Frequently Asked Questions About Our Orthopedic Surgeons & Treatments

What Conditions Does an Orthopedic Surgeon Treat?

An orthopedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. At Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, our team treats a wide range of orthopedic issues, from arthritis and fractures to sports injuries and degenerative joint conditions. Whether you need non-surgical care or a procedure like a knee replacement, we tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs.

When Should I See a Foot Surgeon?

If you are experiencing persistent foot pain, difficulty walking, or have a condition such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, or Achilles tendon injuries, a foot surgeon can evaluate your condition and recommend treatment. Our specialists at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic provide both conservative care and surgical interventions to relieve pain and restore mobility.

What Is Tommy John Surgery, and Who Needs It?

Tommy John surgery, or ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, is a procedure commonly performed on athletes, especially baseball pitchers, who suffer from a torn UCL in the elbow. Our orthopedic surgeons offer evaluation and treatment options for elbow injuries, including non-surgical therapies and, when necessary, advanced surgical solutions.

How Do I Know If I Need a Knee Replacement?

A knee replacement may be recommended if you experience severe knee pain, stiffness, or loss of function that doesn’t improve with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections. Our orthopedic surgeons specialize in minimally invasive knee replacement techniques to help patients regain mobility and reduce pain.

What Are the Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Tear?

A rotator cuff tear can cause shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. If you experience persistent shoulder discomfort, our orthopedic team can provide a thorough evaluation and treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, injections, or surgery if needed.

Is Orthopedic Surgery Right for Me?

The answer to this question will all depend on your condition, treatment history, and health care preferences. At Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, we strive to help patients make confident and informed decisions about their treatment. We never rush toward surgery; in fact, we take a conservative approach to care that focuses on reducing symptoms and improving quality of life through non-surgical methods like physical therapy, injections, and bracing. Still, orthopedic surgery may be the most appropriate treatment option for patients with severe joint or muscle damage or who have tried conservative treatments without success.

As a patient at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, you can be assured that your orthopedic surgeon will take the time to carefully evaluate your condition, review your symptoms, and understand your health goals. In the event that surgery is appropriate, you can be assured that our surgeons leverage the latest minimally invasive techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes with little disruption to healthy tissues.
