Orthopedic care

Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Bone and joint diagnostic procedures

The first step in treating your orthopedic condition is getting an accurate diagnosis. Our orthopedic doctors will work closely with dedicated imaging specialists to determine what is causing your symptoms.

Orthopedic treatments

We offer a full spectrum of orthopedic treatments, such as minimally invasive procedures that may decrease your recovery time. Treatments we provide include:

  • Arthroscopic joint repair
  • Closed or open reduction of fractures
  • Joint replacement surgery for the ankle, hip, knee and shoulder
  • Pediatric arm and wrist fracture repair
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Release of carpal tunnel syndrome

Knee replacement surgery

Our orthopedic surgeons use advanced technology to convert a computerized tomography (CT) scan of your knee to a 3D model. That model is used to design a knee replacement implant for your unique anatomy. These implants follow the shape and contour of your knee to maintain your natural joint lines and increase stability.

Physical rehabilitation after orthopedic care

Through inpatient and outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation services, we aim to help you regain strength and restore mobility after an orthopedic surgery or injury. Our therapists work with you to develop a physical rehabilitative care plan designed to help you progress in your recovery as quickly and safely as possible.

Hip surgery recovery

Our orthopedic surgeon explains the factors that determine your recovery time following hip replacement surgery.
