Hope everyone had a great weekend! I unfortunately had to be inside for much of the weekend and miss the fantastic weather. 🌅🍂However, I was able to help very thankful patients who had fallen and sustained femur fractures. One Intramedullary nailing and 2 total hip replacements for hip fractures. All 3 patients are already back to walking with assistance.

Total hip replacements are usually done for patients with hip arthritis. However, this is a very powerful and effective surgery for the “right” patient with a hip fracture (femoral neck fracture). Patients are able to walk on the hip right away without worry of the fracture not healing or the chance at developing arthritis in the future.

Taking care of business this Sunday of the Labor Day weekend!
92 year old lady fell and broke her hip. In these cases a cemented hemiarthroplasty (partial hip replacement) is a very successful and powerful operation. Her pain will be better immediately and she will walk on this leg later today with physical therapy

Happy Monday!
I love starting my week with my favorite surgery to perform. Anterior approach hip replacement. Minimally invasive but maximally effective. This patient will stand and walk before leaving the surgery center, use a walker for 1-2 weeks and likely be recovered (function better than before surgery) around 6 weeks from now. Have a great week everyone!

Where our orthopaedic surgeries are performed can vary from patient to patient.

Many patients are good candidates for outpatient procedures at our surgery center. However, patients with certain health conditions may be better suited for surgery at the hospital, where they can be admitted for additional care if needed.

Cortisone injections are a temporary, yet effective, treatment for knee arthritis. We do these in the office every day. It is a quick and relatively painless procedure with no down-time or restrictions afterwards. Schedule an appointment with me to see if this is something that can help your knee pain!

A cortisone injection is an injection of a steroid medication, in combination with a local anesthetic, into an inflamed joint, tendon, bursa, or other area of the body.

Steroids are potent anti-inflammatories that are most effective when injected at the site of the problem. When taken orally, they have to pass through the entire body before reaching the site of inflammation.

Get in touch today if you're experiencing inflammation and pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or other musculoskeletal issues. We're here to help!

🎵 Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree…With My Brand New Pair of Knees 🎵

This shirt is Amazing!

This is a wonderful patient of mine who underwent knee replacement on both knees over the past year. She recently came back for her 3 month follow up on her left knee and is doing great! She showed me this shirt she made, just in time for the holidays.

Very rewarding to have grateful patients like this one!

Hope everyone has a happy and relaxing holiday season filled with family, friends and fun. 🎄
