Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Alexandr Aylyarov provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Knee Sprain: Experiencing pain and instability in your knee after a twisting or sudden movement might indicate a knee sprain; with the help of your doctor, a personalized treatment plan, including rest, ice, and potentially physical therapy, will aid in your recovery and help maintain your active lifestyle.
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs and feet, which can be managed with medication, physical therapy, or surgery to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
- Sacral Fracture: If you've experienced a fall or trauma, you may have a sacral fracture, a break in the bone near the tailbone, but know that effective treatment options are available to help you recover comfortably and safely.
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome: IT band syndrome, a source of knee pain, can be managed effectively with a personalized exercise plan and possibly other therapies, allowing seniors to stay active and independent.
- Ganglion Cyst: Ganglion cysts are benign lumps that commonly develop on the hands and wrists, and while they may not always require treatment, simple methods can reduce any associated pain or limitations in movement.
- Cervical Radiculopathy: Neck pain radiating down your arm? It might be cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a compressed nerve in your neck needs treatment to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
- Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Sprain: A sprain in the LCL, the ligament on your knee's outer side, can lead to pain and discomfort making everyday activities difficult. Fortunately, most LCL sprains are effectively treated without surgery, allowing you to maintain your quality of life.
- Hip Fracture: A hip fracture, a common injury among seniors, is treated with surgery to stabilize the broken bone, followed by physical therapy to restore strength and mobility, improving your quality of life.
- Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head: If you experience hip pain and stiffness, you might have avascular necrosis of the femoral head, a condition where the bone tissue dies due to poor blood flow; effective treatments are available to reduce pain and help you stay active and mobile.
- Biceps Tendon Rupture: The biceps tendon, which helps bend your elbow and rotate your arm, can tear, leading to significant discomfort and limited movement; however, surgery or other treatments can help restore arm function and improve your daily life.
- Pelvic Fracture: A broken bone in the pelvis, often caused by a fall, can be managed through various methods, including surgery to stabilize the fracture, and rehabilitation to restore strength and function, leading to better independence.
- Ankylosing Vertebral Hyperostosis: Ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (AVH) is a condition where bone spurs form along the spine, sometimes causing stiffness and pain, but often requiring no specific treatment beyond managing symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Alexandr Aylyarov:
- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Aylyarov and our team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning we specialize in the entire musculoskeletal systembones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. We diagnose and treat conditions, using both surgical and non-surgical approaches, to relieve pain and restore function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Aylyarov's practice focuses on finding the best treatment plan for each patient, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it is the most beneficial way to restore quality of life.
- What is the recovery like after a knee or hip replacement?
- Recovery after a knee or hip replacement is a process that typically begins with a hospital stay and continues with extensive physical therapy. Modern techniques often allow patients to walk the same day as surgery. The goal is to regain strength and motion, and most patients experience significant pain relief and return to daily activities within a few months.
- How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
- A hip fracture in an older adult is a serious injury usually requiring surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern. The primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again quickly, often with the help of physical therapy.
- 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 starting with conservative measures like medication, physical therapy, and injections. If these measures don't adequately manage your pain, Dr. Aylyarov may discuss joint replacement surgery as a highly effective option.
- My ankle feels weak and painful. What are my options?
- Chronic ankle pain and instability in seniors can be caused by arthritis or old ligament injuries. Treatment typically begins with supportive bracing, physical therapy, and injections. For severe cases, Dr. Aylyarov can discuss surgical options like ankle fusion or, in some cases, total ankle replacement to provide stability and pain relief.
- What is a rotator cuff tear?
- A rotator cuff tear is a problem with the group of four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears can occur from an injury or from gradual wear and tear, causing pain and weakness. Many tears can be managed with physical therapy and injections, but for larger tears, Dr. Aylyarov can perform arthroscopic surgery to repair the tendon.
- What is joint replacement surgery?
- Joint replacement surgery is a procedure where a damaged or arthritic joint is replaced with an artificial implant. The goal is to relieve the pain of bone-on-bone arthritis, and this very successful procedure often dramatically improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores independence for seniors, allowing them to walk and climb stairs more easily.
