Orthopedics / Arthroscopy

In Orthopedics, we treat patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. For a successful diagnosis, orthopedists use x-rays, C.T. scans, and MRI testing. Treatment usually includes a combination of medication, surgery, and physical therapy. Rehabilitation helps to monitor surgeries and injuries and to improve strength and movement. 

At Costamed, all technological advances are a priority; that is why we use new techniques and materials to treat injuries. 

One of the most sought after specialties in Orthopedics is articular reconstructive surgery. This specialty uses laparoscopic techniques to treat injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. 

Ask for a consult with our specialists if you have any of these symptoms:

Pain in the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, knee, foot, upper back, lower back, knee, hip, leg, sciatica, arms, or glutes. You can also see our specialists if you've had a sports injury or fractures that didn't heal appropriately.
