Orthopaedic Conditions We Treat

At Premier Orthopaedics, we treat a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders within our offices across the Greater Philadelphia area. Whether your knee aches every time you bend it, or a shooting pain flares through your wrist without warning, our team of orthopaedic specialists is here to get to the root cause of your discomfort and relieve it through conservative therapies or, when needed, surgical treatment.

With convenient locations throughout the region, finding the support you need has never been easier. If pain is holding you back, now is the perfect time to find a Premier Orthopaedics location near you and take the first step toward relief. And don’t hesitate to reach out to our team with questions about the bone and joint conditions we treat!

Foot and Ankle Conditions

Your feet and ankles contain 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Each of these parts works tirelessly together to support your body weight and propel you forward. Unfortunately, because they bear such a heavy load, they are uniquely susceptible to injury and wear-and-tear.

If your feet or ankles are bothering you, know that our foot and ankle specialists treat a wide spectrum of conditions, ranging from acute sports injuries to chronic structural issues. Some of the most common foot and ankle issues we see include:

• Plantar fasciitis, which causes stabbing heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning.
• Achilles tendonitis and tears, often resulting from overuse or sudden increases in activity.
• Ankle sprains and instability, which can weaken the joint and lead to repeated injuries.
• Arthritis of the foot and ankle, causing stiffness, inflammation, and joint deterioration.
• Bunions, hammertoes, and other deformities, which can cause discomfort, difficulty walking, and difficulty finding properly fitting footwear.
• Foot and ankle fractures, including stress fractures and traumatic injuries requiring stabilization or surgery.
• Diabetic foot pain, which may include nerve damage (neuropathy), poor circulation, and wounds that are slow to heal.

No matter the cause of your discomfort, you’ll receive personalized care at every step.

Knee Conditions

Your knees are among the most frequently used joints in your body, which means they absorb tremendous force each day. It’s no surprise, then, that knee pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek joint pain treatment options in Philadelphia. The good news is that we are always here to evaluate and treat knee conditions ranging from athletic injuries to chronic degenerative problems that develop gradually over time.

Our knee specialists commonly see patients with:

• Osteoarthritis, which wears down the protective cartilage within the joint.
• Meniscus tears, often caused by twisting or sudden movements.
• Ligament injuries, including ACL, MCL, and PCL tears.
• Patellar instability, where the kneecap shifts or dislocates.
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee): Pain around the kneecap, often caused by tracking issues or muscle imbalances.
• Tendonitis, commonly experienced by athletes or individuals engaging in repetitive activities.
• Bursitis, which causes painful swelling around the knee.

Should surgery become necessary, our team offers arthroscopic procedures, ligament reconstruction, meniscus repairs, and total or partial knee replacement. No matter which treatment option is required, our goal is simple: to help you regain mobility and return to the activities you love.

Hip Conditions

Healthy hips support your weight, absorb shock, and enable essential movements like walking, standing, and bending. So, when hip pain develops, it can affect your independence and quality of life. If you’re ready to say goodbye to the pain in your hips, reach out to our team!

Our hip specialists diagnose and treat a variety of conditions that lead to stiffness, instability, or pain in the hip joints. These conditions often include:

• Hip arthritis, including osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.
• Hip labral tears, which may cause clicking, catching, or sharp pain in the hip.
• Hip impingement (FAI), a condition where the bones of the hip joint rub together abnormally.
• Hip tendonitis and bursitis, often resulting from overuse.
• Hip fractures and dislocations, especially in athletes and active adults.

Our providers perform comprehensive evaluations using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools. Treatment plans may include therapeutic exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, image-guided injections, minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, or total hip replacement.

Hand and Wrist Conditions

Because of the intricate anatomy of the hand and wrist, even a minor issue can have a major impact on your ability to perform tasks like buttoning a shirt, typing, or gripping a steering wheel. That’s why we have a team of hand and wrist specialists who are fellowship-trained to treat this complex part of your body.

Over the years, we have provided comprehensive care for the following hand and wrist conditions:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed within the wrist.
• Trigger finger, a condition that causes painful locking or catching of a finger or thumb.
• Tendonitis and tendon injuries from overuse or trauma.
• De Quervain’s tenosynovitis: A painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist.
• Ganglion cysts, which are noncancerous lumps that most commonly develop along the tendons or joints of your wrists or hands and can cause pain or restrict movement.
• Arthritis in the hand and wrist, which can make gripping and fine motor tasks difficult.
• Fractures, from simple breaks to complex injuries requiring surgical expertise.
• Sprains and ligament tears, often affecting athletes or individuals who use their hands extensively.

While treating bone and joint conditions in the hands and wrists, we prioritize restoring hand strength, dexterity, and comfort so you can return to your regular routine with confidence.

Shoulder and Elbow Conditions

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and allows you to reach overhead or backwards to perform an array of tasks, such as combing your hair or reaching for a seatbelt. Of course, this amazing flexibility also comes at the cost of stability, and, eventually, it may feel painful or entirely impossible to move your arm. The elbow, while a simpler hinge joint, can also cause pain and limit mobility.

When pain develops in your shoulder or elbow, you can turn to Premier Orthopaedics. We treat patients of all ages, helping them overcome any orthopedic conditions that may be getting in the way of living life to the fullest.

Our shoulder and elbow specialists frequently diagnose and manage:

• Rotator cuff tears, which may cause weakness, pain, and limited mobility.
• Shoulder impingement, leading to pain when lifting the arm.
• Tendonitis and bursitis, common in both athletes and non-athletes.
• Frozen shoulder, a condition that significantly restricts mobility.
• Shoulder instability and dislocations.
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, both caused by repetitive strain.
• Cubital tunnel syndrome, which is caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve (the “funny bone” nerve).
• Arthritis, affecting both the shoulder and elbow joints.

Spinal Conditions

Back and neck pain can be debilitating — and unfortunately, extremely common. Whether caused by an acute injury or a chronic condition, spinal pain can limit your ability to work, sleep, or enjoy your daily activities. Thankfully, Premier Orthopaedics offers comprehensive orthopaedic injury care to help you regain comfort and function.

Our experienced spine specialists diagnose and treat:

• Herniated discs, which may cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Degenerative disc disease, which often leads to chronic back or neck pain.
• Sciatica, producing pain that travels down the leg.
• Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress nerves.
• Scoliosis, a condition that affects children, teens, and adults.
• Sprains, strains, and spinal instability.
• Compression fractures, especially in individuals with osteoporosis.
