Sports Injuries
We specialize in diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries, including torn muscles, sprains, ligament tears, and fractures. Our team uses advanced techniques like physical therapy, regenerative medicine, and minimally invasive surgery to restore mobility and reduce recovery time. Patients receive personalized care plans tailored to their activity level and injury severity.
Knee Replacement
Our MAKO robotic-assisted knee replacement procedures address severe arthritis or injury by replacing damaged joint surfaces with durable prosthetics. This technology enhances precision, ensuring optimal alignment and long-term functionality. Postoperative physical therapy supports a full return to daily activities, with most patients resuming driving within six weeks.
Rotator Cuff
We diagnose and treat rotator cuff injuries through conservative methods like physical therapy and injections or surgical repair for severe tears. Our approach focuses on restoring shoulder strength and range of motion, with preventive strategies to reduce re-injury risks for active patients.
ACL Tear
ACL reconstruction surgery replaces torn ligaments with tissue grafts, followed by structured rehabilitation. Combined with preoperative physical therapy and postoperative care, this restores knee stability and function, particularly for athletes aiming to return to high-impact sports.
Arthroscopy
Diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy allows real-time visualization of joint damage using a small camera. This technique guides repairs for conditions like cartilage tears or ligament injuries, minimizing tissue disruption and accelerating recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
