Surgeons

  The surgeons of Mid-Tennessee Bone and Joint are expertly trained in the field of Orthopedics. Their extensive knowledge and dedication to their field has built a solid reputation for the best possible care.
• Arthroscopy
  Elbow arthroscopy has been in existence for decades, but to date little innovation in elbow positioning for arthroscopy has occurred. After experiencing disadvantages with lateral decubitus, prone, and supine suspended positioning techniques, the author has changed to a supine positioning technique that stabilizes the humerus vertically while leaving the forearm free for all elbow arthroscopy procedures.
• Pinched Nerve
  The unfortunate truth is that most adults will experience low back or neck pain in their lifetime. In the majority of cases, the pain is self-limiting and resolves with conservative treatment. In some cases, surgery is the best for gaining pain relief or increased mobility. Some conditions that produce a pinched nerve or a narrowing of the spinal canal may require surgery. Our surgeons routinely employ a variety of procedures, including decompression, fusion, and disc replacement.

• Joint Replacement
  Joint replacement surgery is a procedure where a diseased joint is removed and surgically replaced with a prosthesis. The prosthesis can be plastic, metal, or ceramic, and works in the same way as a natural joint. The joints that are replaced most often are the hip and knee, typically due to the extra weight and stress on those joints.

• Orthopedic Surgery
  Dr. Wade did both of my knee replacements and I could not have asked for a better doctor. He is so understanding and takes the time to listen and makes sure you understand what is going to happen before you go into surgery. Dr. Wade has been my doctor for 22 years and if you need any kind of orthopedic surgery, please go see him! I have sent many of my friends to him and they have all been happy.

He also practices general orthopaedics and fracture care.
• Hip Replacement
  I had a direct anterior total hip replacement from Dr. Wade in March 2016. I was able to go to church the following Sunday with just a walker, and I only needed one visit with a physical therapist because of how well I was progressing. Dr. Wade is a wonderful, sweet doctor, and I am so happy with what he did for me! I was in so much pain before and now I can keep up with the grandkids. I would recommend Dr. Wade and this surgery to anyone!
• Knee Replacement
  There are a variety of joint problems that can ultimately lead to knee surgery. A key reason is arthritis which can present with pain, stiffness and inflammation in the joints. For those over 60, osteoarthritis is typically the most common form. The progressive wear and tear on joints and cartilage leads to limited range of motion, significant pain deep within the joint, or occasionally the feeling of your bones catching or grating against each other. A knee replacement typically relieves the pain and discomfort associated with this degenerative condition. Knee replacements can also be used to treat knee pain related to a previous trauma or injury to the knee.

• Aquatic Therapy
  One of the best benefits of including MTBJ Physical Therapy in your rehabilitation plan is the use of our HydroWorx® Therapy Pool. HydroWorx is an industry leader in the area of aquatic therapy equipment. MTBJ is one of very few facilities in the Middle Tennessee area to have this equipment on site. The pool is equipped with an underwater treadmill to enable patients with limited mobility the opportunity to rebuild their strength. While land weights can cause added stress and pain on an injured part of the body, aquatic therapy uses the water’s natural resistance to reduce forces on weight-bearing joints. The result is improved motion and flexibility when used in conjunction with a land based therapy plan.
