Fracture Repair & Trauma Surgery
Internal fixation, realignment, and emergency orthopedic care for displaced fractures and complicated injuries.
Ligament & Tendon Reconstruction
Includes ACL reconstrucion, rotator cuff repair, and Achilles tendon surgery, using grafts or synthetic supports.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Whenever possible, our surgeons use keyhole techniques to reduce incision size, blood loss, and downtime.
