Treating Broken Bones

According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, millions of Americans break a bone every year. Each fracture is different. That’s why we carefully assess every fracture and perform advanced imaging as needed to create a customized treatment plan for each fracture. Some fractures require nonoperative treatment and others require surgery.

Our orthopedic surgeons will diagnose and treat all types of fractures in all age groups to help you get on the path to feeling better, sooner.

How to Tell if You Have an Athletic Injury

It is easy to know if you have a serious injury such as a torn meniscus, a knee fracture or an achilles tendon rupture, but sports injuries come in all shapes and sizes. An injured ankle joint might impact your range of motion and need a specialist to start reducing swelling and pain.

If you are dealing with pain when bearing weight on the heel bone, knee joint or patellar tendon, this could mean that you need to just apply ice, but it could also mean you need to get surgery. Getting in front of a sports medicine specialist who understands your injury and what to do next is key.
