Conditions & Procedures
The four surgeons at the Capital Orthopaedic & Sports
Medicine Center have a broad range of training and
experience in every aspect of orthopaedic conditions,
including:
* Bone disorders. Problems affecting the human
skeleton and its system of joints surpass any other
disease group in the frequency with which they disrupt
your normal quality of life.
* Low back pain, including problems such as poor
posture, trauma, herniated disks, and unstable
vertebrae.
* Total joint replacement. Advances in materials and
techniques have resulted in joint replacements
(prostheses) available to replace nearly every joint in the
human body, including hips, knees, shoulders, elbows,
wrists, knuckles, and ankles. Success of such prostheses
for functional use is very high.
* Muscle disorders and sports injuries, including shin
splints, "runner's knee," pulled hamstrings, Achilles
tendinitis, ankle sprains, tennis elbow, bursitis, and
myofasciitis.
* Fractures, both surgical and nonsurgical treatment.
* Joint pain. The surgeons in our practice have
extensive training in the use of arthroscopy for
diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The procedure
utilizes a small fiberoptic camera to see the interior of a
joint. It is usually done on a outpatient basis, and is far
less invasive than open surgery. This generally allows
more rapid healing and and return to activity.
* Other musculoskeletal problems such as osteoporosis
and osteomalacia, arthritis, Paget's disease, scoliosis,
osteomyelitis, bone tumors, spondylosis, bunions, and a
range of foot conditions.
