General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
For the wrong person, knee replacement surgery could prove counterproductive and disastrous. Those who are too young (except for those who suffer from severe rheumatoid arthritis) should consider other types of treatment for knee pain. In revision knee replacement surgery, the bone is cut shorter to make room for the second knee implant, and function is likely to be affected.

Labor and Delivery
Christine - a labor and delivery nurse and a fitness instructor - was delivered from her back pain after turning to University Orthopedics spine surgeon Dr. Alan Daniels. She had tried other treatments, but they all failed. She found relief immediately after her spinal fusion surgery. Dr. Daniels performed Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Each year, 16 million Americans seek out emergency care for hand injury. Injury to the hand can be caused by trauma, many times related to work activities. Other times, repetitive use of the fingers and hand can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, when the tissues surrounding the flexor tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be a disabling and expensive problem for the workplace. Many times, however, it can be successfully treated with minor outpatient surgery.
Multiple Sclerosis
A variety of other conditions including premature menopause, anorexia nervosa, athletic amenorrhea, multiple sclerosis, immobilization and impaired mobility, and alcohol abuse.

Mental Health

Hand Surgery
The field of hand surgery deals with both the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (from the tip of the hand to the top of the arm). Many conditions occur in the arm that can be treated by a hand surgeon, including the immediate care of a hand, wrist or arm injury, treatment and reconstruction of old injuries, congenital differences in children, hand, wrist, and elbow arthritis, new lumps on the hand and arm, tumors, conditions that cause tingling, pain and numbness in the hand and arm, as well as swelling of tendons. Some hand surgeons also take care of problems of the elbow and shoulder.

Robotic Surgery
The Mazor Robotic Surgery System manufactured by Medtronic, one of the world’s largest medical equipment companies, enables the spine surgeon to do advanced planning of a surgery the day before to map out the spine surgery, the fusion and the precise placement of any plates or screws needed in the surgery. Placement of fixation screws in particular can be mapped out in advance to show the optimal angle of screws that is than replicated by the robotic system during the surgery the next day.
Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
Thanks to hip replacement surgery, most people however are able to quickly regain function with the implantation of an artificial ball and socket joint in the hip. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), each year nearly 250,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed with the goal of helping patients regain their ability to walk and play their favorite recreational sport.
Knee Replacement
When the knee joint has been damaged beyond repair of ligaments or meniscus tissue, pain can become unbearable, and motion stops. Walking can become excruciating, and stairs can become an insurmountable obstacle. The most common cause of a knee replacement is arthritis which damages the surface of the knee joint until the sensation is that of painful bone-on-bone friction as the knee joint moves.
Reconstructive Surgery
Upper extremity problems that affect the shoulder and elbow are very common. Patients can develop problems as a result of traumatic injuries, sports activities, work injuries and occupational disorders, and aging and degenerative conditions. These include rotator cuff tears and impingement, shoulder and elbow arthritis, fractures of the clavicle, scapula, humerus and elbow, neurologic problems. A full spectrum of non-operative treatments including physical therapy and injections are used to treat many of these problems. Surgical treatments include the latest in arthroscopic surgery, reconstructive and revision surgery, total joint replacement, fracture fixation, muscle and tendon transfers, nerve decompression, and reconstructive surgery for brachial plexus injuries.

Plastic Surgeons

Bariatric Surgery
Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, liver and kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, bariatric surgery, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Lesions
Cartilage injuries are common, especially in the knee joint, and can lead to degenerative arthritis. The treatment approach for these lesions depend upon patient age, activity level, chronicity, limb alignment, and size and location of the lesion. Diffuse cartilage injury in an older patient may be best treated with arthroplasty options. Young, active patients are not ready for a joint replacement, and may be candidates for cartilage repair procedures, in addition to procedures to correct limb malalignment and/or ligament injury.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Sports medicine experts across the U.S. have noticed that there is an alarming trend in â€œprofessional-levelâ€ injuries among young athletes. The number of youth injuries is reaching epidemic proportions and young athletes are experiencing overuse injuries at younger and younger ages. The high rate of youth sports injuries is fueled by an increase in overuse and trauma injuries with a lack of attention by coaches to injury prevention.
Physical Therapy
We also provide non-operative methods of treating cartilage injuries to include joint injections and physical therapy. Our experts offer injections of corticosteroid, synthetic joint fluid, as well as platelet rich plasma (PRP). PRP is obtained by drawing blood from a patient and spinning it down to inject the growth factors into the diseased joint – and has recently been shown to have efficacy in early arthritic knees.

She received her Certified Hand Therapy specialization from the Hand Therapy Certification Commission in 2013. Susanna has spoken at various local and national hand therapy conferences and has been a contributing author to both on-line and in-print educational publications on hand therapy.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention for elbow pain. It’s estimated that at some point, tennis elbow affects nearly half of those who play racquet sports. Exactly what causes tennis elbow is unknown, but it is thought to be due to small tears of the tendons that attach forearm muscles to the arm bone at the elbow joint. The inflammation that results from this injury can prevent someone from hitting a tennis ball without pain. For a tennis player, tennis elbow can be career-ending. While surgery is rarely needed, treatment can involve special therapy and exercises that extend to six months or more. Physical and occupational therapists at University Orthopedics play a significant role in the non-surgical treatment of upper extremity injuries, as success with therapy eliminates the need for surgical intervention.

Achilles Tendonitis
The achilles tendon connects the heel to the lower leg. Injury is more likely when the calf muscles are tight, such as in football and running. Placing too much stress on the tendon created by the tightening of the calf muscle may cause it to strain or rupture.
Ankle Sprain
According to AAOS, ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in sports. Because the inner ankle is less stable, children's feet tend to turn inward after a tackle or collision on the field. Sports that involve a lot of running, jumping, physical contact and kicking pose the greatest risk for ankle injuries.
Ingrown Toenails
When a person experiences pain from a lower extremity problem â€” such as pain in a foot, or ankle â€” it can be excruciating to stand or walk. Even common problems such as a bunion, ingrown toenail, callus or improper shoe fit can prevent you from walking without pain.
