Thousands of people suffer orthopedic injuries. Saint Peter's University Hospital provides innovative medical and surgical care for patients of all ages, from adolescents to seniors.
muscles and ligaments, including reverse shoulder replacement, hip and knee replacements
and scoliosis procedures.
Saint Peter’s was the first to pioneer – and remains one of the few hospitals in the metropolitan area to offer – endoscopic laser discectomy, an outpatient procedure performed to remove herniated disc material. This procedure differs from open lumbar disc surgery in that it eliminates traumatic back muscle dissection, bone removal and the need for a large skin incision.
Of the many orthopedic surgeries Saint Peter’s performs, one of the most common are surgeries of the knee using the latest technology advancements.
The Zimmer® Gender Solutions™ Knee is one of the first knee implants shaped to fit a woman's anatomy. Patients who undergo a special technique called Minimally Invasive Solutions™ (MIS) Quad-Sparing™ total knee arthroplasty generally return home sooner, recover and return to their normal activities faster with smaller scars.
Hip resurfacing is a new alternative to total hip replacement for young, active adults with severe arthritis, dysplasia or other hip diseases. The procedure preserves more of the native bone, leaving more material to support another implant should a total hip replacement be needed years later. This innovative procedure can benefit women ages 60 or younger and men ages 65 or younger who lead active lives and do not have osteoporosis or certain kinds of severe arthritis.
Saint Peter’s orthopedic patients recover in our Saint Peter’s Orthopaedic Institute.
