is a surgical procedure to remove and replace an arthritic or damaged joint with an artificial joint. The goal of joint replacement is to ease pain and restore motion to joints damaged by disease or injury. Joint replacement surgery is a reliable and routine treatment for arthritis of the hip, knee and shoulder. Hip and knee replacements are the most common joint replacement procedures. However, joint replacement can be performed on other joints, including the ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow and fingers. .Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy Arthroscopy allows diagnosis and treatment of knee and shoulder disorders by providing a clear view of the inside of the joint, using an arthroscope inserted through small incisions. The arthroscope transmits an image of your knee through a small camera to a TV monitor, which allows the surgeon to examine the interior of your knee and determine the source of the problem. During the procedure, the surgeon can also remove or repair damaged tissues by inserting surgical instruments through other small incisions. Pain Management Pain Management is the evaluation and treatment of pain. Treatment can take a variety of different paths, such as: stopping or changing the factors that cause pain, taking medication by mouth or injection, physical therapy, or treating psychological factors as well as physical factors. Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery is a sub-specialty of Orthopaedic Surgery that treats orthopaedic problems in children and adolescents. Since a child's bones and muscles are still growing and developing, they often have very different types of orthopaedic problems than adults do. Pediatric Orthopaedic specialists take care to repair conditions in a way that ensures continued healthy growth. Spine Surgery Many patients with back problems can be successfully treated using non-surgical methods, such as physical therapy, medication and activity restrictions. However, some conditions require spine surgery for complete correction. Types of spinal surgery include stabilizing procedures, decompressive procedures, exploratory procedures, and procedures related to spinal cord stimulators. Sports Medicine Sports medicine is a broadly used designation for treatment of injuries to individuals of all ages and participation levels during athletic activities. Sports medicine includes a number of professions that work closely with the athletically active population. These professions include Orthopedic Surgeons, Athletic Training, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Exercise Physiology, and more. Sports medicine is multi-disciplinary, and Sports Medicine Specialists deal with the physiological, biomechanical, psychological, and pathological effects of exercise and sports. |
