ORTHO SURGERY NEAR YOU AT OUR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY CLINIC
What to Expect from Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves. While many orthopedic issues can be managed with physical therapy or injections, some injuries and conditions require surgical intervention to restore function and relieve pain.
At The Center for Bone & Joint Disease, we care for patients dealing with joint damage, injuries, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal problems that haven’t responded to conservative treatments. Our approach always starts with a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on your condition, goals, and lifestyle.
Our surgical team performs procedures in the following areas:
- Neck & Back: Treating conditions of the spine, including stenosis, scoliosis, and trauma to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions.
- Shoulder: Arthroscopic repairs, shoulder replacements, and treatment of rotator cuff and labral tears for better mobility and pain relief.
- Elbow: Surgical care for tennis elbow, tendon injuries, and elbow joint replacements.
- Hand: Procedures for carpal tunnel, trigger finger, fractures, dislocations, and nerve compression injuries.
- Hip & Pelvis: Total hip replacement (MAKO Robotic Guidance optional), Anterior Approach Total Hip replacement, labral repairs, and trauma-related surgeries to restore mobility and reduce pain.
- Knee: Full and partial knee replacement (MAKO Robotic Guidance optional), ACL repairs, and arthroscopic procedures to address injuries and degeneration.
- Foot & Ankle: Surgeries for bunions, tendon repair, ankle stabilization, and reconstruction of podiatric conditions.
We’re here to answer all your questions, discuss your options, and help you make the best decision for your health and comfort.
ADVANCED ROBOTIC SHOULDER SURGERY IN Florida SPRINGS
Mako Robotic-Assisted Shoulder Replacement
If you've been told you need a shoulder replacement, you now have access to one of the most advanced options available anywhere. Dr. Mijic is the first surgeon in the world to perform robotically assisted shoulder arthroplasty in an outpatient surgery center.
The Mako SmartRobotics system by Stryker has already changed the way we approach hip and knee replacement at The Center for Bone & Joint Disease, and now it's bringing that same level of precision to the shoulder. Before your surgery, a CT scan is used to create a detailed 3D model of your specific shoulder anatomy. Dr. Mijic uses that model to build a personalized surgical plan tailored to your unique bone structure. In the operating room, Mako's robotic arm guides Dr. Mijic through the procedure with real-time feedback, helping ensure the implant is placed exactly as planned. The robot doesn't perform the surgery; Dr. Mijic does, with the added precision that only this technology can provide.
Reverse total shoulder replacement is a procedure designed for patients with severe rotator cuff damage, advanced shoulder arthritis, or a previously failed shoulder surgery. It works by repositioning the ball and socket of the joint, which allows the larger deltoid muscle to take over the work that the rotator cuff can no longer do. Because precise implant placement is so critical to how well this procedure works, robotic guidance makes a real difference in the outcome. And because this is done in an outpatient setting, you go home the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need orthopedic surgery?
If conservative treatments haven’t relieved your pain or restored function, and if your symptoms interfere with daily life or sleep, surgery might be recommended. Our surgeons will thoroughly evaluate your condition before making any recommendations.
What’s the difference between arthroscopic surgery and open surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive and involves smaller incisions, a camera, and specialized tools. It typically results in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery. Open surgery is used for more complex repairs requiring direct access to the area.
Will I need physical therapy after surgery?
Yes. Physical & Occupational Therapy plays a vital role in recovery. Our team will design a rehab plan tailored to your procedure, helping you regain strength, flexibility, and confidence.
