Full Range of Orthopaedic Surgery Procedures
From severe disease to traumatic injury, our world-class orthopaedic surgery team provides advanced surgical intervention with consistently successful results.
- Arthritis: Severe cases of arthritis sometimes require orthopaedic surgery to alleviate pain and swelling. These procedures can bring relief through a variety of techniques including total joint replacement, removal of damaged or diseased joint lining, joint fusion and joint realignment.
- Arthroscopy: Often associated with knee surgery, arthroscopy involves the use of a small camera inserted into a joint area to view, diagnose and treat joint problems. Arthroscopic surgical instruments can be used in conjunction with the camera to complete the surgery with minimal pain and scarring.
- Hand and Upper Extremity: Westchester Medical Center is the only hand replant center between Albany and New York City. However, our hand surgeons perform orthopaedic surgeries to treat various conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and severe cuts.
- Joint Replacement: Some conditions may merit total joint replacement. Joints that are commonly replaced are knees and hips, although ankles, fingers and other joints may also be affected.
- Musculoskeletal Oncology: Benign and malignant bone and soft tissue disorders
- Orthopaedic Trauma: As the Level 1 Trauma Center for the Hudson Valley region, we specialize in surgical treatment and intervention for severe musculoskeletal injuries such as complex fractures, crush injuries and spinal trauma.
- Pediatric Orthopaedics: Our Pediatric Division in Maria Fareri Children's Hospital specializes in treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases in children.
- Spine and Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a disfigurement of the spine which may be caused by disease or injury. Our Orthopaedic Surgery Department provides surgical intervention for severe scoliosis which is not treatable with braces.
- Sports Medicine: Sports medicine is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries sustained as a result of sports activity. Our Orthopaedic Surgery Department houses a division of sports medicine specialists and we are one of only a few hospitals performing multi-ligament reconstructive services.
