Our physicians are highly skilled in the latest arthroscopic
techniques for diagnosis and repair of injuries. As the region's
most experienced orthopaedic team, we utilize the most advanced
minimally invasive procedures, which enable patients to regain
function more quickly. Some of these techniques include ligament
and tendon reconstruction, rotator cuff repairs, sports related
fractures and the latest techniques available today in sports
medicine.
Additionally, we offer the latest non-surgical alternatives
to improve range of motion and preserve function. We also
offer comprehensive joint replacement surgery when appropriate.
