Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction

This surgical procedure replaces a damaged posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The PCL is a band of tissue that connects the femur to the tibia inside the knee.

Learn More

Patellofemoral Replacement

This surgical procedure removes portions of damaged cartilage on the femur in the knee joint that have been rubbing against the underside of the patella, causing pain and loss of mobility.

Learn More

Partial Meniscectomy

The meniscus is a cushion of cartilage. There are two in each knee. If one of these shock absorbers is worn out or hurt, you may need a partial meniscectomy to remove the damaged areas.

Partial Knee Replacement (using OXFORD® implant)

Unlike total knee replacement surgery, this less invasive procedure replaces only the damaged or arthritic parts of the knee.

Learn More

OrthoGlide® Medial Knee Implant

In this outpatient procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin metal implant to resurface lost or moderately damaged cartilage on the inner side of the knee joint, called the medial compartment.

Learn More

Cubital Tunnel Release at the Elbow

This outpatient procedure, performed under general or regional anesthesia, alleviates compression of the ulnar nerve. This nerve travels along the inner side of the elbow and down to the hand.

Learn More

Periacetabular Osteotomy

This noninvasive, outpatient exam is used to measure how quickly nerves conduct electrical signals through the body. NCS is a valuable technique for diagnosing nerve damage. If damage exists, NCS can help a physician find its source.

Partial Hip Resurfacing (Wright)

This surgery replaces the diseased and damaged parts of the femur (thigh bone) with a metal ball component.

Learn More

Mini Total Hip Replacement

This procedure uses a small incision to replace the diseased and damaged portion of the hip joint.

Learn More

Large Bearing Metal-On-Metal Mini Total Hip

This procedure uses a small incision to replace the diseased and damaged portion of the hip joint.

Learn More

Internal Screw Fixation for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)

This surgical procedure is used to stabilize a femoral head that has slipped off the neck of the femur. One or more screws are inserted through the neck and into the femoral head.

Learn More

Hip Hemiarthroplasty (Unipolar)

This surgical procedure replaces the head of a damaged femur with an implant designed to stabilize the femur and restore hip function.

Learn More

Hip Hemiarthroplasty (Bipolar)

This surgical procedure replaces the head of a damaged femur with an implant designed to stabilize the femur and restore hip function.

Learn More

Hip Fracture Treatment with Surgical Screws

This surgical procedure uses metal surgical screws to repair a fracture of the femur. This procedure is typically used for patients who have minimal damage to the bone and minimal shifting from the fracture.

Learn More

Hip Arthroscopy

This outpatient procedure is an examination of the inside of the hip joint. The surgeon uses miniature instruments and a small camera (called an arthroscope) to see inside the joint.

Learn More

Femur Fracture Fixation with Intramedullary Rod

This surgical procedure stabilizes severe fractures of the femur by placing a metal rod into the center of the femur.

Learn More

Femur Fracture Fixation with Dynamic Hip Screw

This surgical procedure uses a metal plate and screws to repair a fractured femur. It retains the femoral head, allowing for more natural movement of the hip joint.

Learn More

Femur Fracture Fixation (Stryker® Gamma Nail)

This procedure stabilizes severe fractures of the femur with a metal rod and screws implanted into the center of the bone. This system provides great strength while the bone heals.

Learn More

Core Decompression for Avascular Necrosis of the Hip

This procedure treats avascular necrosis by removing degenerated and dead bone tissue and creating room for new, healthy tissue to grow. It typically works best for people who are in the earliest stages of the disease.

Learn More

Computer-Assisted Hip Replacement Surgery

In this minimally invasive surgical procedure, the surgeon replaces the hip joint with the aid of a computer guidance system. The system aids the surgeon in preparing and aligning the joint with the highest degree of accuracy.
