Texas Orthopedic & Spine
Institute
At Texas
Orthopedic &
Spine Institute,
we are dedicated to providing the best possible care available for people of all ages and all walks of life. In addition, we serve as a leading educator of orthopedic surgery technique to surgeons around the world.
Our prime
commitment is
to providing
finest care for
our patients.
We are committed
to changing and
improving the
lives of our
patients by
providing
exceptional
orthopedic care
through
innovative
technology,
ongoing
outcomes
research,
quality, and
cost-effective
services.
We are all Board Certified with the American Board of
Orthopedic Surgery. We have all completed fellowships in
subspecialty areas of orthopedic surgery, and this allows us
each to focus on specific areas and enhance your orthopedic
care.
Most of our orthopedic care can be provided without the need for an operation, but when an operation is necessary, most are done in an outpatient setting. This allows the patient to go home the same day of the operation. We use the latest innovations and technologies, including camera scopes (arthroscopies) for minimally invasive surgery, and microsurgical techniques. We are supported by extensive Physical, Occupational and Hand Therapy staff and facilities, and are able to coordinate your care with them as needed.
What is orthopedics?
Orthopedics
is the study of the
musculoskeletal system.
This system includes
bones joints, ligaments,
tendons, muscles, and
nerves.
What is an orthopedic
surgeon?
An
orthopedic surgeon
restores functions
through surgery, due to
disease and injury, to
the ligaments, tendons,
joints, bones, nerves and
muscles but also use
physical, medical and
rehabilitative methods
when necessary.
What determines a good
orthopedic surgeon and
what criteria should I
look for before I select
an orthopedic surgeon?
Surgeons
should be able to change
when needed. This means
that surgeons should have
wide array of technical
skills and be able to
adapt or tailor his
expertise to the patients
he's handling or his
community of practice.
Surgeons should be approachable
and sympathetic to your
needs. Patients strongly
dislike any surgeon who
treats them like they are
inferior species of human
beings.
He should be ready to answer any
question from his
patients and explain to
them in a manner they can
understand and relate. In
this age of technological
advances, not one patient
wanted to be treated
without having to know
why and how his treated
and what is his chances
of recovering from the
surgery.
