Symptoms include trouble lifting your arm above your head, reaching across your body, or reaching behind your back. Can be associated with inflammatory arthritis, thyroid disease, or diabetes.
- Ultrasound
- MRISymptoms of osteoarthritis are pain at the joint, inflammation, stiffness, loss of flexibility and range of motion. A surgeon's evaluation, including an MRI and x-ray, can determine the degree and extent of any cartilage damage and also establish the injury or underlying mechanical problems that may have caused it, such as a missing or damaged meniscus cartilage.
- RadiologyThe Joint Radiology Fellowship Program helps visiting radiologists to create new ways of measuring surgical success. In the program, now in its seventh year in conjunction with Beverly Radiology / RadNet, Inc., fellows from Beverly Radiology gain clinical exposure with The Stone Clinic and contribute to studies at Stone Research Foundation.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyNo two knee joints are exactly the same. So, the first step is patient-specific surgical planning. Before surgery, we take a CT scan of your knee to develop a complete 3D virtual model of your unique knee joint.
- General SurgeryDr. Stone was trained at Harvard University in internal medicine and orthopaedic surgery and at Stanford University in general surgery. His fellowship was in research at the Hospital for Special Surgery and in knee surgery in Lake Tahoe. Dr. Stone is consistently listed as one of the country’s top 25 Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) leaders and ranks amongst the country’s top 75 knee surgeons.

- Robotic SurgeryThe Stone Research Foundation Library of Robotic and Orthobiologic Surgical Techniques is an educational video collection of the innovative procedures performed by Kevin R. Stone, MD at The Stone Clinic. We’ve documented and shared these advanced techniques to help push forward the science of biologic and robotic surgery to orthopaedists across the globe. All these technique videos are available on the Stone Research Foundation website. Watch with caution, these videos contain graphic images of surgery.

- Hip ReplacementStoneFit helps you have FUN while doing this. Since variety is the spice of life, the program focuses on efficient, intense workouts to train the total-body simultaneously, helping to improve all kinds of fitness areas: strength, agility, balance, proprioception, cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, flexibility, power, coordination, and accuracy. The short exercises are completed one after the other, all of this possible even while recovering from an injury, we design custom programs depending on your circumstance. For a severe knee injury, for example, a single leg squat with a Kettlebell reach trains many of the body’s musculature and skills. Active people, recovering from a knee or hip replacement, can combine balance skills standing on a pillow, while swinging a very light kettlebell. This rapidly improves core strength and balance skills. The combinations are endless.

- Sports MedicineWe believe in the power of the body's healing response. In this new “anabolic” era of orthopaedics & sports medicine, we are able to harness and augment natural healing and combine it with advanced medical technologies to repair orthopaedic injuries. We offer injections derived from natural, biologic sources. Learn more about how biologic treatments work and how we can rebuild joints using donor tissue.

- Manual TherapyManual Physical Therapy is skilled soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and/or neural tissue mobilization in order to create mobility, restore tissue health and optimize functional movement. Specific hands-on techniques use pressure, kneading, and manipulation to dramatically improve range of motion and healing of injuries all over the body. Our therapists are experts in manual therapy techniques developed from international and American institutions such as the Folsom Long Term Course, Maitland-Australian Physiotherapy Seminars (MAPS), the Institute of Physical Arts (IPA), and many others.

- Achilles TendonitisAchilles tendon injury: the Achilles is a dense band of tissue that passes behind the ankle joint. Injuries to it vary from mild to severe: tendonitis, a partial rupture, or complete rupture. A complete rupture is debilitating, can cause immense pain, and requires immediate medical/surgical intervention to avoid permanent tissue damage.
- Ankle InstabilityDebridement of built-up scar tissue followed by rebuilding of the unstable ligaments usually provides for excellent stability of the ankle when combined with a guided early exercise program focusing on range of motion, balance, stability, and strength training.
