  Orthopedic services are offered under the Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic and include specialized practice areas in spine, hand, joint, sports medicine and trauma. These are, in turn, supported by Hughston Diagnostics, which provides ultrahigh-resolution imaging through a 1.5 Tesla GE MRI machine; Hughston Sports, a state-of-the-art exercise and training facility; and Hughston Rehabilitation, an advanced physical therapy facility providing focused care in four specialty departments: Orthopedics/Sports Medicine, Spine, Upper Extremity/Hands and Industrial Medicine.

• Orthopedics
  Also in high demand are innovative medical videos produced in the television studio by the capable staff of the Medical Television department. Foundation personnel have created a library of interactive videodiscs for education and training in orthopedics. In recent years, the Foundation staff has created more than 1,000 educational presentations for the physicians of Hughston Clinic for use at national and international medical meetings. These presentations and scientific exhibits are placing critical, up-to-date information in the hands of people who are putting it to work now.
• Joint Replacement
• Orthopedic Surgery
  With an exciting new approach called orthobiologics, our goal is to aid the body’s response by using orthobiologic products, which are substances naturally found in the body. In particular, research attention has been on using adipose (fat) tissue, scaffolds, stem cells, and growth factors in orthopedic surgery and nonsurgical treatments. These procedures are minimally invasive and while no treatment can fully heal damaged joints, these approaches are showing promise in an array of conditions.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  We are responsible to ensure that our patients receive only the highest level of quality treatment for musculoskeletal injury and disease. This responsibility includes the understanding of all aspects of human performance; the application of techniques and procedures learned through sports medicine, research, education and training focused on improving the quality of life for everyone.
