Common Orthopedic Procedures

Orthopedic surgeons utilize a range of procedures to address injuries, correct deformities, and manage diseases affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues. Some of the most frequently performed procedures include:

• Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a camera to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint.
• Fusion: Permanently joining two or more bones, often using metal rods or bone grafts, to relieve pain or restore stability.
• Internal Fixation: Repairing broken bones by securing the fragments with screws, pins, or plates.
• Joint Replacement: Replacing a damaged joint with an artificial prosthesis, commonly performed for arthritis or severe injury.
• Osteotomy: Cutting and realigning bones to correct deformities.
• Soft Tissue Repair: Surgical repair of torn ligaments or tendons to restore function and stability.

The choice of procedure depends on your specific diagnosis and individual needs, which your physician will discuss with you in detail.

Orthopedic Subspecialties

Our specialists offer expertise in several subspecialties within orthopedics, including:

• Joint Reconstruction: Focuses on comprehensive joint replacement procedures, especially for the hip and knee. We also specialize in revision surgeries for patients needing replacements of earlier implants or grafts.
• Hip and Knee: Addresses conditions of the lower extremities, offering both replacement and arthroscopic surgeries for ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and other joint disorders.
• Shoulder: Involves both arthroscopic and open procedures to assess and repair problems within the shoulder, restoring movement and relieving pain.
