Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Orthopedic hand surgery is a specialized field focused on treating injuries, diseases, and congenital defects of the hand, wrist, and forearm, including bones, tendons, nerves, and ligaments.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to examine and treat joint structures using a small, lighted camera called an arthroscope. It is commonly performed on joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA), or total hip replacement, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged, arthritic, or diseased hip joint with artificial components—a prosthetic ball and socket. It is designed to relieve severe chronic pain, improve mobility, and restore function. The damaged femoral head is replaced with a metal stem and ball, while the socket is replaced with a metal cup and liner.

Shoulder surgery can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including: rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, shoulder replacement, shoulder reconstruction, acromioclavicular joint repair.

Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged knee joint with an artificial joint. It's usually performed when other treatments have not been effective in relieving pain and disability.

Foot and ankle care is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Podiatrists are doctors who specialize in this area and can treat a wide range of conditions, including: Ingrown toenails, Diabetes, Broken bones, Sprains, Achilles tendon issues, Plantar fasciitis, Bunions, Heel pain, and Neuromas.

Podiatrists can also perform surgery, order lab tests, prescribe medicine, and suggest mobility aids.

Sports medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to sports and physical activity. It combines medical knowledge with exercise science to optimize performance and minimize the risk of injury.

Fracture care is the management of broken bones, from the initial treatment to the recovery process. It involves a variety of steps, including: first aid, support, pain management, surgery, recovery.

Sports injuries can affect the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues of the body.

Tendonitis is a condition that occurs when a tendon becomes inflamed or swollen, causing pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the joint.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers.

A rotator cuff tear is a tear in the muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place.

Pediatric injuries, or childhood injuries, are physical harms—ranging from minor to life-threatening (trauma)—that occur to children (usually ages 0–18).

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that causes the cartilage and bone in joints to break down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.

OA is the most common type of arthritis and is more common in older people. It can affect the hands, hips, back, and knees, but can also occur in other parts of the body.

There is no cure for OA, but symptoms can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications.

Cartilage preservation techniques can be defined as surgical measures employed to restore deteriorating joint cartilage in order to prevent or delay joint replacement surgery such as knee and hip replacement. Articular cartilage is the white tissue lining the end of bones where these bones connect to form joints.
