- MRIOne of the most widely used imaging tests for diagnostic purposes is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These scans will help your provider to make a correct diagnosis for proper treatment. Many orthopedic practices have their own MRI machine on-site in order to give a quick assessment of the patient’s condition.

- OrthopedicsThe other way to become proficient in a specific area of orthopedics is by taking courses for continuing education and developing an expertise in a specific facet of orthopedics independently. Like most fellowship trained surgeons, these doctors choose to focus their practice in that sub-specialty area.

- ArthroscopySports medicine is concerned with the prevention and treatment of injuries and illnesses sustained during athletic or “active type” activities. The types of injuries that sports medicine physicians encounter can be divided into two groups. Major injuries are those sustained in an instant, such as a fractured leg or dislocated shoulder. They require orthopedic care, such as setting a fracture or repairing a torn ligament. To assist in assessing and treating musculoskeletal injuries with as little trauma as possible, modern arthroscopy techniques are part of the sports medicine physician’s repertoire. The second group is generally referred to as “overuse” injuries; conditions caused by repeated and excessive stress. Tendonitis and stress fractures fall into this category. Ideally, the athlete can continue with the athletic activity while under treatment, or at least return to the activity as quickly as possible. To aid in recovery and prevent recurrence of injuries, physical therapy is invaluable in stretching and strengthening muscles and other soft tissue surrounding bones and joints.

- Ankle SurgeryUpon graduation from medical school, a physician must complete a five to six year residency to become an orthopedic surgeon. After finishing residency, some orthopedic surgeons choose to apply for focused training in a fellowship program. The fellowship is in a sub-specialty area of orthopedics, such as sports medicine, spine surgery, foot and ankle surgery, shoulder surgery or hand surgery. The fellowship exposes the physician to a high volume of complex surgical cases in that particular sub-specialty area of orthopedics. Fellowships usually last one to two years.
- Joint ReplacementIf conservative treatment fails to relieve the symptoms of elbow arthritis, your physician may recommend surgical treatment. There are several options for treating advanced osteoarthritis of the elbow, including elbow fusion (also called arthrodesis) and elbow joint replacement (known as total elbow arthroplasty), which replaces the elbow joint with artificial components.
- Hand SurgeryWhen the hand or fingers malfunction for any reason, it can have dramatic consequences on a patient of any age. The hand specialists at Lancaster Orthopedic Group use both surgical and non-surgical methods for treating conditions and injuries of the hands. Our fellowship-trained hand specialists first evaluate the issue and then collaborate with the patient to look at options based on the patient’s expectations and lifestyle. Prompt detection and evaluation can often prevent the need for surgery. When problems fail to respond to non-surgical methods, a minimally-invasive surgical procedure may help. Hand surgery is an orthopedic procedure performed for a wide variety of reasons.

- Knee ReplacementOne of the most common questions we get after a patient has had a knee replacement is, Can I kneel on my new knee? A recent study shows the answer is, Yes! A study published in the Journal of Arthroplasty included a simple protocol for kneeling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The new findings are based […]
- BotoxInjections are one of the most effective treatment options for pain management, as they block nerve signals to relieve pain and inflammation. These injections are administered directly into the affected area, along with a local anesthetic to relieve any potential discomfort, and may be composed of corticosteroids, Botox, viscosupplementation, sclerosing solutions or other substances.

- Sports MedicineThe field of medicine is vast and constantly changing. As new science and technology evolves, so too does the practice of medicine and the advancement of its subspecialties. One such advancement is the field of sports medicine. As the influence of sports and athletics rapidly expanded within our culture, it became clear that medical care for the athlete meant more than just orthopedic care for the professional or elite athlete. It also meant care for people who participated in recreational athletics or simply used exercise to stay healthy and active.

- Frozen Shoulder
- Tennis ElbowThe elbow is one of the more complex structures in the body, allowing us to extend and flex our forearms and rotate our hands. When pain is experienced in the elbow, it typically results from “overuse” injuries, such as repetitive hand, wrist, or arm movements common in sports, hobbies, and jobs. In fact, several elbow injuries are named after sports activities that often produce elbow pain, such as Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow.
