Orthopedic care

Surgical repairs are often used by our board-certified orthopedists to help heal fractures affecting your joints. In many cases, this is a path to minimizing pain. We offer several surgical repair procedures, including:

• Fracture repair — For complicated bone fractures that won’t respond to nonsurgical treatments, we attach orthopedic plates, nails, screws or pins to properly align bones and promote healing. Occasionally, bone grafts are used to speed the healing process.
• Hand surgery — We’re the only hospital in the area with the expertise to provide delicate hand surgeries.
• Total joint replacement — We use advanced computer-assisted surgical techniques to completely replace damaged knees and hips with lightweight, durable prosthetics.

Take our knee assessment and our hip assessment to determine if surgery may be your next step.

Minimally invasive orthopedics

In many cases, these treatment options are available for quicker recovery times and greater comfort:

• Arthroscopic surgery — Our orthopedic doctors use an arthroscope, or miniature camera, to view inside your joints and repair them through tiny incisions that minimize discomfort and scarring.
• Rotator cuff repairs and shoulder stabilization — We use various techniques to help prevent repeated dislocation of the shoulder joint. Often, physical therapy is enough to strengthen the muscles around the joint. In more severe cases, our orthopedic surgeons will surgically repair the joint.

To help get you back to daily activities, our specialists use a variety of treatments, including:

• Arthritis treatment — Treatments range from pain relievers to anti-inflammatories for easing symptoms to joint fusion surgery or replacement in severe cases.
• Physical rehabilitation — Our inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation service can help you recover from injury, maximize the benefits of surgery and, in some cases, avoid surgery altogether.
• Sports medicine — We treat many bone and joint problems caused by sports-related activities.
