Comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Orthopaedics (or orthopaedic surgery) is the medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves, all of which enable movement and activity throughout life.
Orthopaedic surgeons evaluate musculoskeletal injuries and disorders and provide comprehensive care including:
Orthopaedic surgeons lead a multidisciplinary team that often includes other doctors (primary care, sports medicine, radiology, pain management, anesthesiology), physician assistants and nurse practitioners, registered nurses and orthopaedic technicians, physical therapists, and trainees (residents, fellows, medical students). Each team member plays a critical role in ensuring safety, recovery, and optimal outcomes for patients.
Our orthopaedic specialists have expertise in various subspecialties including:
Orthopaedic surgeons complete extensive education and training, including 4 years of undergraduate studies, 4 years of medical school, 5 years of orthopaedic residency, and optional fellowship training in a subspecialty. Many hold professional designations such as FAAOS (Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons), reflecting a commitment to ongoing education, professional development, and high-quality care.
Advanced hip and knee replacement procedures using modern implants and minimally invasive techniques to restore mobility and reduce pain for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage.
Minimally invasive procedures using small incisions and a camera to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist without major open surgery.
Surgical and non-surgical treatment of broken bones using casting, bracing, internal fixation (plates and screws), or external fixation devices to ensure proper healing and alignment.
Treatment of spinal disorders including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and spinal fractures using both minimally invasive and traditional surgical approaches.
Specialized treatment of sports-related injuries including ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff surgery, and tendon repairs to help athletes return to their sport.
Treatment of conditions affecting the hand and wrist including carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, arthritis, fractures, and tendon injuries to restore function and dexterity.
Comprehensive treatment of foot and ankle conditions including bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, and fractures to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Specialized care for children with musculoskeletal conditions including congenital deformities, growth plate injuries, scoliosis, and developmental disorders.
Don't Delay Evaluation: Persistent joint, back, or musculoskeletal pain should be assessed early by an orthopaedic specialist to prevent worsening conditions and ensure timely treatment.
Engage in Weight-Bearing Exercise: Activities like walking, jogging, or resistance training strengthen bones, improve mobility, and support overall musculoskeletal health throughout life.
Wear Proper Footwear: Supportive shoes reduce strain on knees, hips, and the spine, helping prevent injuries and long-term joint problems.
Follow Post-Surgery Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery is essential for restoring function, strength, and achieving long-term recovery. Commitment to physical therapy significantly improves outcomes.
