At Dr. Cucchetti's clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of orthopedic services tailored to meet the needs of our patients. Below is a brief description of each of our main specialties:
Meniscus Repair
The meniscus is a key piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. Our meniscus repair service focuses on treating tears through surgical techniques that either repair or trim the damaged meniscus, depending on the nature and location of the tear.
ACL, MCL & PCL Reconstruction
We specialize in reconstructive surgery for injuries to the knee's crucial ligaments: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). These procedures involve replacing the torn ligament with a graft to restore stability and function to the knee joint.
Knee Arthritis Repair
Our approach to knee arthritis involves several potential treatments ranging from conservative therapies like medication and physical therapy to surgical options such as arthroscopy, osteotomy, and in severe cases, total knee replacement to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Rotator Cuff Repair
We provide surgical solutions for rotator cuff injuries, which involve tears in the shoulder's muscle and tendons. Our treatments aim to reattach the torn tendon to the head of the humerus and strengthen the shoulder's overall stability and function.
Bicep Tear Repair
Bicep tear repair addresses tears in the bicep tendon at the shoulder or elbow. Depending on the type and severity of the tear, surgery may involve reattaching the torn tendon to the bone or removing the damaged section and reconnecting the healthy tendon.
Open Elbow Surgery
Open elbow surgery is performed for a variety of conditions, including severe fractures, dislocations, and extensive damage from arthritis. This type of surgery allows for direct access to the elbow, facilitating complex reconstructions and repairs.
Fractures
Our clinic treats fractures of all types across different locations in the body. We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment options, depending on the severity and type of the fracture, to ensure optimal healing and recovery.
Joint Injections
We provide joint injections for pain relief and inflammation reduction, including cortisone injections and viscosupplementation. These treatments are effective for managing symptoms of arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.
Our team, led by Dr. Cucchetti, is committed to delivering the highest standard of orthopedic care, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Whether you require surgical intervention or conservative treatment, our clinic is equipped to help you return to your active lifestyle.
