FRACTURE CARE & TRAUMATIC INJURIES Orthopedic trauma is a branch of orthopedic medicine related to injuries of the bones, joints, and soft tissues following a traumatic event. At Advanced Orthopedic and Spine Care, our highly trained specialists are prepared to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries ranging in severity from simple sports-related fractures to multiple complex fractures sustained after a high-speed collision. Typically orthopedic trauma is divided into four categories: long bone fractures, fractures involving the joint, pelvic fractures, and fractures involving the hand or foot. Unfortunately, some of these injuries may not heal properly without surgical intervention. Our team of skilled surgeons will provide the most comprehensive care helping to facilitate the patient’s full and rapid recovery. schedule appointment UPPER EXTREMITIES Humerus fracture Elbow fracture Olecranon fracture Ulna fracture Radius fracture Forearm fracture Wrist fracture Hand fracture COMPLEX FRACTURES Non-Union Malunion Infection, aka Osteomyelitis Geriatric/Fragility Fracture Pediatric fracture with involvement of the growth plate LOWER EXTREMITIES Acetabular fracture Ankle fracture Avulsion fracture Femur fracture Fibula fracture Hip fracture Knee fracture Pelvic fracture Pilon fracture Pubic Rami fracture Tibia fracture

WIDE BORE MRI SERVICES Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive test that uses a magnetic field and radio frequency waves to produce detailed images of soft tissue (such as tendons, ligaments and muscles), bone and other anatomical structures. The test involves no radiation and is safe for most patients. MRI is one of the best tests in advanced medical imaging for an accurate diagnosis for your physician to determine your course of care. At Advanced Orthopedic Spinecare, we offer the latest MRI technology: Wide bore MRI to ensure patient comfort and ease for claustrophobic patients High field magnet for quality imaging and faster scans Offers feet first MRIs on most anatomy Compassionate care to all patients Quality scans and superior service Accommodates larger patients with 500-pound capacity All radiologists are board certified and sub-specialty trained schedule appointment WHAT TO EXPECT The MRI technologist will position you on the table and make sure you are as comfortable as possible prior to starting the scan. Exams can be as short as 25 minutes or over an hour depending on the exam ordered. If you are claustrophobic, please inform the technologist and they will make you feel more at ease. Claustrophobic patients can also request a prescription to be filled by your pharmacy prior to the MRI. The magnet is permanently open at both ends and there is an intercom system through which the technologist and patient can communicate. When the MRI is taking the images, it will produce a loud noise. Earplugs or music will be provided during the exam to decrease the noise. Patients can also bring a CD or hook an iPod up to our radio. PREPARING FOR YOUR MRI If you have aneurysm clips, a pacemaker or certain other mechanical implants in your body, then you will not be able to have an MRI. Please inform the technologist of any implants in your body to ensure your safety. All valuables and jewelry should be left at home. You will be asked to remove any metal from your body before entering the MRI room. If possible, wear clothing without any snaps, zippers or buttons. A gown will be provided to patients who are not dressed appropriately for the exam. During the exam it is important to hold still from start to finish; this will ensure the best quality images and proper diagnosis for the patient. Our MRI is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

X-RAY SERVICES X-rays, also called radiographs, are the oldest and one of the most common and widely available diagnostic imaging techniques in medicine. Even if you need more sophisticated tests, you will probably get an X-ray first. An X-ray involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. A bone X-ray makes images of any bone in the body, including the hand, wrist, arm, foot, ankle, knee, leg, or spine. At Advanced Orthopedic & Spine Care, our team of highly skilled professionals use state-of-the-art technology to take, read, diagnose, and treat your orthopedic issues. We’re a one-stop shop for all your diagnostic-imaging needs. schedule appointment
