Knee ACI Procedure, for the Ankle? After all other treatment options for cartilage problems in the ankle have been explored, ankle ACI, or autologous chondrocyte implantation, may be the procedure that will get you moving again — virtually pain-free. Treatments for Knee Cartilage Injuries Cartilage damage of the knee is a common athletic injury. Surgeons from Southern California Orthopedic Institute see these injuries among athletes of all ages and at all levels of competition. Fortunately, athletes have many treatment options. SCOI in the News Recently, three orthopedic physicians from Southern California Orthopedic Institute were referenced in local and national media articles. An Alternative Option for Shoulder Repair A surgical technique performed by surgeons at Southern California Orthopedic Institute gives new hope to patients for accomplishing basic daily activities without pain. The alternative technique is called reverse shoulder replacement surgery. A New Procedure for Neck Pain The lower back is one of the most common sources of pain. However, the upper portion of the spine — called the cervical — can also be a pain in the neck. Southern California Orthopedic Institute offers artificial disc replacement as a new treatment option to help relieve neck pain and restore mobility. |
