  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.

In order to properly treat the condition, our orthopedist in Wantagh performs a detailed orthopedic evaluation. This evaluation consists of a physical examination, a detailed medical history, x-rays, and other additional exams as needed.

• 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.
