Normal spinal curves become excessively large, the spine bends in the wrong direction, or the bones are not sturdy enough to support the spine.

The Sports Medicine & Arthroscopic Surgery Service examines as well as treats a wide range of sports injuries affecting the knee, foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and hip.

In this procedure, little incisions or cuts are made along with a few stitches. During the surgery, one or more small incisions may be created in the body.

Portions of an arthritic or injured joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic, or ceramic prosthesis during joint replacement surgery.
