Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics entails the prevention and correction of injuries to joints, muscles, ligaments and cartilage throughout the body, including the spine, hip, knee, shoulder, hand, elbow, and foot and ankle. Common surgeries include arthroscopy, hip and knee replacements, and ACL reconstruction. The orthopaedic industry is becoming more specialized, and physicians are studying, training and practicing medicine on a specific area of the body or specific surgical procedures. And numerous advancements in procedures and technology are emerging. For example, orthopaedic surgeons are making smaller incisions during a procedure called minimally invasive surgery, which reduces tissue trauma and results in less scarring, quicker recovery times and a faster return on living an active lifestyle. At Ohio Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, we offer a broad range of orthopaedic services in order to provide outstanding, specialized care to each patient.
