At the forefront of minimally invasive surgeries
- Our orthopedics team is trained in arthroscopic surgery, which revolutionizes the way joint damage can be treated and repaired. Patients benefit from faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays, and less scarring.
- We are the first in the country to use state-of-the-art techniques during joint replacement surgery, including the use of absorbable antibiotic beads to help minimize infection risk.
- Total knee replacement surgeries are performed using new-age low-profile more anatomic or life-like prostheses. We performed the first navigation-assisted total knee replacement surgery on Staten Island.
