Patients in Dorchester don’t need to travel far to receive the highest quality sports medicine and orthopedic services in Massachusetts. They can trust the dedicated and experienced orthopedic specialists at Carney Hospital to provide comprehensive diagnostics, therapeutic care and orthopedic surgery, including joint replacement surgery.

We also specialize in treating people with all types of arthritis and osteoarthritis, providing minimally invasive treatments as well as traditional surgical solutions up to and including complex joint replacement surgeries.
Orthopedists deal with all things related to the body’s musculoskeletal system, including treating defects, diseases and injuries. Our orthopedic team excels at accurately diagnosing and treating a wide range of joint, tendon, ligament and skeletal problems. We pride ourselves on the expert skill of our board-certified orthopedic surgeons but also have a team skilled in the development of non-invasive rehabilitation and physical therapy treatment plans.
Resorting to surgery is often a last resort for many patients who are struggling with back pain, osteoarthritis or have suffered a sports or workplace injury. Our orthopedic team works closely with our physical therapy specialists to develop individualized treatment programs intended to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore function.
We also help educate patients on techniques and ongoing exercise they can use to prevent the same or similar injuries from recurring.
Our orthopedic surgeons utilize advanced surgical technology to reduce surrounding tissue damage, improve recovery times and minimize surgical scarring. Many of these state-of-the-art surgical procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, so you will be able to go home the same day your procedure is performed.
A very small camera, called an endoscope, is threaded through a small incision near the surgical site. The endoscope will allow your orthopedic surgeon to clearly visualize the joint or treatment area on a plasma screen monitor in the surgical suite. The surgeon will make additional small incisions, often referred to as keyhole incisions, through which they pass small surgical instruments.
Orthopedic surgeons trained in endoscopic surgery can perform an array of surgical procedures using small instruments, providing a significant leap forward in patient experiences and results.
The outpatient nature of these procedures means patients who undergo minimally invasive surgeries require a much shorter hospital stay, and the small incisions result in less blood loss, lower infection risk, faster recovery and reduced scarring.
Not every orthopedic surgery can be performed endoscopically, especially more complex total joint replacement surgeries. If you require orthopedic surgery in Dorchester, MA, contact the specialists at Carney Hospital by calling 617-506-4930.
