Orthopedic Surgery

Our surgeons provide arthroscopy, a surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose and treat joint problems in the knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles and hips. The arthroscope contains optic fibers that project an image onto a monitor during the procedure. The image allows the surgeon to see inside the joint with minimal invasiveness. This technology assists with the visualization of torn or damaged cartilage and ligaments, along with other joint problems to facilitate precise solutions for repair. The small incisions made with this technique reduce scarring on the surrounding tissues, as well as provide faster recovery.

Adult Reconstructive Surgery & Total Joint Replacement

Offering the latest advancements in joint replacement surgery, surgeons at Carolina Sports Medicine are experts in minimally invasive techniques.

For individuals needing reconstructive surgery, total joint replacement is often the preferred treatment. The goal of joint replacement is to relieve pain caused by damaged cartilage within the joint. Surgeons at Carolina Sports Medicine replace damaged areas of the joint with metal and plastic surfaces, restoring movement and function. Joint replacements are most common in hips and knees but is also effective for shoulders and elbows.

While recovery from joint replacement surgery depends on numerous factors including severity of joint damage and level of patient mobility pre-surgery—exercising and rebuilding the muscles surrounding the affected joint are important components of the process. Our team will place you on the right track, both in our office and through recommended follow-up strategies to implement at home.
