Spinal News
Spine Procedures - We perform two spine procedures in-house and have experts in two other out-patient spine procedures. Our in-house, spine-related procedures are Mild® and kyphoplasty, and our outpatient procedures are endoscopic spinal decompression and interlaminar decompression and stabilization.
-
-
- Mild® is a procedure that treats lumbar spinal stenosis. That is a narrowing of the space around the spinal nerves in your lower back. The Mild® procedure makes more room for these nerves, relieving painful compression.
- Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine's natural shape.
- Endoscopic spinal decompression is a minimally invasive procedure that can alleviate back pain caused by pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
- Interlaminar decompression and stabilization is a minimally invasive procedure that opens up spinal stenosis and can help stabilize the spine.
-
You can consult our spine and pain team about these procedures to see which is right for you.
Knee Replacement News
A quadriceps-sparing knee replacement can cause less pain and speed recovery. Instead of splitting the quadriceps tendon, it is just moved to the side. Schedule a consultation to see if this may be appropriate for your condition.
