Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that offers orthopedic surgeons the ability to access, navigate and operate on a given joint through small incisions. Conditions treated include activity related joint pain, tendon and cartilage injury in the hip, knee and shoulder, chondromalacia and synovitis.
Dislocated Joints
When one of your joints is forced from its normal position, immediate medical care is necessary. Due to the pain and swelling, patients may not be able to distinguish between a dislocated joint or a broken bone, which requires them to be fully evaluated by a medical professional. The majority of dislocations are the result of a fall, impact or an auto-accident. When your joint becomes dislocated, patients will experience sudden pain and will not be able to move the affected extremity, such as their arm or leg.
Foot and Ankle Repair
Our multidisciplinary, highly trained team of orthopedic surgeons provides comprehensive medical and surgical care of foot and ankle disorders. Conditions treated include arthritis, diabetic foot problems, heel spurs, fractures of the foot, ankle and lower leg, sports injuries and tendon disorders.
Fracture Care
DHR Health Orthopedic Institute surgeons specialize in the evaluation and treatment of many types of bone fractures, including fractures of the arms, legs, shoulders, clavicles, knees, and hips. Fracture care and management of pain involve pharmaceutical treatment plans along with the placement of braces and splints, casting of the extremities, and surgical interventions. Radiological studies performed by certified and experienced technicians help guide our surgeons’ assessments and patient education.
Hand and Upper Extremities
We are dedicated to restoring the function of hands damaged by injury or disease through surgical and non-surgical treatments. Conditions treated include soft tissue sprains, strains and contusions, traumatic injuries, degenerative and rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist and hand fractures.
High-Impact Injuries
Auto-accidents, falls and sports related injuries usually occur with high-impact which can fracture, displace and shatter bones. Any injuries that are sustained during a high-impact activity should promptly be evaluated by an orthpedic trauma team.
Hip Fractures
A fractured hip is extremely painful, immobilizes the patient and if not treated timely or effectively, can result in the deterioration of surrounding pelvic bones. The DHR Health Orthopedic Trauma Institute offers advanced minimally-invasive treatments to provide patients with hip fractures a quicker recovery process with better outcomes.
Joint Replacement
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint. We offer a joint replacement education class for patients prior to surgery.
Orthopedic Trauma
At DHR Health Orthopedic Trauma Institute we treat a wide range of high-impact injuries. Auto-accidents, falls and sports related injuries usually occur with high-impact which can fracture, displace and shatter bones. Any injuries that are sustained during a high-impact activity should promptly be evaluated by an orthopedic team.
Osteomyelitis
Patients can develop a bone infection that is commonly caused after bone surgery, through a staph infection or other infections located in other areas of the body. Patients with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease tend to be at a higher risk due to an increased risk of infection with these conditions. If osteomyelitis is not treated quickly, an abscess can develop in the bone or a blood infection can occur.
Sports Medicine

Sports injuries often include broken bones, sprains, ligament or tendon tears, cartilage injuries, joint instability and muscle weakness.
