This non-invasive imaging technique allows for real-time visualization of soft tissues, joints, and tendons, aiding in accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is particularly valuable for guiding injections and procedures, ensuring precise placement of medication or therapeutic agents directly into the affected area. It is cost-effective, doesn’t expose patients to ionizing radiation, and can be used in dynamic assessments, such as evaluating tendon movement during various joint activities.

The Percutaneous Achilles Repair System (PARS) is a minimally invasive technique for treating Achilles tendon ruptures. It offers several notable benefits for patients. PARS involves smaller incisions, leading to less tissue disruption and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery. Patients typically experience quicker recovery times and can begin weight-bearing activities sooner. PARS also allows for better preservation of the Achilles tendon’s natural length, potentially reducing the risk of complications and re-rupture.

Meniscus repair offers significant benefits by preserving the natural cushioning and stability of the knee joint. This procedure can alleviate pain, enhance joint function, and reduce the risk of long-term complications like osteoarthritis. With minimally invasive techniques and quicker recovery times, meniscus repair allows patients to return to their active lifestyles faster while minimizing the need for extensive tissue removal.

Minimally invasive hip arthroscopy is a cutting-edge surgical technique that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat various hip conditions with smaller incisions and less tissue disruption. Through tiny openings, specialized instruments and a camera are inserted into the hip joint, enabling the surgeon to visualize and address problems such as labral tears, impingement, and cartilage damage. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive hip arthroscopy typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.

PRP and stem cell injections are regenerative therapies that use the body’s natural healing properties to treat conditions like osteoarthritis and injuries. They can reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue repair, offering non-surgical options for musculoskeletal problems. Please be advised that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapies are alternative treatments and may not be suitable for all medical conditions or individuals, which can be discussed with one of our providers.
