Orthopedic Extremity Care

Orthopedic extremity care focuses on diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating conditions that affect the upper and lower limbs — including the shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. These extremities are essential to everyday function and mobility, and injuries or chronic conditions in these areas can significantly impact quality of life.

 

 

Our orthopedic specialists are trained in advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore function, reduce pain, and help patients return to their daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.

Common Conditions & Symptoms

Orthopedic extremity problems can stem from injuries, arthritis, overuse, or degenerative diseases. Common symptoms include:
  • Persistent joint or limb pain
  • Swelling or inflammation in arms or legs
  • Stiffness or decreased range of motion
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness
  • Difficulty walking, bending, or lifting
  • Pain after activity or prolonged use
  • Joint instability or locking
These symptoms may be signs of underlying issues such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, fractures, ligament tears, or degenerative joint disease.
 

Common Surgical Treatments

When conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections are not enough, surgical intervention may be necessary. Some of the most common extremity procedures we perform include:

Total Hip Replacement

Used to treat severe arthritis or injury, a total hip replacement involves removing the damaged ball-and-socket joint and replacing it with a prosthetic implant. This surgery relieves pain, restores mobility, and improves hip function.

Total Knee Replacement

In this procedure, worn-out knee joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components designed to mimic natural joint movement. It is commonly recommended for patients with advanced osteoarthritis or traumatic damage to the knee joint.

Additional Surgeries We Offer:
  • Shoulder replacement or arthroscopy
  • Rotator cuff repair
  • ACL and meniscus repair
  • Carpal tunnel release
  • Ankle fusion or replacement
  • Fracture fixation (plates, screws, rods)
  • Tendon and ligament reconstruction
