ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Disease and injury of the bones, muscles, tendons and joints are treated by doctors known as orthopedic surgeons. This is a very broad field that helps to take care of fractured bones, aged joints and torn tissues. The use of small video scopes allows these doctors to look into small joints such as the knee, shoulder or ankle to help determine what disease is present and to possibly correct this disease in a minimally invasive manner. Joints that have been destroyed by disease or age are replaced by brand new artificial joints that allow the patients to lead the full active life they were accustomed to prior to the incapacitating joint disease.
