More Than Joint Replacement

Orthopedic Care for Everyday Injuries and Complex Conditions

You do not need to know the exact diagnosis before scheduling an appointment. Start with where it hurts, what happened and how the problem is affecting your life.

We Treat the Entire Orthopedic Spectrum

Atlanta Bone & Joint Specialists evaluates acute injuries, chronic pain, arthritis, sports injuries, fractures, tendon and ligament tears, nerve compression, cartilage damage and problems after previous surgery.

Many conditions can be treated without surgery. When surgery is appropriate, our physicians perform arthroscopic procedures, fracture repair, tendon and ligament reconstruction, cartilage restoration, hand surgery and hip, knee, shoulder and ankle replacement.

Our goal is to determine what is actually causing the problem and guide you toward an appropriate treatment plan—not automatically toward an operation.

Reasons Patients Visit Us

  • ✓ A new injury, fall or sports-related problem
  • ✓ Pain that is not improving with rest or initial treatment
  • ✓ Swelling, weakness, instability, catching or locking
  • ✓ A suspected fracture, tendon tear or ligament injury
  • ✓ Arthritis limiting walking, work, sleep or exercise
  • ✓ A second opinion before or after orthopedic surgery

Suspect a Broken Bone?

Severe deformity, an open wound, loss of circulation, loss of sensation or an inability to safely move after a major injury may require emergency care. Stable injuries and follow-up fracture care can often be evaluated in the orthopedic office.

Your Treatment Path

Care Based on the Condition—not a One-Size-Fits-All Plan

The correct treatment begins with understanding the injury, symptoms, imaging, health, activity level and goals of the individual patient.

1

Accurate Evaluation

We use the history, examination, X-rays and advanced imaging when appropriate to identify the likely source of symptoms.

2

Conservative Care When Appropriate

Treatment may begin with activity modification, medication, therapy, bracing, injections or observation when those options make sense.

3

Surgery When It Offers Value

When surgery is recommended, the proposed procedure should address the identified problem and fit the patient's needs and goals.
