We ask a lot of our knees. They carry our weight, allow us to walk, pivot, run, and absorb the impact of our steps and landings and falls. When they wear out, we feel it all over our bodies.
Total knee replacement alleviates that pain by resurfacing the areas of the knee that are damaged or diseased and replacing them with a prosthetic. At Summit Orthopedic Specialists in Sacramento, total knee replacement is a high-tech outpatient procedure. Our surgeons make sure our surgeries are as minimally invasive as possible to reduce recovery times.
Total Knee ReplacementEveryone has an opinion about when or if you should get a hip replacement, from friends and loved ones to your neighbor down the block. But not everyone is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip replacement in Sacramento.
Summit Orthopedic Specialists has a few of those, and they’ll be happy to help. If you experience consistent hip pain during your normal daily activities, our hip specialists can help ease your burden and answer your questions. And, unlike your neighbor, they have Ph.Ds and years of surgical experience to guide their answers.
Total Hip ReplacementYou have a lot riding on your shoulders. Don’t let shoulder pain add to your burden. If you experience persistent or worsening shoulder pain that doesn’t go away with therapy or rest.
It may be time to look into an orthopedic solution like total shoulder replacement. Sacramento’s Summit Orthopedic Specialists have innovative and customizable solutions to minimize the downtime of shoulder replacement. We use hi-tech methods to perform these surgeries on an outpatient basis to save you money and encourage a speedy recovery.
Total Shoulder ReplacementThe only thing more frustrating than dealing with persistent joint pain is dealing with persistent joint pain after you’ve already had surgery to correct it.
Our surgeons at Summit Orthopedic Specialists offer joint revision surgery to patients coping with this maddening situation. We can use our leading-edge technologies to identify what went wrong with your previous surgery, find a solution to correct it and get you back to where you thought you would be before your first surgery.
Joint RevisionNot every problem needs surgery to solve it. Sometimes, our doctors can provide joint pain relief through viscosupplement injections (also known as “gel” injections”).
These injections add hyaluronic acid into the joint to provide a cushion between the bones to reduce pain and discomfort. In Sacramento, Summit Orthopedic Specialists offers a wide variety of joint injections to reduce swelling, increase mobility, ease discomfort, prevent damage, and delay surgical intervention.
Viscosupplement InjectionsPerhaps you’ve been referred to a specialist for a joint issue but are afraid that you may need an expensive MRI.
At Summit Orthopedic Specialists, we offer our patients in Sacramento mi-eye; a revolutionary form of in-office arthroscopy that can eliminate the need to get an MRI in many cases. Using mi-eye, our doctors can see inside your joints right there in the office — no long waits for expensive and intimidating MRIs. In many cases, they can even diagnose the issue and recommend treatment right there in the same visit!
mi-eyeAt Summit Orthopedic Specialists, we strive to offer patients a wide range of treatment options and therapeutic services to help enhance their lives and promote wound healing or pain management. Our goal is to promote overall health and wellness and deliver customizable treatments for patients suffering from orthopedic-related concerns and injuries.
Amniotic InjectionsPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful way to augment many therapeutic enhancement services. It uses the potent anti-inflammatory nutrients found in your blood to help promote a myriad of health benefits. Many patients opt to use PRP injections to promote wound healing and promote a healthier musculoskeletal system.
PRP With RegenkitOur surgeons now provide our patients in Sacramento outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Select patients who are healthy enough to be candidates for this pathway can receive TJA at an ambulatory surgery center. Summit Orthopedic Specialists was the first group in the Sacramento area to offer this type of service to patients.
