Many individuals do not realize they may need joint replacement surgery until pain and stiffness significantly limit their daily activities. Arthritis is a primary cause of joint pain that often leads to surgical intervention. Joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, removes damaged joint structures and replaces them with an artificial implant, restoring movement and reducing discomfort.

Dr. Onyike specializes in hip and knee replacements, utilizing various approaches to optimize patient outcomes. Whenever possible, he recommends minimally invasive techniques that reduce post-operative pain, scarring, and recovery time. In addition, he performs revision surgery for patients who have previously undergone joint replacement but require corrections due to implant wear, loosening, infection, or fractures around the joint.

The hip and knee joints endure significant stress and are susceptible to injuries from daily activities and physical exertion. Conditions such as arthritis, fractures, and ligament injuries—including ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL tears—can cause persistent pain and limit mobility. Dr. Onyike performs specialized orthopedic procedures to address these concerns, helping patients regain function and return to normal activities as quickly as possible.

Regenerative medicine has emerged as a promising treatment for orthopedic conditions, offering potential alternatives to surgery in certain cases. Many patients have benefited from regenerative therapies, which help accelerate healing and tissue repair.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is among the most widely used regenerative treatments. This process involves drawing a patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets, and injecting them into the affected area to enhance the body’s natural healing response. Regenerative treatments are commonly used for ligament and muscle injuries, as well as to support recovery following surgery or bone fractures. We evaluate each patient’s condition to determine if regenerative orthopedics is an appropriate treatment option.

Athletes, whether recreational or professional, are at risk of orthopedic injuries due to the physical demands of their sport. Fortunately, most sports-related injuries can be effectively treated using either surgical or non-surgical approaches. Our goal is to help patients recover and return to their activities without compromising performance.

We conduct detailed evaluations to identify orthopedic issues that may require treatment. This is particularly important for athletes who may be prone to injuries due to repetitive strain or past trauma. Our focus is on restoring function while implementing strategies to reduce the risk of future injuries.

Traditional open surgery for joint conditions often involves large incisions, longer recovery times, and increased risks of complications. Arthroscopy has revolutionized joint surgery by allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat conditions using minimally invasive techniques.

With arthroscopy, only small incisions are needed to insert a specialized camera and surgical instruments into the joint. This technique minimizes tissue disruption, reduces scarring, and shortens recovery time. Arthroscopy is commonly used for knee, shoulder, and hip procedures and is widely regarded as one of the most effective surgical advancements in orthopedics.

Injuries sustained in the workplace can significantly impact an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks. Our orthopedic team provides comprehensive care to help employees recover efficiently and return to work as soon as possible.

Our work-related injury program includes:

• Immediate response to referring physicians
• Thorough evaluation and treatment of injuries
• Prompt documentation and communication with employers, adjusters, and case managers

By providing structured and effective care, we help ensure that employees achieve the best possible recovery outcome.

Dr. Onyike serves as an expert medical witness in cases related to personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice. His extensive experience in orthopedic surgery provides valuable insight into legal matters requiring medical expertise.

Chronic pain in the bones, joints, and spine can affect daily function and overall well-being. We offer targeted treatment plans to address conditions such as arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and nerve-related pain. Our approach includes non-surgical interventions, physical therapy, and surgical procedures when necessary to help patients regain mobility and reduce discomfort.

Rehabilitation plays a critical role in recovery after orthopedic injuries or surgery. Our physical therapy programs focus on strengthening muscles, improving joint mobility, and preventing further injuries. Patients receive customized exercise regimens and hands-on therapy to optimize their recovery process.

The hand and wrist are complex structures that require specialized treatment for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, and tendon injuries. Our surgical expertise includes both minimally invasive and traditional procedures to restore hand function and alleviate pain. Whether addressing chronic conditions or acute injuries, our team provides the highest standard of orthopedic care.
