Orthopedics & Orthopedic Surgery
Dean Health System's Orthopedic specialists and surgeons specialize in treating diseases, injuries and abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system—spine, hands, feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows.
You may be referred to an orthopedic surgeon
if you need hip or joint replacement, knee or hand surgery, or
limb reconstruction
and prosthetics. Our orthopedic surgeons treat sports injuries
requiring surgery, repetitive motion injuries such as carpal
tunnel syndrome,
hand problems such as trigger finger
(stenosing tenosynovitis), spinal problems including scoliosis,
and other congenital and degenerative diseases that affect the
structure
and form of the skeleton.
Dean's orthopedic specialists are also part of Dean's Sports Medicine services, providing care for people with sports-related injuries or exercise-related problems that may require surgery to repair damage and restore function and mobility.
Orthopedic patients may be also referred to Dean Therapy Services to ensure that every patient has an appropriate rehabilitation program.
