Services
Sports Medicine
Our sports medicine specialists diagnose and treat athletic injuries using evidence-based protocols. We manage conditions like ligament tears, fractures, and muscle strains through conservative treatments and surgical interventions. Patients receive tailored rehabilitation plans to ensure safe return to activity while minimizing re-injury risks.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic procedures examine and repair joint damage through small incisions. This technique treats cartilage tears, ligament injuries, and joint inflammation with faster recovery than traditional open surgery. Our surgeons use advanced imaging technology to guide precise interventions for knees, shoulders, and other joints.
Joint Replacement
We specialize in partial and total joint replacement for hips, knees, and shoulders. Damaged cartilage and bone are replaced with prosthetic components to relieve pain and restore function. Our team employs both traditional and innovative techniques like reverse shoulder replacement for complex cases involving rotator cuff deficiencies.
Fracture Care
Comprehensive fracture management includes emergency stabilization and long-term healing support. We treat simple and complex fractures using casting, traction, or surgical fixation with plates, screws, and external devices. Post-operative rehabilitation ensures optimal bone alignment and functional recovery for upper and lower extremity fractures.
Shoulder Surgery
Our shoulder specialists address conditions like rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, and arthritis through arthroscopic and open surgical techniques. Procedures include Bankart repairs for instability, SLAP lesion corrections, and both traditional and reverse total shoulder replacements to restore joint function and alleviate chronic pain.
