Joint Replacement
Our surgeons specialize in joint replacement for advanced arthritis, utilizing Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology for hip and knee replacements. This precision-driven approach ensures better implant placement, reduced recovery times, and long-term durability. Patients benefit from preoperative planning and postoperative rehabilitation tailored to their specific needs, enabling a swift return to daily activities.
Sports Injuries
We treat acute and overuse sports injuries, including ligament tears, fractures, and tendonitis. Our team designs sport-specific rehabilitation programs to accelerate healing and prevent reinjury. Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is employed when necessary, ensuring athletes regain strength and mobility efficiently while adhering to safe return-to-play protocols.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
We offer conservative and surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, including ergonomic adjustments, splinting, and corticosteroid injections. For severe cases, outpatient carpal tunnel release surgery alleviates nerve pressure, restoring hand function and reducing pain, numbness, and tingling in the fingers.
Rotator Cuff Repair
Our surgeons repair torn rotator cuffs using arthroscopic techniques, reattaching tendons to bones with suture anchors. This minimally invasive approach reduces scarring and recovery time, allowing patients to regain shoulder strength and range of motion through structured physical therapy programs.
Arthritis Treatment
We manage arthritis through medications, physical therapy, and joint injections. For advanced cases, we perform total joint replacements, focusing on pain relief and improved mobility. Our expertise in robotic-assisted surgery ensures precise implant placement, enhancing long-term outcomes for patients with debilitating arthritis.
