If you are looking for Midtown NYC ankle surgery, this is your best choice.

When your ankle is unstable and you have had one sprain too many, ankle arthroscopy is the minimally invasive Midtown NYC ankle surgery procedure that we use to treat problems in the ankle joint. Ankle arthroscopy uses a thin fiber-optic camera (arthroscope) that can magnify and transmit images of the ankle to a video screen. A very small incision is made and the scope is passed into the joint. The advantages of this type of ankle surgery include a faster recovery, smaller scars, and less post-surgical discomfort. The goals of ankle surgery are to reduce ankle pain and improve overall function. Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat different disorders of the ankle joint. Among these are ankle arthritis and fractures, ankle instability, anterior or posterior ankle impingement when bone or soft tissue at the front or back of the ankle joint becomes inflamed, arthrofibrosis which is scar tissue within the ankle, infection, free floating cartilage, bone, and scar tissue, osteochondral defect, or areas of damaged cartilage and bone, ankle synovitis where the soft tissue lining of the joint becomes inflamed, and any unexplained ankle pain.

The complex design of the ankle makes it a very stable and strong joint. It can withstand 1.5 times an individual’s body weight when walking, and up to eight times the body weight when running. Normal ankle function is necessary for a smooth and effortless gait. Any conditions or injuries that disturb the normal function of the ankle can make activities painful and difficult. Arthroscopic ankle surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of ankle problems. It can be useful in treating a variety of intra-articular conditions such as those caused by trauma, degenerative changes, inflammatory conditions, neoplastic conditions, as well as investigating the source of unexplained ankle symptoms. Because of its minimally invasive nature, ankle arthroscopy can most often be performed as an outpatient surgery. It is also generally associated with faster rehabilitation times than open surgery. If you need Midtown NYC ankle surgery, there is only one orthopedic surgeon for your medical needs. Call for an appointment today and we’ll get you back on your feet in no time.

Midtown Manhattan shoulder surgery

If you are looking for a highly skilled orthopaedist in Midtown Manhattan, consider 424 Orthopaedics. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Stuart Springer, a Board Certified surgeon and fellow at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and Arthroscopy Association of North America, uses the most current state of the art procedures to repair and treat your orthopedic injuries. This innovative orthopaedist has refined techniques of repairing torn knee ligaments arthroscopically, as well as correcting recurrent dislocations of shoulders and knee caps by arthroscopic methods. This minimally invasive technique can often be performed on an outpatient basis, speeding your recovery and getting you back doing what you enjoy quickly and safely with minimal post-operative discomfort. If you are looking for Midtown Manhattan shoulder surgery, this is your best choice.

If you feel pain when putting on your coat or even reaching for an object, you might have a small, sharp bone spur grinding at the smooth tendons of your shoulder’s rotator cuff. A tear of the rotator cuff is a common injury in which the tendons are pulled off their insertion on the arm bone, the humerus. This often leads to pain and weakness in the shoulder and upper arm requiring surgery to remedy. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive procedure to reattach rotator cuff tendon tears. Our surgeon operates on your shoulder using small incisions, an arthroscope to see within the joint, and small instruments to make the necessary repairs. The procedure typically leads to a faster recovery time with less inflammation, discomfort, and scarring than the more traditional open approach. The Midtown Manhattan shoulder surgery is an expert at treating rotator cuff injuries and uses state of the art techniques to achieve success.

In order to evaluate the condition of the shoulder joint and the extent of the your injury, the Midtown Manhattan shoulder surgery uses an open extremity MRI. This machine is a highly advanced imaging device that uses the latest technology available. In addition, the exam is performed in an open extremity scanner meaning your head, and most of your body, is out of the scanner magnet reducing the likelihood of claustrophobia in most patients. Because our we offer this scan onsite in our office, this service can be provided on the day of your visit, or very soon thereafter. In many cases we receive the official interpretation of the MRI on the day of your exam and any remaining information within 24 hours. This allows us to more accurately diagnose your problem and discuss treatment options without costly delays. Here at 424 Orthopaedics, we believe in forming an alliance with our patients to work closely to achieve optimum recovery and function as quickly and completely as possible.

Hip replacement in Midtown, also known as total hip arthroplasty, refers to a surgical procedure during which the damaged bone and cartilage in the hip joint is removed and replaced with new artificial components. A hip replacement procedure may be considered when chronic hip pain and disability have not responded to conservative treatment and interfere with normal daily activities. The hip joint is located at the meeting point of the rounded head of the femur and the cavity-shaped acetabulum of the pelvic bone. It is a ball and socket joint with the rounded head of the femur being the ball and the curved depression, known as the acetabulum, being the socket. The hip joint is one of the largest weight bearing joints in the body. It withstands the tremendous forces that activities such as walking, running, and jumping generate. As one of the most flexible joints in the body, the hip allows a greater range of motion than all of the other joints with the exception of the shoulder. We treat femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip bursitis, labral tears, replacement, resurfacing, and iliotibial band syndrome.

