Orthopedic Treatments We Offer

Fractures

A fracture is a break or bone crack, often caused by trauma such as a fall or impact.

Treatment depends on the severity and location of the break, ranging from casting and bracing to surgical intervention for complex fractures.

Trust our experienced team to manage your fracture and guide you through recovery.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis, or tendinitis, is the inflammation of a tendon, typically caused by repetitive activities or overuse.

Tendonitis treatments include rest, ice therapy, NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, physical therapy to strengthen the affected area, corticosteroid injections, PRP therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), bracing or splinting, ultrasound therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. Lifestyle modifications are also recommended to prevent recurrence.

Arthritis

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints, leading to symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness.

Arthritis treatments include pain management with NSAIDs or acetaminophen, physical therapy to improve joint function, corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, biologics for targeted immune response control, lifestyle modifications such as weight management and exercise, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions like joint replacement.

Sprains & Strains

Sprains involve the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, while strains affect muscles or tendons, often due to overuse or sudden injury. Both conditions can lead to pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

Treatment typically includes rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and physical therapy to restore function and prevent further injury.

Consult our specialists to ensure effective recovery and regain full mobility.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel ending is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist’s carpal tunnel, resulting in numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and forearm.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

 

Treatment ranges from wrist splints and anti-inflammatory medications to surgery in severe cases.

Wrist Fracture

A wrist fracture occurs when one or more of the wrist bones break, commonly due to falls onto an outstretched hand, traffic accidents, or contact sports.

 Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the wrist. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the fracture and may include immobilization with a cast or splint, and in more severe cases, surgery to realign the bones.

 

Post-treatment physical therapy is essential to regain mobility and strength.

Frequent Asked Questions

General

Yes, each of our locations takes pride in being registered with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and achieving accreditation by The Joint Commission. With these two associations, we ensure our patients receive the highest-quality care coupled with detailed attention to patient safety throughout the process.

Surgery is usually arranged 3 to 4 weeks after your visit with the surgen. This time interval allows to complete any required medical clearances and lab work. That said, we understand the impact of severe pain and can often expedite the surgery date if required.

Although every patient in situation is unique, often times a minimally invasive surgical approach may be available. At University Orthopedic Care, our surgeons utilize the most advanced approaches for numerous benefits:

  • The entire procedure is conducted through a small incision ranging from one and a half inches to a quarter inch.
  • MIS significantly decreases the amount of an anatomic disruption and cutting through tissues.
  • Recovery time with MIS is significantly shorter than that required for traditional exposure surgical methods.

Choosing the right orthopedic specialist is essential for optimal recovery, and experience plays a critical role in achieving the best outcomes.

Look for a specialist with board certification and advanced fellowship training in relevant areas like joint replacement or complex fracture care.

At University Orthopedic Care, our board-certified experts bring years of experience and utilize cutting-edge technology to treat a variety of conditions.
