High-tech Procedures

Technology has changed the face of orthopedic medicine. At Appalachian Orthopedic Center, we use the latest, state-of-the-art technology and treatments to fix bones, muscles and joints.

Kyphoplasty: This minimally invasive surgery treats fractures caused by osteoperosis. Its goals are to stop the pain, strengthen the bone, and restore some or all of the body's height. To see a demonstration of this procedure on Spine-health.com, click here.

Arthoscopy: Allowing you to often return home the day of surgery, this procedure is most commonly used to treat arthritis and various other injuries in the knees and shoulders. For an animation of this procedure from Arthritis.org, click here.

Unicondylar Knee Resurfacing: When only a portion of your knee needs replacement, this "system" will avoid the much more painful, expensive, and invasive total knee replacement surgery. To view an animation of this procedure from Athritis.org, click here.
