Acromioclavicular Joint Impingement (Shoulder Impingement)

Shoulder pain caused by impingement of a muscle on the shoulder blade.

Achilles Tendon Rupture

A complete tear of the strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of the calf to the heel bone.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)

Injury to the tissue that connects the bottom of the femur (upper leg bone) to the top of the tibia (bone of the lower leg) that is responsible for stability in the knee.

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF)

Fixation of broken or fractured bones  using hardware to allow adequate orientation of healing bones.

Labral Tear (Shoulder: SLAP or Bankart, Hip)
