From advanced surgical interventions to conservative treatment approaches, our comprehensive orthopedic services address the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions affecting patients throughout their lives.
The most common indication for hip replacement surgery, osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage in the hip joint wears away, causing bone-on-bone contact that results in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our specialists use advanced imaging and clinical assessment to determine the optimal timing and approach for surgical intervention.
Hip fractures, particularly in older adults, require immediate and expert surgical intervention. Our trauma-trained surgeons specialize in femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures, utilizing the most appropriate fixation methods or joint replacement techniques based on fracture pattern and patient factors.
Also known as osteonecrosis, this condition occurs when blood supply to the hip joint is compromised, leading to bone death and eventual joint collapse. Early detection and intervention are crucial for preserving joint function and preventing the need for more extensive surgical procedures.
Our surgeons are experts in the direct anterior approach to hip replacement, which involves accessing the hip joint through the front of the hip rather than the side or back. This minimally invasive technique offers numerous advantages including reduced tissue damage, faster recovery, and improved long-term stability.
We utilize advanced computer navigation and robotic-assisted technologies to enhance the precision of implant placement, optimize joint mechanics, and improve long-term outcomes. These technologies allow for personalized surgical planning and real-time guidance during the procedure.
For younger patients with hip conditions, we offer joint preservation procedures including hip arthroscopy, periacetabular osteotomy, and femoroacetabular impingement correction to delay or prevent the need for joint replacement surgery.
Our total knee replacement procedures utilize the latest implant technologies and surgical techniques to restore function and eliminate pain in patients with severe knee arthritis. We specialize in both traditional and minimally invasive approaches.
For patients with arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee, partial knee replacement offers a less invasive alternative with faster recovery and better preservation of natural knee function.
Complex revision procedures for failed or worn knee replacements require specialized expertise and advanced techniques. Our surgeons have extensive experience in managing these challenging cases.
Our shoulder specialists utilize both arthroscopic and open techniques for rotator cuff repair, depending on the size and location of the tear. We employ advanced suture anchor techniques and biological augmentation when appropriate to optimize healing.
From traditional total shoulder replacement to reverse shoulder arthroplasty, we offer the full spectrum of shoulder replacement options for patients with arthritis, fractures, or massive rotator cuff tears.
Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures for labral tears, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, and other shoulder conditions allow for faster recovery and excellent outcomes.
Our sports medicine program provides comprehensive care for athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to professional competitors. We understand the unique demands of athletic performance and focus on getting athletes back to their sport safely and quickly.
