Advancing Care With Minimally Invasive Treatments

ACL, MCL, and rotator cuff injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often requiring surgical intervention to restore function and stability. Thanks to advancements in minimally invasive techniques, patients now have access to treatments that offer faster recovery, reduced pain, and exceptional precision.

Our specialists use leading-edge procedures to address these injuries with the highest level of care. Here's how these advanced treatments can benefit you:

ACL Injuries:

  • Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction: Using small incisions and a camera-guided system, our surgeons reconstruct the torn ligament with precision. This approach minimizes tissue damage, reduces scarring, and accelerates recovery.
  • Enhanced Graft Options: Advanced grafting techniques ensure a strong, stable repair tailored to each patient’s needs.

MCL Injuries:

Repair and Reconstruction: Minimally invasive techniques allow for direct repair or reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament, ensuring faster rehabilitation and less disruption to surrounding tissues.
Nonsurgical Innovations: For partial tears, innovative therapies, like orthobiologic injections, can promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Rotator Cuff Injuries:

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Using specialized instruments and a camera, our surgeons repair torn tendons through small incisions, preserving healthy tissue and enhancing recovery.
Biologic Augmentation: Incorporating biologic materials into treatment can accelerate healing and improve tendon strength.

These minimally invasive techniques not only provide outstanding outcomes but also help patients return to their favorite activities sooner. With shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and reduced risk of complications, these advanced procedures are redefining care for ACL, MCL, and rotator cuff injuries.
