Orthopedic Surgery

• Total knee and hip replacement
• Arthroscopic joint repair
• Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff, labrum)
• Carpal tunnel release
• ACL reconstruction
• Meniscus surgery
• Fracture repair

You should see an orthopedic surgeon if you have persistent joint pain, reduced mobility, a sports injury that hasn’t healed, or if non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or injections haven’t helped. Surgery may be recommended for conditions like arthritis, torn ligaments, or fractures that affect your daily life.

Q1: What is orthopedic surgery used for?
A1: Orthopedic surgery is used to treat joint problems, fractures, tendon injuries, and chronic pain from arthritis or degenerative conditions.

Q2: Is surgery always necessary for joint pain?
A2: Not always. Many patients improve with physical therapy, medications, or injections. Surgery is typically considered if these treatments don’t provide relief.

Q3: What is recovery like after joint replacement surgery?
A3: Most patients begin walking the same day or next day after surgery. Full recovery can take several weeks to months depending on the joint and individual health.
