Orthopedic Surgery
A regional leader in general and specialized orthopedic surgery, team of our board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeons is renowned for treatment expertise in many areas of orthopedics.
Injuries or conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, and soft tissues can sometimes have similar symptoms and be difficult to distinguish from one another. The Bone & Joint Center doctors realize that an accurate diagnosis is critical to being able to select the most appropriate course of treatment. That’s why our patients appreciate the skill and training that our physicians, advanced practice providers, and therapists demonstrate in their careful evaluation of each patient’s condition.
Conservative, nonsurgical options are always explored before surgical treatment of any orthopedic problem is considered. Our doctors will only recommend surgery if your pain or injury does not respond to conservative treatment. If you do end up needing surgery, you will be in the best of hands.
Most of our orthopedic surgeons subspecialize in a particular body part or procedure and have extensive training and advanced skills in the most current surgical techniques to treat the shoulder and elbow, hand and wrist, hip and knee, and foot and ankle. They also perform surgery to treat general orthopedic concerns such as trauma and fractures, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Orthopedic surgery is recommended when conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes fail to alleviate pain or improve function in musculoskeletal conditions, such as severe joint damage, fractures, or ligament injuries.
These procedures can provide significant relief from chronic pain, enhance joint function, and improve overall quality of life. Patients often regain mobility, return to their daily activities, and experience reduced discomfort that had previously hindered their lifestyle. Orthopedic surgery is a valuable option for those seeking long-term solutions to musculoskeletal issues, helping them lead more active, fulfilling lives.
Before surgery, patients typically undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history review, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests. The orthopedic surgeon discusses the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes with the patient. During surgery, a skilled surgical team performs the procedure, utilizing advanced techniques and technologies to optimize results.
After surgery, patients enter the recovery phase, which may include post-operative care, pain management, and physical therapy. The duration and specifics of the recovery period vary depending on the type of surgery performed and the patient's individual needs. Clear communication between the patient and the medical team ensures a smooth surgical journey.
Orthopedic surgery is generally safe, with minimal risks when performed by experienced surgeons. Patients are carefully screened, and personalized treatment plans are established to optimize safety and outcomes.
