Surgery or Physical Therapy?

Unless your injury is severe (torn ligament or a dislocated joint), our surgeons prefer to treat orthopedic injuries with physical therapy, cortisone injections, and pain medication before opting for surgery. These conservative methods might be just what you need to get rid of the pain associated with an injury to your musculoskeletal system.

When conservative treatments don’t do the trick we begin the discussion about orthopedic surgery. Your surgeon will perform x-rays and additional tests to determine which procedure is best for your situation and will explain it to you in detail. 

Minimally-invasive surgery can be done on an outpatient basis, which means you will get to go home the same day it is performed. Major surgery will require you to stay at our orthopedic surgery center for a couple of days until you can be discharged.

Recovering from orthopedic surgery varies based on your age, overall health, and the severity of your injury. It can take anywhere from three to six months to recover from minor surgery and up to one year to recover from major orthopedic surgery.
