Radiologist

• MRI
  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses, and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone, and virtually all other internal body structures. It is especially useful in orthopaedics for obtaining images with detailed contrast between the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and other bone or joint structures.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
• Orthopedics
  Though injuries of the hand, elbow, or wrist may not compromise your ability to walk and get around, having limited use of your hands can severely diminish your quality of life. Hand and wrist injuries are increasingly common, as many people put high stress on their wrists with deskbound careers that involve long hours of typing. Treatment of injuries in the hand require precise surgical techniques, because the structure of the hand is so complex. Similarly, there are many subtle nuances that can limit the success of elbow and wrist surgeries, so you will only want to entrust your care to the most experienced surgeons who are dedicated to modern advancements in orthopaedic care. MK Orthopedics can deliver this high level of care for the hands, wrists, and elbows, offering a complete range of treatments from conservative therapies to complex surgical procedures.
• Arthroscopy
  Surgery – Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon can see inside the joint through specialized tools and a flexible camera. During this same procedure, tissues may be repaired. Arthroscopy can facilitate a wide range of procedures, including rotator cuff repair, ligament repair, removal of the labrum, or removal of bone spurs.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Following diagnostic procedures with imaging and physical examination of the foot and ankle, your doctor will discuss the right course of treatment. Often, minimally invasive surgery is beneficial, because it can eliminate damaged tissues and repair those that have been fractured, dislocated, or torn. In some cases, conservative treatment options may be appropriate, but more complex injuries may not respond to these therapies.
• Ankle Surgery
  There are some injuries and defects that may not be corrected by conservative treatments, so surgery will be necessary to restoring the ankle function. While surgery will pose a difficult recovery in which the ankle will not be able to bear full weight for several weeks, the long-term recovery of the joint will be successful. Ankle surgery may be the only way to ensure that an individual can continue to comfortably walk and participate in physical activity, which is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Arthroscopy
  Definitive diagnosis of hip problems – While MRIs and other diagnostic procedures can reveal the various types of damage, it may not always be clear what types of injuries have occurred in the hip joint or the extent to which damage is present. Arthroscopy will provide a definitive diagnosis to facilitate accurate treatment, thereby reducing the need for further surgeries and pain management treatment.
• Hip Replacement
  Anterior hip replacement surgery is a tissue-sparing procedure, in which the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front of the body, rather than the side or the back where more muscle tissue is present. With specialized surgical tools, the procedure can take place through a smaller incision site without the need to detach muscle tissues from the bones. This type of surgery has several advantages, and it is a viable procedure for many individuals who qualify for more conventional hip replacement.
• Knee Replacement
  For patients who are not ideal candidates for knee replacement primarily due to young age, cartilage transplantation can be an ideal solution. This procedure can facilitate activities that have been limited by pain and stiffness in the knees, allowing the restoration of an active and healthy lifestyle. Here’s a closer look at the benefits you can expect from the Carticel Transplant Procedure.
• Knee Arthroscopy
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Surgical Care – In some cases, the damage is too severe to respond to conservative therapies, so surgery will become necessary. Reconstructive surgery through arthroscopy is a minimally invasive and reliable surgical procedure that can restore the function of the hand or repair damage in the wrist or elbow.
