Thirty years ago an orthopedic surgeon would treat all types of joint problems. With ever- increasing new technology and treatment advances specific to different joints and bones, that’s changed dramatically.
Orthopedics has become super- specialized with surgeons now having advanced “fellowship training” in a specific body part and all the most advanced minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques.
The orthopedic specialists at Celebration Orthopaedics treat patients from across Central Florida at its Orlando-area office. This includes caring for orthopedic trauma, fractures and all types of joint pain. The most advanced hip replacement and knee replacement surgeries are also provided. Many patients are able to have their surgeries in an ambulatory surgery center so they are home later the same day to recover in the comfort of their own home.
Treatment of back and neck pain, along with scoliosis, is provided through the multi- disciplinary spine center Spine Group Orlando which receives complex spine problems from across Florida and other countries. Spine Group Orlando provides non-surgical and surgical treatment of back and neck pain and scoliosis.
The orthopedic team also recognizes the complex issues related to caring for on-the-job injury. Treatment of the work-related injury is compressed and accelerated. The employer and case manager are informed of the treatment plan and when the worker may safely return to the workplace
.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on-the-job orthopedic injury costs employers billions. One in four on-the-job injuries relate to back or neck injury with 5% of the cases accounting for 75% of the costs.
Celebration Orthopaedics recognizes the complex requirements of caring for on-the-job injury. Treatment of the work-related injury needs to be compressed and accelerated. The employer and case manager need to know the treatment plan and if and when the worker may return to work.
Consequently, Celebration Orthopaedics works closely with the injured worker, the employer, the insurance adjuster and the case manager to provide a quick appointment, accurate diagnosis of the injury, the most likely causation, and the most appropriate treatment for the employee.
