Common Sports Medicine Surgeries
If you need surgery to relieve pain and get you back in the game, our surgeons offer the latest surgical techniques. This includes minimally invasive surgery and arthroscopy, as well as robot-assisted surgery.
Arthroscopy requires only small incisions. Athletes appreciate that they heal more quickly after an arthroscopic procedure than a traditional surgery. We commonly perform:
- Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction
- Cartilage transplantation
- Hip arthroscopy
- Knee arthroscopy
- Shoulder arthroscopy
We also specialize in joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) for athletes. This surgery removes all or part of a damaged joint and replaces it with an artificial joint. For athletes, the most common procedure is shoulder replacement surgery.
