Fracture and joint injury management Minimally invasive arthroscopy Trauma and sports medicine focus
Fracture Fixation (ORIF)
-71%

Internal fixation with plates or screws to set a fracture — used for collarbone, wrist, forearm, humerus, tibia, or femur breaks. This stabilizes the bone so it can heal properly, often letting you move sooner than a cast alone would allow.

Hip Replacement

Replacement of a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant, typically for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage. Most patients walk with assistance within a day and return to daily activities over the following weeks.

Knee Replacement

Replacement of a worn or damaged knee joint with a prosthetic implant, relieving chronic pain and restoring mobility. Rehabilitation typically begins the same day to support a faster recovery.

Knee Arthroscopy
-53%

Minimally invasive camera-guided surgery to diagnose and treat knee injuries, such as a torn meniscus or ligament damage. Small incisions mean less pain and a faster return to activity than open joint surgery.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive camera-guided surgery to diagnose and treat shoulder injuries, such as rotator cuff tears or impingement. It allows for precise treatment with a shorter recovery than open surgery.
