Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Arthritis of the hand does not have to result in a painful or sedentary life. It is important to seek help from your New Orleans orthopaedic specialist early so that treatment can begin and you can return to doing what matters most to you.
Plantar Fasciitis
Your New Orleans orthopaedic specialists find that plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes and supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and inflamed, causing your heel or the bottom of your foot to hurt when you stand or walk.
Medical Weight Loss
This type of surgery is typically prescribed for patients who suffer from severe arthritis (or other joint disease) and have had no success with conservative treatments such as pain medication, localized injections, exercise/activity modification, physical therapy weight loss or rehabilitation.

Pelvic Pain

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome typically starts gradually with a vague aching in your wrist that can extend to your hand or forearm. Common carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms include...

Ultrasound
Your doctor may get further confirmation by using a syringe to draw out some of the fluid in the cyst or ultrasound.
MRI
An X-ray can help the orthopaedic surgeon rule out other possible causes of elbow pain, such as a fracture or arthritis. Rarely, more comprehensive imaging studies â€” such as magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) â€” are performed.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The Mako System for Robotic Arm-assisted technology is a completely customized surgical plan for your unique anatomy. A CT scan of the joint is taken and uploaded into the software, where a 3D model of the joint is created. During the operation, an orthopedic surgeon uses this model as a guideline while performing the joint replacement.

Orthopedics
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that treats disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, connective tissue, ligaments and cartilage. The Orthopaedic Specialists of New Orleans treat orthopedic conditions ranging from disorders of the ankle and foot to hip and knee to spine and provides comprehensive services in one, fully equipped location.
Pinched Nerve
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a progressively painful hand and arm condition caused by a pinched nerve in your wrist. A number of factors can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, including the anatomy of your wrist, certain underlying health problems and possibly patterns of hand use. Your New Orleans orthopaedic specialist will determine the cause and prescribe the best treatment!
Joint Replacement
Please note that the Mako Robotic Arm doesn’t move on its own without the guidance of the surgeon; it does not actually perform the surgery or make any kind of decisions on its own. It is an extremely helpful tool to allow the surgeon to more accurately perform the joint replacement.
Hand Surgery
Orthopedic Surgery
If you suffer from knee joint pain, you know the discomfort, struggles and limitations you face in your life daily. This pain may be a result of knee arthritis and, depending on the severity of the condition, may require orthopedic surgery to replace the diseased joint.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery may not be the first thought that comes to mind when it comes to your knee pain, but why not use the most up-to-date technology and procedures available to you?
Hip Replacement
Minimally invasive anterior hip replacement is performed by Dr. Richard Meyer, Jr. at Orthopaedic Specialists of New Orleans, APMC using the HANA total hip table. The HANA table allows Dr. Meyer to apply traction to the hip joint and expose the bone surfaces without cutting any muscles. This means you recover much faster and get back to your normal activities.
Knee Replacement
You and your Orthopedic Specialists of New Orleans may discuss knee replacement surgery if you have a painful, stiff knee that makes it challenging to perform simple everyday activities and other treatments are no longer effective. This surgery is typically reserved for patients over the age of 50 who suffer with severe osteoarthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves removing all or part of the knee joint and replacing the damaged parts with an artificial joint, constructed from metals and plastics. Although it may take months to recover fully, the relief it provides can last many years or even a lifetime.
Reconstructive Surgery
If surgery is required, less invasive techniques are used by our New Orleans orthopaedic surgeons to enable faster recovery with less pain and better mobility than with traditional open reconstructive surgery.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
When youâ€™re hurt, thereâ€™s only one thing you want: to get better quickly and with a minimum amount of recovery time. And yet too many â€œsports medicineâ€ clinics are quick to recommend extensive surgical procedures, with long recovery times and often-painful rehabilitation regimens.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is often ordered to address a specific problem. When the prescribed treatment fails to address the patientâ€™s complaints, surgical alternatives are often required. My patients frequency tell me when they are ready for surgery, after having failed conservative care, and still experiencing pain that affects their quality of life. Elimination of pain should always be the primary surgical motivation; however, functional limitations with activi
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
“Tennis Elbow” is a term used by your New Orleans orthopaedic specialist for a condition caused by overuse of the arm, forearm, and hand muscles that results in elbow pain. You don’t have to play tennis to get this, but the term came into use because it can be a significant problem for some tennis players.
Heel Pain

Achilles Tendonitis
For patients who suffer from painful knee osteoarthritis, treatment options usually include joint replacement surgery, physical therapy, or steroid injections. At Orthopedic Specialists of New Orleans, we offer new cutting-edge treatment options such as stem cell injections to treat patients who suffer from knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tendonitis, degenerative arthritis, and Achilles tendonitis.
Ankle Sprain
Foot and ankle injuries are relatively common among active people of all ages. The demands made on our feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including sprained ankles, shin splints and stress fractures.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Most people with plantar fasciitis have pain when they take their first steps after they get out of bed or sit for a long time. You may have less stiffness and pain after you take a few steps. But your foot may hurt more as the day goes on. It may hurt the most when you climb stairs or after you stand for a long time.
