 The
St. Joseph Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine opened in
May 2006. The St. Joseph Medical Group collaborated with
established and trusted local physicians to create the new
clinic.
Having this clinic ensures there is full orthopedic coverage
in the Emergency Department so the hospital is ready 24/7 to
provide local care for fractures and other orthopedic
emergencies and assure the community has optimal local access
into the future for general orthopedic services.
The clinic’s physicians are Steven Bruce, MD, Gus Hodge, MD,
James Holstine, DO, Ron Woo, MD and Warren Taranow, DO. The
group has expertise in joint replacement, arthroscopic knee
surgery, fracture management, musculoskeletal care, foot and
ankle issues and shoulder surgery.
The practice also offers more sophisticated approaches such
as metal-on-metal total hip replacement, arthroscopic techniques
in shoulder surgery to avoid fully open procedures, and ACL
reconstruction using allografts to avoid sacrifice of the
patient’s own tissue. |
