Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are your business hours?
Hours of operation vary by location. Click on your preferred facility listed at the top of the screen to view. Appointments for each surgeon can be made by telephoning our practice at (404) 480-9330. Our telephone reception staff will then connect you to the secretary for your preferred surgeon, or alternatively offer you the earliest available appointments with any one of our surgeons.
Q: Why and when is arthroscopy necessary?
Diagnosing injuries and disease begins with a thorough medical history, physical examination and usually X-rays. Additional tests such as an MRI or CT scan may also be needed. An arthroscope can be used to make a final diagnosis, which is often more accurate than diagnosis made using "open" surgery or X-ray studies.
Q: What are the joints that can be viewed with an Arthroscope?
Contact Us Today
Although the inside of nearly all joints can be viewed with an arthroscope, six joints are most frequently examined with this instrument. These include the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip and wrist. Other joints may be treated more frequently in the future as engineers make advances in arthroscopic technology and orthopaedic surgeons develop new techniques.
Q: Will physical therapy be required after surgery?
Regaining a full range of motion, strength and flexibility after surgery usually takes time. That's why pre-operative exercise and education and post-operative physical therapy programs are so beneficial for patients. Pre-operative exercise and education can help ensure you're physically and emotionally prepared for surgery and will contribute to an optimal recovery after surgery.
