General Orthopaedics

Every time your body moves, bends, and flexes, your musculoskeletal system makes the complex interactions of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves seem effortless. But, when injuries and diseases cause pain and disability, Rothman’s General Orthopaedic specialists can help. Our physicians are expertly trained to diagnose and treat the wide spectrum of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system. Their goal: to relieve your pain, repair injuries or damage, and return as much functionality of your joints, ligaments, and bones as possible. They do this by using the latest treatments, technology and therapies available.

• Common non-surgical options include medication, exercise and other rehabilitative or alternative therapies. These conservative approaches are usually the first and sometimes the only ones needed to relieve pain and improve movement for many conditions.
• Surgical options include arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery), joint fusion, repair and support with pins, screws and plates (internal fixation), joint replacement and soft tissue repair. These may be combined with non-surgical treatments to help you heal and recover a pain-free life.
