Orthopedics

Our foot and ankle specialists provide treatments for a wide range of complaints, including bunions, stiff big toe (hallux rigidus), and toe deformities such as hammer toe, claw toe and mallet toe.

Our team can help you with all musculoskeletal ailments (conditions that affect your muscles, joints, ligaments and bones) not related to injury. Treatment will vary depending on your individual circumstances, but may include physical or occupational therapy, medication or surgery. 

Nearly everyone experiences some degeneration of the intervertebral discs or spinal joints by the age of 40. Non-surgical treatments are often highly effective as an initial approach, but if not, surgical options are possible. Cervical disc replacement surgery involves removing a diseased cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial one.

We use state-of-the-art implants and devices to help correct limb deformities, whether they are congenital (something you were born with), caused by an injury or medical condition, or developmental. Your individual treatment plan will be created based on a range of factors, including the location of the deformity and whether treatment is needed for function, health or cosmetic reasons.

Our limb reconstruction service deals with most deformity correction surgeries, using external and internal devices to correct alignment and lengthen bones. For your convenience, surgeries are also held at regional hospitals outside JHAH.

If you or a family member are suffering from osteoarthritis, we can help. Treatments include therapeutic injections for pain relief, advanced joint reconstruction and joint replacements.

We treat injuries ranging from strains and sprains to major high-energy and compound injuries. Repetitive strain injuries (RSI), tendonitis and bursitis are also treated by our experts, who may recommend a combination of medication and physical or occupational therapy.

Our bone cancer experts may advise that surgery is needed to remove a tumor. Often, a surrounding area of normal bone will also be removed to help relieve symptoms.
