Arthritis
Arthritis of the knee affects millions of Americans. The numbers of patients who will need knee replacement surgery continues to rise. It is estimated that within the next 5 years the number of cases will exceed over 1 million per year. (1) This includes both partial and total knee replacements. Fortunately, the results of surgery have improved over time. Now, with robotic surgical techniques and multi-modal anesthesia these procedures can be safely performed as an outpatient with excellent outcomes.

Plantar Fasciitis
Primary Care
If you have an injury or experience pain when running see your primary care physician or orthopaedic doctor and get the care you need to allow for a long and rewarding running career!!

Internal Medicine
Dr. Rao values a patient-centric approach heavily influenced not only by his extensive orthopedic training but also his internal medicine training. He strives to provide holistic care with shared decision making with his patients with the goals of improving patients’ quality of life, returning patients to their functional goals, and optimizing symptom relief.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dr. Barth served as a hand and wrist consultant for the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards. He is a former President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer of the Washington Orthopaedic Society. He has served on the Board of Councilors of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery representing Washington, DC. He is currently Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hand Surgery, and the Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Dr. Barth was a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery Carpal Tunnel Syndrome committee, which published the evidence- based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Autism
Multiple Sclerosis
Kayla Montgomery, 18 years old, suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. She began as one of the slowest runners on her team but has trained her way to becoming one of the fastest distance runners in the nation-yet Kayla is unable to feel her legs while she runs. As she finishes she collapses into her coaches arms as she cannot stand on her legs.

Ultrasound
A friend suggested Dr. Magur. I read his bio and was quite happily surprised to see the following: “His approach to foot and ankle care is to evaluate the injury or condition, assess the patient’s lifestyle and recommend appropriate treatment measures. When feasible, he recommends nonoperative measures such as medication, therapy, shoewear modifications and orthotics. Surgical discussions are generally reserved for conditions that fail to respond to appropriate conservative management.” That is EXACTLY what I was looking for – someone who would do everything possible BEFORE trying surgery. I had read enough about Jones fractures to know that many of them do mend on their own if the foot is not walked on for 6-8 weeks and adjunct therapy such as electrical bone stimulation or ultrasound pulsing is used. Both of those can be done at home by the patient once a day. To me, the wait was worth it to not undergo surgery.
MRI
Radiology
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
I made an appointment with Dr. Starr at the end of October. A CT scan was ordered and at a follow up visit, Dr. Starr recommended surgery at the earliest possible date. The advanced spinal stenosis had been confirmed with concurrent severe lumbar scoliosis.

Orthopedics
The orthobiologic initiative is centered on a reparative or regenerative approach to your orthopedic problem. This approach uses one’s capacity for healing to help in the treatment of your orthopedic injury. Included in these treatments include plasma rich platelet (PRP) therapy and stem cell treatment. These biologic substances when utilized can assist in promoting the healing process. These treatments can act to decrease inflammation and symptoms, as well as simulate healing in soft tissue and tendon injuries. Additionally, they can potentially act slow joint breakdown and decrease symptoms in the arthritic joint. While a clear scientific consensus with these approaches is still being formulated, this area of regenerative medicine has great potential in orthopedic application in lieu of, or in addition to, a surgical approach. The physicians at Washington Orthopedics and Sports Medicine (WOSM) appreciate the potential of this treatment as opposed to, or in combination with surgery, and believe patient education is essential when considering this approach for your orthopedic problem.

Arthroscopy
For more information on Dr. Wolff and the specialty of hip joint preservation and hip arthroscopy please visit his website at www.andrewwolffmd.com.
Wound Care
Post-operative: Patients are seen in the office shortly after being discharged to receive wound care, pain management, and to establish a post-operative plan of care. To receive specific post-operative instructions, please contact your physician’s medical assistant. Some surgeries require physical therapy regimens which are established by our physicians.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Anthony S. Unger, MD, is a nationally recognized expert in Total Joint Replacement and Minimally Invasive Surgery. He is a regular lecturer, teacher and researcher for these techniques and educates physicians around the world in this discipline. His expertise in Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery draws patients from around the world.
Ankle Surgery
Dr. Magur focuses on conservative management for foot and ankle problems, when feasible. Common conservative treatment measures include shoewear modifications and orthotics, medication (both oral and topical), physical therapy and home exercises, and injections. Should you require surgery, we will explain everything you need to know. All surgical patients are given a packet of material on foot and ankle surgery along with appropriate explanations of what to expect, how to prepare, and how to schedule. If you think of questions later, don’t worry-we have you covered. At WOSM, we endeavor to return every single call and email by the close of the business day.
Joint Replacement
Joint replacement is one of the most effective surgical procedures in all of medicine. It provides significant pain relief and allows patients to restore motion and function. Arthroplasty (joint replacement) is most commonly performed for hip, knee, and shoulder arthritis and is best performed by highly skilled surgeons with surgical expertise and clinical experience. The procedures are typically quite effective and durable for 10-30 years depending on the type of arthritis, joint involved, and several other factors.
Hand Surgery
Dr. Moss is Assistant Clinical Professor at The George Washington University Medical School, and Medical Director of Hand Surgery at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He regularly lectures and mentors Orthopaedic residents and medical students, and collaborates with trainees to conduct research and to publish peer-reviewed scholarly articles. ( Research and Publications ) He recently completed his tenure as President of the Washington, DC Hand Society.
Orthopedic Surgery
Dr. Melvin enjoys the hands-on nature of orthopedic surgery and the tangible results he sees in his patients every day. Easing their pain, restoring their function and quality of life are the best parts of the job. He also greatly values the personal relationships he forms with his patients, getting to know them as individuals and guiding them on the road to recovery.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery allows the surgeon to improve the accuracy of the device whether it is a total knee replacement or partial. The robotic systems give the surgeon real time feedback on the position of the implant in the knee as well as the performance of the knee implant. The robotic systems allow the surgeon to collect information before the implants are placed and guide the surgeon in the precise location of the implant as well as the soft tissue balance of the knee. These attributes are vital to overall function and longevity of the implant.
Arthroscopy
Dr. Wolff is a board-certified fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in hip arthroscopy, hip preservation and sports medicine. He has been in practice in the Washington, DC area since 2008. He is widely recognized as an expert in the field of hip arthroscopy and preservation.

Achilles Tendonitis
The most common age-related injuries are Achilles tendonitis and calf muscle symptoms (such as glut weakness and joint stiffness).
Ankle Sprain
Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
Supination occurs when you have high arches that do not flatten. Your foot stays rigid and does not roll in as it is supposed to, causing less shock absorption. This can result in ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome. To check if you supinate, check your running shoes-they will be worn out along the outside edges.
