Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Bruce Janke:
- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Janke and our team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the entire musculoskeletal systembones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. We provide both surgical and non-surgical options to relieve pain and restore function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Janke's practice emphasizes finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it's the most effective way to restore quality of life.
- What is a rotator cuff tear?
- A rotator cuff tear is a problem with the group of four tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint. Tears can result from injury or gradual wear and tear, causing pain and weakness. Many tears are treated successfully without surgery through physical therapy and injections, but for larger tears, Dr. Janke can perform arthroscopic surgery to repair the tendon.
- What is arthroscopic surgery?
- Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where Dr. Janke uses a tiny camera and small instruments inserted through small incisions to see and repair problems inside a joint. It often results in less pain, less tissue damage, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
- What is the recovery like after a knee or hip replacement?
- Recovery after knee or hip replacement is a process, starting with a hospital stay and continuing with extensive physical therapy. Modern techniques often allow patients to walk the same day as surgery. The goal is regaining strength and motion, leading to reduced pain and a return to daily activities within a few months.
- 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 pain persists and limits your daily activities, Dr. Janke may discuss joint replacement surgery as a highly effective option.
- My back and leg pain is getting worse. What could it be?
- Back and leg pain in seniors can sometimes be due to conditions like a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, where nerves in the lower back are being pinched. Dr. Janke can perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the exact cause and will typically start with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or epidural steroid injections to relieve the pressure and pain.
- What is a cortisone injection?
- A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into a painful area, like a knee or shoulder. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation, often providing temporary pain relief for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. It's a safe and effective tool to manage flare-ups.
