Orthopedics

Overview

Overview

Orthopedic doctors and surgeons are physicians who care for your musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, joints, ligaments, nerves, and tendons. They specialize in diagnosing and treating injuries that commonly occur from sports or physical activity. They use a variety of tools to diagnose you, including X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, and MRI. Though orthopedists are familiar with the entire musculoskeletal system, physicians will often specialize in specific parts of the body, so a treatment involving both the ankle and the back could require two separate doctors.

Whether your concern is located in your neck, back, arms, or legs, Proliance’s orthopedic surgeons can help diagnose and treat a variety of issues, including:


Upper Body

Hand and Upper Extremities

A complex system of joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels within the arms, wrist, and hand. Many conditions don’t require surgery, but in cases where procedures are necessary can be performed with local anesthetics.


Lower Body

Foot and Ankle

Surgeries include a wide array of techniques that remedy conditions such as reconstructing ligaments and tendons to fixing broken bones, addressing deformities, and fusing or replacing arthritic joints. Specialists can also help with nonoperative treatment planning and many procedures can be performed as an outpatient.


Upper Body

Shoulder

Diagnosis and treatment of dislocations, sports injuries, rotator cuff tears, and arthritis. Many treatments can be performed arthroscopically while others require replacement operations. Replacement surgeries include reverse replacement and total anatomic replacement.


Full Body

Sports Medicine

Specialized discipline that involves devising exercise plans and coordinating with trainers and physical therapists for care goals. Common conditions include the repair of tendons and ligaments throughout the body, often arthroscopically.


Full Body

Orthopedic Trauma

The management of broken bones, often due to high-energy impacts such as a car accident or low-energy impacts with conditions like osteoporosis. Treatments include plates and screws or surgical intervention to heal the bone.


Full Body

Orthopedic Oncology

A specialized medical field that focuses on the treatment of both benign tumors and cancers of the bones, cartilage, fibrous tissues, muscles, nervous tissues, soft tissues, and vessels. Conditions treated include metastatic cancer, multiple myelomas, sarcomas, soft-tissue tumors, and several others.


Hip

Hip Preservation

A specialized field that diagnoses structural abnormalities and treats them, either through arthroscopic techniques or with osteotomies. If these abnormalities are not treated, they can lead to arthritis.


Hip & knee

Hip and Knee Arthritis

Treatments include nonoperative recommendations, such as injections, medications, weight loss plans, and exercise. Surgical intervention, often joint replacement surgery, may be needed if these areas are sufficiently worn-out.


Full Body

Nonoperative Sports Medicine/Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

The treatment of athletic activity-related injuries and conditions using non-surgical methods. These treatments are conservative and focus on underlying biomechanics, bodily function, and pain by using injections and physical therapy.
