Diagnostic ultrasound gives physicians a fast, in-office way to evaluate soft tissue injuries without waiting for more advanced imaging.

Dr. Tsay explains how he uses diagnostic ultrasound to help identify conditions such as rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendon injuries, tendonitis, and ligament damage. While ultrasound has limitations, it can be a powerful tool when a quick, real-time look at an injury is needed.

What is arthroscopy, and how does it help surgeons see inside a joint?

Dr. Detterline explains that arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small fiber-optic camera, about the size of a pen, to view the inside of joints such as the knee, shoulder, or hip. Through a very small incision, the camera provides detailed visualization of the joint without the need for a large surgical opening.

When a fracture requires surgery, the type of fixation used often depends on where the injury is located and how significantly the bone has shifted.

Dr. Bruce Wolock explains that pins are commonly used for finger fractures, while screws or plates and screws may be used for more complex fractures involving the wrist or the end of the radius. In many cases, fractures can still be treated successfully with splinting or casting, but surgery may be recommended when proper alignment cannot be maintained without it.
