• Knee Remove
  Knee

  Common conditions, experts, and specialized services to care for your knees. The knee is a perfect hinge mechanism, stabilized and cushioned by a well-orchestrated system of ligaments, cartilage, and muscles. Unfortunately, your knees take a beating every day. Athletics, work duties and even chores around the house can take a toll. A sudden twist the wrong way, an aggressive sudden movement, or the cumulative effect of long-term wear and tear can ultimately lead to failure in one or more of the structures in your knee. That’s when it’s time to talk to an expert. The knee specialists at Summit Orthopedics provide comprehensive care for the full spectrum of conditions and injuries impacting the knee. When appropriate, their focus is first on non-surgical treatment, using customized conservative tools such as injections, medication, activity modification, bracing, and physical therapy. If your knee injury is more serious, or when conservative measures fail to give you relief, your specialist will discuss the next steps, and together you will determine whether surgery is the right plan. From straightforward meniscus tears to ACL reconstructions and complex total knee replacements, Summit’s knee surgeons have the advanced training and expertise to provide consistently impressive outcomes. Whatever the state of your knee, you can rest assured Summit’s experts will partner with you to meet your goals for a healthier, more active self.
• Hip Remove
  Hip

  Common conditions, experts, and specialized services to care for your hips. In many ways, our hips are the body’s unsung heroes. They carry out a challenging, seemingly contradictory function to support our weight while at the same time allowing for motion in a variety of directions. Hips are critical to our ability to stand, walk, and run. Though versatile, hips are not indestructible. A variety of problems can develop, including arthritis, fractures, inflammation, muscle strains, and even cancer. Common hip complaints include groin pain, clicking and popping, pain with certain movements, pain that moves into our thighs, and difficulty bending. The physicians at Summit Orthopedics have extensive expertise identifying the cause of hip problems and determining a course of action that makes sense for you. Treatments may include exercise, activity modification, or sessions with a physical therapist. In some instances, surgery in the form of hip replacement or hip arthroscopy may be recommended. Whether you’re seeking to ski the slopes of your favorite hill or simply walk upstairs without pain, we can help.
• Elbow Remove
  Elbow

  Common conditions, experts, and specialized services to care for your elbows. For all that goes on in our elbow, it could almost use its own skeletal traffic cop. It’s a place where three long bones meet in the middle portion of our arm, making it one of the more complex structures in the body. Among its other duties, our elbows allow us to extend and flex our forearms and rotate our hands. When pain is experienced in the elbow, it typically results from “overuse” injuries, such as repetitive hand, wrist, or arm movements common in sports, hobbies, and jobs. In fact, several elbow injuries are named after sports activities that often produce elbow pain, such as Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow. Summit Orthopedics provides comprehensive care for elbow injuries using the latest advances in elbow diagnosis, treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation. Whether you’re looking to hit a long drive down the middle of the fairway or simply carry a gallon of milk without pain, we’ll have you there in short time.
