ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Some of the most dramatic breakthroughs are occurring in the specialty of orthopedic medicine. As one of Southern California’s leaders in this field, we use the latest technology to assure the best recovery for our patients. These advances include the use of arthroscopic instruments and laser techniques. This allows our surgeons to do repairs and reconstructions through a very small incision. This improves the results as well as reducing your recovery time and keeping any scarring to a minimum.

By using cartilage grafting, we have been able to save many patients’ joints from having to be replaced. Another technological innovation known as radio frequency thermalization has allowed us to tighten ligaments and stabilize joints.

If you do need a joint replacement, Orthopedic Medical Center offers the best implants available for shoulders, knees, and hips. Even arthritic changes that affect your hands and feet can now be treated with a new type of implant.

Of course, if you do fracture a bone, it is essential that you receive immediate medical treatment. That is why we are on 24-hour call. If the fracture has moved the bones, our physician must put them back in place for proper healing. This treatment can be done in our offices or at the hospital, depending on the severity.
