Variations of Orthopedic Sports Medicine Procedures/Injuries
Rely on unparalleled sports medicine & rehabilitation to get you back on your feet! Our board-certified orthopedic sports medicine surgeons leverage a wealth of experience with the latest in surgical technology to deliver exceptional patient care. Orthopedic sports medicine surgery can treat a variety of musculoskeletal injuries in all extremities, including the shoulders, knees, hands, feet, and elbows.
Procedures/Injuries
Shoulder Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a shoulder joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
Rotator cuff surgery is a means of treating injured a shoulder’s rotator cuff. Many surgeries have been developed to repair the muscles, connective tissue, or damaged joints that can arise from traumatic or overuse injuries to the shoulder.
Biceps tenodesis includes release of the long head of the biceps tendon off of its insertion on the glenoid and re-attachment by screw or suture anchor fixation to the humerus
Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a knee joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
ACL reconstruction is a surgical tissue graft replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, located in the knee, to restore its function after an injury. The torn ligament can either be removed from the knee (most common), or preserved (where the graft is passed inside the preserved ruptured native ligament) before reconstruction an arthroscopic procedure.
Torn or ruptured meniscus occurs in the fibrocartilage strips in the knee called menisci. When doctors and patients refer to “torn cartilage” in the knee, they actually may be referring to an injury to a meniscus at the top of one of the tibiae.

Joint reconstruction is a form of arthroplasty, and is often indicated from various joint diseases, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Joint replacement surgery is becoming more common with knees and hips replaced most often.
Hip arthroscopy refers to the viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an arthroscope and the treatment of hip pathology through a minimally invasive approach.
A bone fracture or dislocation is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break or dislocation in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces.
Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) involves the implementation of implants to guide the healing process of a bone, as well as the open reduction, or setting, of the bone. Open reduction refers to open surgery to set bones, as is necessary for some fractures.
We begin by using non-restrictive-MRIs and digital X-Rays to evaluate the nature and severity of the injury prior to any surgical procedure(s). The specific treatment offered to our patients depends on the severity of the injury, and can range from a limited application of anesthetics to total replacement of original joints at the elbow or knee.
