Steve McKew shares how confidence in his care plan with Dr. Schroder made all the difference in his knee replacement journey.

At Towson Orthopaedic Associates, Dr. Schroder believes in taking the right steps at the right time — starting with conservative treatment options whenever possible and building a personalized plan for every patient.

When an Achilles tendon rupture happens, timely treatment and the right surgical approach can make all the difference in recovery.
Dr. Kenneth DeFontes III uses a minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair technique designed to restore tendon function while limiting the need for a large open incision. Through a small incision and specialized instruments, the tendon is carefully repaired to the proper tension, helping support recovery and rehabilitation.
An important part of recovery is getting patients moving sooner. In Dr. DeFontes’ practice, many patients begin weight-bearing around two weeks after surgery, which can significantly improve comfort and quality of life during the healing process—especially for older adults who may struggle with prolonged crutch use.
Towson Orthopaedic Associates is proud to provide advanced orthopaedic care for patients across Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities.

When is it time to consider a shoulder replacement? According to Dr. Brian Shiu, there are a few key signs patients shouldn’t ignore.
If shoulder pain keeps you up at night, limits your daily activities, or affects your overall quality of life, it may be time to explore your options. While not every case of shoulder arthritis or a rotator cuff tear requires surgery, severe symptoms combined with advanced findings on imaging can make shoulder replacement a meaningful solution for long-term relief and restored function.
Dr. Brian Shiu emphasizes that shoulder replacement is ultimately an elective procedure—but when pain becomes a daily obstacle, patients across Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore County, and surrounding communities deserve to know there are effective treatment options available through Towson Orthopaedic Associates.
