ORTHOPAEDIC SERVICESGeneral Orthopaedics Our Orthopaedic surgeons have been trained in general Orthopaedics. All Orthopaedic surgeons must undergo four years of medical school in addition to five years of residency. Most orthopaedic conditions can be seen by the majority of our physicians. However, there are times when a specialist is needed. Each of our surgeons is a specialist (fellowship trained) in a particular area of orthopaedic medicine. If a specialist is recommended, your treating physician would refer you to the best specialist for that condition. Our call center representatives are trained to assist in finding the appropriate physician for each condition. Give us a call at 972-492-1334 and a representative will assist you.

Sports Medicine
Definition:
Sports medicine is a medical specialty involving physicians,
physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other health care professionals
trained to diagnose, treat, research, educate, and prevent athletic injuries.
This team of professionals works together to not only to help prevent
injuries with proper preparation, but enables an athlete to safely return
to his or her sport as soon as possible after an injury or medical problem.

Arthroscopic Surgery
Explanation:
The surgeon makes a tiny incision in the area around
the joint and then inserts a tubular instrument called an arthroscope. The
arthroscope contains a light and a small camera, which projects an enlarged
image of the interior of the joint onto a video monitor so that the surgeon
can view it. If the joint needs repair, the surgeon can insert
surgical instruments into the joint through the arthroscope or through
additional small incisions.
Types of injuries and conditions treated with Arthroscopy:
