- Femoral Neck Fracture: If you've fallen and broken the top of your thighbone near your hip, know that specialized treatments like surgery aim to help you walk and move more easily again.

- Foot Sprain: A foot sprain is a painful injury to the ligaments supporting your foot's joints, often from a sudden twist or fall, which can affect your balance and independence; thankfully, the right treatment plan will help you regain your strength and mobility.
- Knee Ligament Tears: Knee ligament injuries, ranging in severity, can significantly impact mobility, but appropriate management involving rest, physical therapy, or surgery, can help alleviate pain and restore knee function, improving your independence.

- Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when tendons and tissues in your shoulder become irritated and compressed, causing pain and stiffness that can limit your ability to move your arm and perform daily tasks.
- Osteoarthritis of Wrist: Experiencing pain and stiffness in your wrist due to osteoarthritis is understandable. This condition affects the cushioning in your wrist joints, but many options like pain relief medications, splints, or injections can improve your comfort and function, helping you remain independent.
- Broken Arm: A broken arm, particularly in older adults, can be a serious injury; however, treatment, including pain management and rehabilitation, can significantly improve your comfort and quality of life.
- Wrist Sprain or Strain: A sprained or strained wrist involves damage to the soft tissues around your wrist joint, causing discomfort and possibly limiting your ability to perform daily tasks. Fortunately, conservative treatments often lead to a full recovery.

Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Adam Lipman:
- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Lipman and our team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning we specialize in the entire musculoskeletal systembones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. We provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis and treatment planning to both surgical and non-surgical interventions, all with the goal of easing pain and restoring function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Lipman's practice is dedicated to finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often recommending conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing first. Surgery is only considered when it's the most beneficial approach to restoring function and quality of life.
- What can be done for the numbness and tingling in my hand?
- Numbness and tingling in your hand are classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve at the wrist. Initial treatment is often non-surgical, including wrist braces or steroid injections. If symptoms persist, Dr. Lipman can perform a simple, quick outpatient surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve and provide lasting relief.
- What can be done for my painful knee or hip arthritis?
- We understand the pain you're experiencing. Treatment for arthritis is a stepwise approach, often beginning with conservative measures like medication, physical therapy, and injections. If these measures don't adequately manage your pain, Dr. Lipman may discuss joint replacement surgery as a potential solution.
- What is a cortisone injection?
- A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into a painful area, such as a knee or shoulder. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation, often providing temporary pain relief from conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. It's a safe and effective tool to help manage flare-ups.
- What is arthroscopic surgery?
- Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where Dr. Lipman uses a tiny camera and small instruments inserted through small incisions to see and repair problems inside a joint. This often leads to less pain, less tissue damage, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
- What is joint replacement surgery?
- Joint replacement surgery, performed by Dr. Lipman, is a procedure to replace a damaged, arthritic joint with an artificial implant. The goal is to relieve the bone-on-bone pain of severe arthritis, and this very successful procedure often dramatically improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores independence for activities like walking and climbing stairs.
- How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
- A hip fracture in an older adult is a serious injury, almost always requiring surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern, but the primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again quickly with the help of physical therapists.
