Innovative Approaches to Total Joint Replacement
The proper functioning of your joints allows you to move without pain. However, age, stress, and disease can make joints stiffen in much the same way as wear and a lack of lubrication can cause stiffness and squeaking in a door hinge. The most common cause of joint pain is arthritis, afflicting nearly 20% of the US population. One of the most effective treatments for certain types of joint pain is total joint replacement. Our surgeons have extensive specialty training in the surgical treatment of complex bone disorders, including secondary or revision joint replacement surgery. One special area of interest is alternative joint replacement procedures for younger patients, in which we employ new devices that will help to significantly increase the longevity of the prosthesis. Our surgeons are experienced in the use of advanced materials, such as titanium, ceramic, and new plastic joint liners, which also help to extend the longevity of prostheses.
A Complete Hand Center
Orthopedic Specialists provides high-quality, comprehensive care for hand pain sufferers. We offer patients the latest techniques and technology for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of hand problems, including carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb arthritis, ganglion cysts, and tendonitis of the wrist.
Expertise in Sports Medicine
Orthopedic Specialists offers the best care for patients suffering from sports-related injuries. Our orthopedic surgeons provide extensive experience in the treatment of common overuse and trauma-induced injuries. As part of our total approach to treatment, we provide patients with personalized care that includes physical therapy and training recommendations. Our physicians are trained in the latest minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, and knee.
Complete Spinal Care
The delicate nature of the spine requires specialized care. By providing complete diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation capabilities as well as preventive interventions, Orthopedic Specialists offers relief from pain and a return to normal activity for adults and children with a wide range of back and neck problems.
While the causes of spinal problems have not changed much over the years, the methods for diagnosing and treating the condition are constantly evolving. Following an initial evaluation, which includes a detailed medical history, reviewing previous records and x-rays, and performing a multidisciplinary physical exam, we employ the latest techniques and technology for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
