- Osteoporosis
- ArthritisGroundbreaking advancements are being made each year in shoulder surgery and Dr. Kuiper is involved with the development of new procedures and techniques to better treat his patients with athletic-related shoulder injuries as well as osteoarthritis. New bone and soft tissue preserving procedures for shoulder arthritis are available for both total shoulder and reverse total shoulder replacement used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and unrepairable rotator cuff tears. This includes small-stem and stemless total shoulder replacement and computer-navigated shoulder replacement. New arthroscopic repair techniques are also available using all-suture anchors and knotless anchor repairs for labral and rotator cuff tears, Bankart tears, SLAP tears, and shoulder dislocations. Dr. Kuiper also has a special interest in the treatment of frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) using the most advanced noninvasive and arthroscopic protocols to improve function. This translates into a higher success rate and faster recovery.

- Knee Replacement“My name is Jimmy B. I am a 67 year old retiree of the CSX Railroad. I am a high school sports official and have been officiating for 44 years. In July of 2012 I went to Dr. Goodin of Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic concerning pain in my right knee. After some treatment, together with Dr. Goodin, I realized it was time to get a knee replacement. My knee was shot! Officiating basketball is something I really love doing and just knew that this would end my career. Dr. Goodin told me that I should still be able to referee if I did what they told me. I had the surgery in July 2012 and by the first week of August I was officiating high school volleyball, and by the second week of November, I was officiating high school basketball. I had a limp from a torn ACL in 1986 and after replacement surgery, my limp was gone, the pain and aches were gone. I feel like a teenager again. I am so grateful to Dr. Goodin and the entire staff at Louisville Orthopaedic. They have been there for me all the way. Thanks to them and the therapy I received I am blessed to enjoy life doing what I want to do, pain free.” – Jimmy B.
- Knee ArthroscopySpecializes in minimally invasive sports medicine surgeries including shoulder, hip, and knee arthroscopy, as well as shoulder and knee reconstruction, cartilage transplant, and joint preservation.
- Reconstructive SurgeryOftentimes, if not diagnosed early on, a degenerative condition such as knee osteoarthritis will worsen over time, causing severe pain and possibly requiring surgery to relieve the discomfort and improve mobility. Similarly, a ligament injury such as an ACL, MCL, or PCL tear may require reconstructive surgery to repair the damage. In many cases, these procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques that minimize disruption to surrounding tissues, resulting in a faster recovery.
