Procedures We Offer
Joint Replacement Surgeries
Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis or injury. It involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of the knee joint and replacing them with metal and plastic components to restore function and reduce pain.
Hip Replacement
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or arthritic hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is commonly performed to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with severe arthritis or significant hip injuries.
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement is a procedure to replace the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. This surgery is typically performed to alleviate pain and restore mobility in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthroscopic Procedures
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat knee issues. Common conditions treated with knee arthroscopy include:
- Meniscal tears: Repairing or removing damaged meniscus tissue.
- ACL injuries: Reconstructing a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
- Cartilage damage: Smoothing or repairing damaged cartilage to restore joint function.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an arthroscope to diagnose and treat shoulder problems. It is commonly used for:
- Joint inflammation: Removing inflamed tissue or loose fragments within the shoulder joint.
- Rotator cuff tears: Repairing torn tendons in the shoulder.
- Swimmer’s shoulder: Relieving impingement caused by overuse or inflammation.
Reconstructive Procedures
ACL Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament, typically with a tendon graft. This surgery is common among athletes and aims to restore knee stability and function.
Ankle Ligament Reconstruction
Ankle ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or replace damaged ligaments in the ankle, improving stability and reducing the risk of future injuries.
Specialized Procedures
Joint Fusion (Arthrodesis)
Joint fusion, or arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure that joins two bones in a joint permanently. It is often used as a salvage procedure for severe joint pain or instability, such as after failed knee replacements.
Trigger Finger Release
Trigger finger release is a surgical or minimally invasive procedure to treat stenosing tenosynovitis. It involves releasing the constricted tendon pulley to restore smooth finger movement and alleviate pain.
