Leading-edge Technology and Programs
Minimally Invasive Procedures
BIDMC offers advanced, minimally invasive procedures for knee, hip and shoulder injuries.
Benefits of Smaller Incisions
Smaller incisions mean:
- Less disruption to muscle and tendons
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Quicker recovery for patients
Arthroscopic Surgery Advances
Arthroscopic procedures are revolutionizing hip, knee, wrist, shoulder, elbow, spine and ankle reconstruction.
Ligament damage, torn cartilage and
meniscal injuries can now be repaired less invasively, restoring a patient's activity level and mobility faster.
Primary Care Sports Medicine Program
Unique to most orthopaedics surgery programs, the primary care
sports medicine service offers evaluation and non-invasive treatment and rehabilitation therapies for non-surgical acute and overuse
injuries as well as chronic pain.
Cartilage Injections
Pioneering techniques to resurface joints and treat cartilage injuries are available, including viscosupplementation, a novel form of injection therapy that promotes healing in joints affected with
arthritis.
Advanced Limb-Sparing Procedures
Revolutionary advances in limb prostheses and limb-sparing surgery offer BIDMC patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas and neoplasms an opportunity to preserve their mobility and function and sustain a quality of life that was until now not possible.
