Conditions That May Lead to Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is used to treat a wide range of conditions. Common examples include:
Arthritis: Worn-down cartilage in joints causing pain and stiffness
Joint Injuries: Tears in ligaments, tendons, or cartilage from sports or accidents
Fractures: Broken bones that require realignment or internal support
Other surgical candidates may include patients with chronic shoulder impingement, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon ruptures, or severe spinal problems that don’t respond to conservative care.
Surgical Procedures We Offer
We offer a variety of procedures tailored to each patient’s condition and lifestyle. These include:
- Joint Replacement: Replacing damaged joints—such as hips, knees, or shoulders—with artificial implants
- Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a small camera to diagnose and treat joint problems
- Fracture Repair: Realigning and stabilizing broken bones using screws, plates, or rods
- Ligament & Tendon Repair: Surgical correction of torn ACLs, rotator cuffs, or Achilles tendons
For many patients, minimally invasive techniques allow for smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.
What to Expect From Care
Orthopedic surgery begins long before the operating room. We start with a thorough evaluation, including physical exams and imaging like X-rays or MRIs. You’ll receive a clear diagnosis, an explanation of all treatment options, and a surgical plan tailored to your health and goals.
Recovery is supported by physical therapy, pain management, and ongoing follow-up. Our team guides you through every stage—from pre-op education to post-op rehab—so you can heal with confidence.
Is Surgery Right for You?
Surgery is typically considered after other treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medications haven’t worked. You may be a candidate if your symptoms interfere with daily life, your condition has worsened over time, or structural damage is limiting your function.
If pain or injury is holding you back, it may be time to explore your surgical options. Contact our office to schedule a consultation with an orthopedic specialist. Together, we’ll develop a plan to get you back to doing what you love—safely and confidently.
