What Are Orthopedic Specialists?

Physical Therapy for Orthopedic Injuries

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.   

Cutting-Edge Minimally Invasive Surgical Solutions

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.

How Does Minimally Invasive Surgery Work?

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.

    Knee pain Good News for Bad Knees Your knees are subject to a lifetime of repetitive bending, lifting and pushing that can leave them worn out. The stress of these motions causes the knee cartilage – the smooth cushioning tissue that serves as a shock absorber between your bones – to wear thin and become rough and bumpy.