Arthroscopic repair for hip replacement in Midtown is a specialty of the Dr. Springer. A small incision, about the size of a grain of rice, is made and a scope with a camera on the end is passed into your hip joint. The doctor is able to move the scope around the joint as images are relayed to a large screen. This accessibility helps avoid larger incisions and trauma within the joint. Surgical tools also use the same access site and repair the damage. Recovery is faster than traditional, open surgery, the scar is much smaller, and post-operative discomfort is minimal. So if you have hip pain and need a skilled surgeon, come in for an appointment.

One of our specialties in Midtown arthroscopy surgery. Arthroscopy is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. The doctor inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor. This allows the doctor to see inside your joint without making a large incision. Surgeons can even repair some types of joint damage during arthroscopy with pencil-thin surgical instruments inserted through additional small incisions. Knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, and hip joints are often treated using arthroscopy. Some conditions which benefit from this minimally invasive procedure may include loose bone fragments, damaged or torn cartilage, inflamed joint linings, joint infections, torn ligaments, and scarring within the joint from injury or disease. Recovery from arthroscopic surgery is also faster than traditional ‘open’ surgery, the scarring is minimal, and post-operative discomfort is mild. In some cases, this surgery can be performed on an out patient basis, making your recovery at home more comfortable.

Our state-of-the-art orthopaedic practice utilizes two Floroscan machines and an open MRI. We have a full rehabilitation center and we are conveniently located in Midtown arthroscopy.

Surgery is sometimes unavoidable, but that doesn’t mean that it has to mean open surgery, and a long and difficult road to recovery. Here at 424 Orthopaedics, we specialize in arthroscopic surgery, which is far less invasive and promotes quicker healing and rehabilitation. This can be done on the hip, knee, shoulder, or ankle.

Our orthopaedic surgeon in Midtown East is pleased to offer arthroscopic procedures because they produce outstanding results with the use of advanced technology. When you undergo typical open surgery, it requires that a full incision be made so that access can be gained to the area to be worked on. As a result, there is more trauma to the body, more chance for complications, and more effort, energy, and time needed for healing. By contrast, when our orthopaedic surgeon in Midtown East performs arthroscopy, only a very tiny cut is needed. This is because the surgery is done by inserting a camera that is as small as a grain of rice into the opening, which then produces images on a computer screen that allows our surgeon a full and unobstructed view. Then, equally small instruments are inserted to make the necessary repairs. Because of the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, most of them can be done on an outpatient basis. Recovery is far quicker, too. And while not every injury or issue can be treated with arthroscopy, many can. As we mentioned earlier, this surgery can be utilized for concerns that relate to your hip, knee, shoulder, or ankle. There is no doubt that the efficiency of this method of treatment is essential so that you can go back to work right away, or return to participating in your sport of choice, whether you are a casual athlete or a professional.

Schedule an examination, evaluation, and consultation with our orthopaedic surgeon in Midtown East. Call us today. Arthroscopic surgery just may be the ideal solution.

Midtown East Knee Surgeon

Orthopaedist in Midtown East

Midtown East knee surgeon

Midtown East knee surgeon

If you are looking for an expert orthopedist who can perform knee surgery, come and see us at 424 Orthopaedics. Our Midtown East knee surgeon will be able to help you with your knee pain problems, quite possibly with the use of knee arthroscopy; our expert and highly-trained orthopaedic surgeon is Dr. Stuart Springer.

At our practice, our expert orthopaedist may use knee arthroscopic knee to solve your painful knee problem. Arthroscopy allows our orthopaedist to both diagnose and treat joint problems using this minimally-invasive surgical procedure. During arthroscopy, a tiny camera called an arthroscope is actually put into the joint through a tiny incision. Our orthopaedist can then view the video that is being captured by the arthroscope on a large viewing screen. Miniaturized surgical instruments are actually used to perform tasks needed to be done by the doctor. These instruments can be used to repair the joint, and are inserted through other tiny incisions. There are many advantages to having arthroscopic surgery instead of open surgery. Since our orthopaedist will only need to make very small incisions, there is much less disruption to the tissue in the surrounding area. Any post-operative pain is greatly reduced, and the patient is generally able to recover in a much shorter amount of time. Oftentimes, arthroscopic surgery is performed on an outpatient procedure. Our Midtown East knee surgeon will use knee arthroscopy to identify areas of pain, and to remove or repair damaged knee tissue. The arthroscopy can be used to treat many different types of knee problems including: damaged ligaments; torn meniscal cartilage; remove pieces of torn cartilage from the joint; removal of a cyst in the joint; to fix some fractures of the bones in the knee; or to fix problems with the lining of the joint.
