Trusted Aurora Orthopedic Surgeon Offers Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure focused on visualizing, diagnosing, and treating any joint problems and underlying musculoskeletal issues.

Aurora, CO (prHWY.com) February 15, 2013 - Aurora, Colorado (January 23, 2013) - Colorado Orthopedic Consultants (COC), a prominent orthopedic and sports medicine facility serving the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area, is offering arthroscopic surgery to patients suffering from various joint injuries and diseases. Patients looking for a trusted Aurora orthopedic surgeon can turn to any of their healthcare providers for diagnosis and treatment.

Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure focused on visualizing, diagnosing, and treating any joint problems and underlying musculoskeletal issues. Prior to arthroscopy, a patient must undergo thorough medical history review, physical examination, and X-rays. In some cases, specialized tests such as MRI or CT-scan are also necessary to determine the exact condition of the injured joints and decide on the proper treatment.

Some of the most common conditions diagnosed and treated through arthroscopy include carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff tendon tears and dislocations. It can also help detect tears in the knee cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), as well as chondromalacia (cartilage cushion injury), shoulder impingement, and loose bones and tissues in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, or wrist, among others.

Arthroscopy's other advantages include smaller incisions, faster healing and recovery, and less scarring. It can also address some problems associated with arthritis when complemented with standard surgery.

At COC, patients can expect quality rehabilitative care from each of their licensed physicians and experienced orthopedic specialists. Their years of combined experience allow them to effectively assist each individual in reaching the highest degree of functional independence.

Residents looking for an orthopedic surgeon in Englewood can count on COC for premium care. Visit www.COCOrtho.com for more information about the practice and their offered services.
