Procedures
Labral Repair
Non-surgical treatment for a labral tear includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and therapy. If surgery is required, your physician may recommend hip arthroscopy.
Labrum and Labral Tear Surgery
Treatment options may include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections and physical therapy. If the tear does not heal, surgery may be needed to repair the joint.
Laminectomy
Laminectomy This procedure relieves pressure on the nerve roots in the spine. It is most commonly performed to relieve the pain of stenosis. This is a narrowing of the spinal canal that is often caused by the formation of bony growths that can press against the nerve roots. The surgeon...
Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction
This procedure is performed to correct chronic ankle instability that has not responded to non-operative treatment, such as physical therapy. Ankle instability occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn.
Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Repair/Reconstruction
Non-surgical treatment options include rest, ice, bracing and physical therapy. Surgery may be required if the collateral ligament is torn in such a way that it is unable to heal or is associated with other ligament injuries.
Lisfranc Fracture/Dislocation Treatment
This procedure uses screws to repair broken or dislocated bones in the midfoot.
Loose Body Removal
This minimally-invasive outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthetic, removes bits of bone, cartilage or other tissue that have broken free and are floating within the knee or hip.
Mallet Finger Treatment
Mallet finger is commonly treated by placing the affected finger in a splint for several weeks. If the bone fragment is very large or the joint is displaced, surgery may be needed.
Medial Patellofemoral (MPFL) Reconstruction
When a patient dislocates their kneecap, tissues on the inside aspect of the knee tear allowing the kneecap (or patella) to dislocate to the outside. The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament, also known as the MPFL, is the main soft tissue restraint to dislocation of the patella. It is torn when dislocation...
Meniscal Tear Surgeries
One wrong move, and ouch, you’ve torn something in your knee. Surgery to Fix a Meniscus Tear Although the knee joint is generally quite flexible, when twisted the wrong way (while playing basketball, for example), the cushioning cartilage around the joint can tear. This is known as a meniscus tear...
Micro Fracture Surgery
Done hundreds of times annually by Orthopedic ONE cartilage surgeons, this procedure stimulates stem cell-like bone marrow cells to form a cap over the flaw in the joint. A second option is cartilage restoration. This can be done with both your own tissue and donor tissues.
Mini Total Hip Replacement
This procedure uses a small incision to replace the diseased and damaged portion of the hip joint. Patients feel less pain and recover more quickly compared to patients who undergo traditional hip replacement surgery, which requires a longer incision. While this procedure uses specialized surgical tools, the implants used are...
Minimally Invasive Spine Procedures
Spine surgery is traditionally “open surgery.”, which means that the area being operated on is opened with a long incision to allow the surgeon to view and access the anatomy. In recent years technological advances have allowed more back and neck conditions to be treated with minimally invasive surgical techniques....
Minimally Invasive Technique Dupuytrens Disease
There is no treatment to cure or prevent Dupuytren’s disease or its progression, but treatment may be used to relieve severe finger contracture. Treatment options include surgical excision of the thickened fascial tissue or an in-office release of the contracture. It can also be treated with an injection of an...
Nerve Compression
Nerves extend from your brain and spinal cord, sending important messages throughout your body. If you have a pinched nerve (nerve compression) your body may send you warning signals such as pain. Don’t ignore these warning signals. Damage from a pinched nerve may be minor or severe. It may cause temporary or long-lasting problems....
Non-operative Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis)
Although medications, exercises and rest may slow the progression of the disease, avascular necrosis of the hip will typically need to be treated with surgery. Surgical options may include core decompression, bone reshaping, osteotomy, bone grafting, or joint replacement (arthroplasty).
Non-operative Biceps Tendon Rupture Treatment
Nonsurgical treatment may be considered for patients who are inactive, or with existing medical conditions that make them a surgical risk. Patients must weigh the decision to proceed with nonsurgical treatment carefully, because restoring arm function with later surgery may not be possible. The tendon should be repaired during the...
Non-operative Elbow Bursitis Treatment
If the bursitis is not caused by an infection, it may be treated with ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and compressive bandages to reduce swelling. An elbow pad may be needed for cushioning. If the bursitis is caused by an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed, and fluid removed from the bursa. For...
Non-operative Elbow Spur Treatment
Bone spurs are only treated if symptoms are present. Initial treatment is designed to decrease inflammation and avoid re-injury when possible. Ice and anti-inflammatory medications are commonly used, depending on the location of the spur. Orthotics, or shoe inserts, and local bone spur pads may also be considered. Bone spurs...
Non-operative Golfer’s Elbow Treatment
Some olecranon – or elbow – fractures require only a splint or sling to hold the elbow in place while it heals. Your physician will closely monitor the healing process, and subsequent physical therapy visits to increase restore motion. If the fracture shifts, the patient may require surgery to put...
Non-operative Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Treatment
Non-surgical treatment options include rest, ice, bracing and physical therapy. Surgery may be required if the collateral ligament is torn in such a way that it is unable to heal or is associated with other ligament injuries.
Non-operative Meniscal Tear Treatment
Treatment options for torn meniscus include rest, cold compress, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications and immobilization of the knee in a brace or cast. Severe cases may require surgery.
Non-operative Olecranon Fracture Treatment
Some olecranon – or elbow – fractures require only a splint or sling to hold the elbow in place while it heals. Your physician will closely monitor the healing process, and subsequent physical therapy visits to increase restore motion. If the fracture shifts, the patient may require surgery to put...
Non-operative Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Treatment
Treatment options for torn PCL include rest, cold compress, wrapping the knee, elevating the knee, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications. If pain or instability of the knee worsens, surgery may be required.
Non-operative Radial Head Fracture Treatment
Physicians classify fractures according to the degree of displacement (how far out of normal position the bones are). Treatment is then determined by the type of fracture.
Non-operative Tennis Elbow – Lateral Epicondylitis
Treatment is determined by your physician and may include rest, an arm brace or wrist splint, physical therapy, steroid injections, ice and anti-inflammatory medications.
Non-operative Throwing Injury Treatment
Repetitive throwing places severe stress on the elbow joint. The throwing motion stretches the tendons and ligaments on the inner side of the elbow and compresses the structures on the outer side. These forces can damage tissue and bone, especially in young athletes whose bones have not fully matured. Depending...
