"Our advanced surgical procedures, extensive research and clinical trials are elements of leadership in orthopedic medicine."

-Douglas J. Roger, M.D.
Medical Director

 

Hip

A healthy hip joint is one of the strongest and most stable articulations in the body.  If compromised, it can result in excruciating pain.  Walking aids and medical therapy may help to reduce inflammation in early stages.  For more severe cases, new surgical procedures such as the mini hip incision offer minimally invasive surgical solutions that may reduce pain and offer a quicker recovery.  Our specialists see patients through diagnostic examination to surgery and recovery.

Knee

When common ailments such as arthritis or injury affect the bones, joint or ligament, the result can be crippling.  Treatment regimens may utilize non-operative options consisting of activity modification, physical therapy, medications and steroid injections, or, if a joint has become damaged or if pain persists, a knee arthroplasty or surgical joint replacement may be recommended.  The team at the Orthopedic Institutehas treated thousands of patients with knee ailments, in addition to total joint replacements, applying some of the most advanced non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
