Treating Orthopaedic Injury

We treat patellar tendinitis (runner's knee), patellar instability, meniscal tears, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), Osgood-Schlatter disease, and other conditions and injuries of the knee.

Treatment of ACL injuries often involves replacing the ligament using various types of grafts, including using the patient’s own tissue (autograft) or prepared tissue (allograft). Physical therapy can begin within days, and patients can usually return to their activity or sport within six months. Full recovery can typically be achieved in about nine to twelve months.

The rotator cuff consists of muscles stabilizing the shoulder. Rotator cuff injuries are complex, and tears do not heal on their own. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Rudman uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to repair the tear, followed by a custom physical therapy program. 

From tennis elbow to "Tommy John" surgery, we can provide the treatment you need. Our treatments are designed to minimize down time and prevent recurrence.  

Hand and wrist injuries can be very debilitating to patients with an active lifestyle. From broken bones to dislocations, Dr. Rudman has the expertise to diagnose and treat your hand injury.
