Athletic injuries at every level — from high-school teams to adults who intend to stay active.
Reconstructive surgery of the shoulder, elbow, and arm to restore stability and motion.
Restoring damaged shoulder and knee joints, including ligament and cartilage work.
Protecting your own joint rather than replacing it, whenever that is a realistic option.
Repair of the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage that make a joint work.
Throwing injuries, instability, and overuse conditions of the shoulder and elbow.
A clear picture of what’s actually injured — history, exam, and imaging — before anyone talks about treatment.
Therapy, activity modification, injections, and bracing resolve a great many sports injuries without an operating room.
When surgery is the right call, it’s done with a clear plan for recovery and a defined path back to activity.
