SERVICES
Here at Advanced Orthopedics & Joint Prevention, our orthopedist strives to provide the highest quality of orthopedic care possible. Some of our services provided include:
Arthroscopy
Our orthopedist utilizes unique cameras and equipment to help get a better visualization of the affected joint to properly diagnose and treat the complication.
Joint replacement
Our orthopedist removes the damaged or arthritic joint and replaces it with an artificial joint that is called a prosthesis.
Fusion
During this process, the bones are “welded” together using bone grafts and internal devices, such as metal rods.
HOW LONG IS RECOVERY FROM A SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY?
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgery performed to repair or examine parts in or around the shoulder joint. Although the recovery time is much shorter as compared to open surgeries, shoulder arthroscopy recovery will generally take from 1-6 months. This may also depend on what was performed as well as the age and strength of the patient. Our sports medicine doctors in Brooklyn are highly experienced in performing shoulder arthroscopy procedures. Contact us to receive more information about our services.
In order to properly treat the condition, our sports medicine doctors in Brooklyn perform a detailed orthopedic evaluation. This evaluation consists of a physical examination, a detailed medical history, x-rays, and other additional exams.
- The physical examination helps our orthopedist evaluate important aspects of the musculoskeletal system, such as the strength, range of motion, swelling, and reflexes.
- The medical history allows our orthopedist to properly evaluate the overall health and possible causes of joint pain.
- X-rays are the next stage in making the diagnosis. X-ray images help display the amount of joint damage or deformity that exists.
