We handle sports medicine, injuries and lower extremity surgeries.

The Orthopedic Process

The orthopedic process used by our doctors does not always include recommendations for surgery at the outset. Unless your injury is severe or your pain is debilitating, surgery will be the last treatment option following a few conservative options at our center near Takoma Park, MD. Conservative treatment options include physical therapy, cortisone injections, and pain medication.

Should these initial treatment methods not work in relieving your pain, an additional appointment with a surgeon will determine which surgical method is best for your injury. Minor injuries can be repaired using minimally-invasive, same-day, outpatient orthopedic surgery. Major injuries will be treated using joint replacement surgery that requires a three-day stay in the hospital.

After the surgery is complete you will be removed to a recovery room and then discharged from the hospital. You will be sent home with a list of instructions that you should follow closely to improve your chances of healing properly. Once you are far enough away from the surgery you can begin physical therapy.

It will take anywhere from three to six months to recover from minor orthopedic surgery and up to one year for major orthopedic surgery. Every patient recovers at a different pace because of various factors, which include the following:

 

  • The age of the patient
  • The overall health of the patient
  • The severity of the injury
  • The surgical procedure required
  • The patient’s adherence to post-op instructions
