The Orthopaedics Center
     …a Riverview Health Institute Solution

You lead an active life. From the pressures of work and family to the wide range of leisure activities that fill your weekends — golf, tennis, aerobics and more — today’s high-energy lifestyles generate more, and more severe, orthopedic problems, especially in the joints of the knee, shoulder, hip and elbow. The rigors of life contribute to osteoarthritis, the wear-and-tear form of joint disease, as well as occasional injuries and a wide variety of damage due to overuse.

At Riverview Health Institute, our leading orthopaedic team treats problems of the musculoskeletal system, including the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and muscles. Whether you need arthroscopic surgery to eliminate bone fragments and other debris from your knee or tendon repair in your elbow after a sports injury, orthopaedic surgery can improve joint function and make life less painful.

Knee problems are the most common orthopaedic complaints. A complex and often neglected joint, the knee is susceptible to anterior cruciate ligament damage, kneecap disorders, torn cartilage, and other injuries or disease. Like other joint repairs, most arthroscopic knee procedures at The Orthopaedic Center are same day surgery.

When repairs are no longer the best treatment choice, full joint replacement is also performed at Riverview. Dr. Paley and his surgical team perform full shoulder replacements, as well as knees and hips, using minimally invasive surgery where possible. Smaller incisions minimize tissue damage and require less recovery time. And with Riverview’s physical therapy capabilities, you begin your recovery immediately, returning to the life you want to lead, the way you want to lead it. Dr. Paley performs the latest techniques in orthopaedics surgery.
