General Practitioners

Arthritis
Inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. While this progressive “wear and tear” of your elbow may be associated with pain, it also commonly leads to significant stiffness about the elbow. The elbow’s normal range of motion becomes limited, thus making it difficult for you to use your arm to carry out normal daily activities.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the result of increased pressure on one of the nerves in the wrist and hand. In patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, this nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. This compression causes the nerve to not function properly.

MRI
Each AOR office is equipped with x-ray, most offices have digital technology, where we are able to take all of the x-rays you will need during your visit. We are also able to view your X-Rays from outside hospitals on-line in most cases. If another radiology test is ordered (MRI, CT, Bone Scan) our office staff works with your insurance company to obtain authorization if needed and schedule the testing as soon as possible. Most of these can be done within one week’s time and in many cases within 24-48 hours.

Orthopedics
Arthroscopy
Shoulder Arthroscopy: This procedure is used to diagnose and treat shoulder injuries, typically involving the insertion of a thin camera into the joint.
Joint Replacement
Dr. Avolio is a native of Aliquippa, PA and is board certified in Orthopaedic surgery. He specializes in both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for most orthopaedic conditions. He has extensive experience in joint replacement surgery and Sports Medicine procedures including Arthroscopic surgery. He completed his Orthopaedic residency at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, PA and is one of the original founding members of Advanced Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation.

Bunions
Arthroscopy
Ankle Sprain and Fracture Surgeries: We can repair torn ligaments or broken bones in the ankle with procedures such as arthroscopy and open reduction internal fixation.
Hip Replacement
The hip joint is one the largest joints in our body, and it works to move our thigh forward and backward. The hip joint also rotates inward and outward for movements such as sitting and helps us to change direction when walking. When your hips become compromised due to disease, injury, or wear and tear, you may experience pain and limited movement. Hip replacement surgery is an effective treatment option for restoring mobility and reducing discomfort.
Knee Replacement
Injections primarily consisted of corticosteroids which simply masked their discomfort while adding to the deterioration of their cartilage, thus making their arthritis worse. Viscosupplementation was a simple lubricant that rarely was effective enough on its own. While total knee replacement remains a very effective way of treating patients with severe bone on bone knee arthritis, nine out of 10 patients that present to me do not yet require surgery. Thus, we were simply chasing symptoms until that patient’s knee cartilage was so worn out that they needed a knee replacement.
Reconstructive Surgery

Psoriasis
Several diseases can result in arthritis, but trauma and rheumatoid disease are the most common causes in the ankle. Other inflammatory types of arthritis that can affect the foot and ankle are rheumatoid, inflammatory, gout, psoriasis, lupus (SLE), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and Reiter’s syndrome.

Tennis Elbow
Medial epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow, is similar to its counterpart, tennis elbow, except for the location of the pain located on the elbow as well as the activity leading up to the injury caused this pain. Both conditions are caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm, leading to inflammation and pain around the elbow joint.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain usually occurs when one or more of the ligaments gets injured in the ankle. Ligaments in the ankle are bands of tissue, like rubber bands, that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement.

There are two types of hammer toes which are classified on the degree of mobility found in the joint itself, flexible and rigid. A rigid hammer toe has minimal movement and can be painful. In contrast, a flexible hammer toe, does have the ability to move and can be straightened manually.
