ACL Repair & Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction surgery repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. This minimally invasive surgery replaces the damaged ligament with a graft, which can be taken from the patient or a donor. The goal is to restore knee stability, improve function, and allow a return to daily activities and sports.
Achilles Tendon Repair
Achilles repair is a special surgery that aims to fix the Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body. This surgery treats tears or ruptures caused by sports injuries, accidents, or wear and tear. Using advanced methods, the procedure promotes healing, reduces scarring, and helps patients return to activity faster. After surgery, a structured rehab program is important for rebuilding strength and mobility, enabling patients to resume daily life and sports confidently. Whether you're an athlete or active, a successful Achilles repair can greatly improve your quality of life and performance.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery used to diagnose and treat knee problems. The surgeon makes tiny cuts and uses a small camera to see inside the knee, allowing for careful examination and treatment without large wounds. It is often done for issues like meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and ligament injuries. Benefits include less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars. This technique helps people quickly return to daily activities and improves knee function, making it a good choice for those with knee pain.
Quadriceps and Patella Tendon Repair & Reconstruction
Quadriceps tendon and patella tendon repairs are critical procedures aimed at restoring knee functionality. The quadriceps tendon connects the quadriceps muscle to the patella (kneecap), while the patella tendon links the patella to the tibia, facilitating movement and stability. Injuries to these tendons, often resulting from sports-related activities or accidents, can severely compromise mobility of the knee. Surgical intervention focuses on reattaching or reconstructing the damaged tendons, ensuring proper alignment and tension for optimal healing.
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement surgery is a significant procedure for those experiencing severe shoulder pain and difficulty moving, often caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injuries. This surgery replaces damaged bone and cartilage with artificial parts, improving function and reducing pain.
Shoulder Stabilization
Shoulder stabilization surgery is a specialized procedure to restore stability and function to the shoulder, especially after repeated dislocations or chronic instability. The surgery fixes problems like a torn labrum, ligament damage, and bone issues. Using advanced methods like arthroscopy or open surgery, the surgeon repairs the shoulder's supporting structures.
Frozen Shoulder Release
Frozen shoulder release surgery, also known as arthroscopic capsular release, is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at alleviating the pain and restoring the range of motion in individuals suffering from adhesive capsulitis, commonly referred to as a frozen shoulder. During the surgery, small incisions are made to allow a camera and surgical instruments to access the shoulder joint. The surgeon carefully manipulates and cuts through the thickened capsule surrounding the shoulder to release the adhesions that restrict movement.
AC Joint Reconstruction (Shoulder Separation)
A procedure designed to restore stability and function to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, which connects the collarbone to the shoulder blade. This surgery is typically recommended for patients with severe AC joint injuries or separation that do not respond to conservative treatments. The surgeon may use grafts, such as tendon tissue, to reconstruct the damaged ligaments and secure the joint in its proper position. The minimally invasive technique aims to promote a quicker recovery while alleviating pain and improving shoulder mobility, allowing patients to return to their daily activities and sports.
Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair surgery is a procedure aimed at restoring shoulder function and alleviating pain caused by tears in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. This minimally invasive technique involves reattaching the torn tendons to the humerus bone, allowing for improved mobility and strength.
Distal Biceps Tendon Repair
Bicep repair is surgery for tears or injuries to the biceps tendon in the shoulder or elbow. These injuries can happen from accidents or wear and tear, causing pain, weakness, and limited movement. Surgery may involve reattaching the tendon or reconstructing it to improve function and reduce pain. With the right treatment and care, many people can return to their usual activities and regain full functionality.
Triceps Tendon Repair
Tricep repair is a surgery to restore function and strength to the triceps muscle after an injury or rupture. These injuries often happen during sports or accidents and can cause pain and difficulty moving. The surgery usually involves reattaching the muscle to the bone, followed by rehabilitation to improve movement and strength. After the operation, care includes physical therapy and gradually returning to activities for a full recovery.
Pec Major Repair
Pectoralis major repair surgery is a procedure that helps restore the function and strength of the pectoralis major muscle, important for upper body movements. This surgery is for people with complete or partial tears from injuries like weightlifting accidents or sports. It involves reattaching the torn muscle to its original spot, allowing for rehabilitation and a return to normal activities. With advanced and minimally invasive techniques, patients experience shorter recovery times and better results.
Elbow Arthroscopy
Elbow arthroscopy is a small-scale surgery that helps diagnose and treat elbow problems. Surgeons make small cuts and use special tools to see inside the elbow joint for accurate treatment. It is commonly used to remove loose fragments, treat inflammation, and repair ligament damage. This method usually causes less pain, leads to faster recovery, and leaves smaller scars compared to open surgery, making it a good choice for patients with elbow issues.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, is a successful treatment for severe knee pain caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injuries. This procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and bone, replacing them with a custom prosthetic joint. Patients usually see marked improvements in movement and overall quality of life, including less pain and a greater ability to perform daily tasks.
Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery is a successful treatment for severe hip joint damage from arthritis, injury, or other issues. The procedure replaces the damaged hip joint with a customized prosthetic implant. This minimally invasive surgery significantly improves quality of life, enabling patients to perform daily activities with less discomfort. Thanks to modern techniques, hip replacement has a high success rate, and most patients can return to their regular routines within months.
