ACL & Meniscus Surgery
ACL and meniscus tears are common knee injuries among athletes. In some cases, both injuries occur at the same time. Dr. Casey typically uses a minimally invasive technique called arthroscopy for both ACL and meniscus surgery, as it leads to less pain and scarring after surgery. If needed, ACL and meniscus surgery can be done at the same time.

Anterior Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery may be an option for patients with arthritis pain in the hip that has not improved with conservative treatments. Though there are a few accepted approaches for hip replacement surgery, Dr. Casey prefers the anterior approach because the recovery is much easier on patients. Anterior hip replacements also decrease the risk of dislocation and developing a limp after surgery.

Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff tears are common in patients whose job or sport requires repetitive shoulder motions. Rotator cuff tears can occur due to a sudden injury or degeneration of the rotator cuff over time. Rotator cuff repair surgery is typically recommended right away for sudden tears, and may be recommended for degenerative tears if conservative treatments do not improve symptoms. Dr. Casey uses arthroscopy for rotator cuff repairs to help reduce pain during recovery.

Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement may be recommended if knee pain interferes with everyday life and nonsurgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Dr. Casey uses a minimally invasive approach for total knee replacement whenever possible. Minimally invasive total knee replacement can be done through a much smaller incision than traditional knee replacement surgery, which often reduces pain after surgery.
