Expert Ortho Care


Your favorite activities are a part of what makes life great, but bone or joint pain can keep you sidelined. At Wellstar Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, affiliated with Medical College of Georgia, our skilled and caring ortho team is ready to help you find relief and get back to life with less pain and more freedom.

Wellstar orthopedic specialists offer complete care for all types of bone, joint and soft tissue injuries and conditions. From diagnosis and treatment through rehabilitation and recovery, we’ve got your back, whether you need our Ortho-On-Demand clinic with same-day appointments, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections or complex orthopedic surgery.

Because patients are receiving care in an academic medical center, they benefit from having access to physicians with high levels of training, cutting-edge technology and techniques, clinical trials and specialized services. Patients treated in teaching hospitals typically have better outcomes.

Care by an orthopedic leader

All our orthopedic surgeons are fellowship-trained in their subspecialty and are experts in their field of practice. As a result, patients get the most up-to-date and innovative treatment options and techniques.

Wellstar MCG Health Medical Center is the area’s only adult Level I Trauma Center, making us a leading hospital for complex orthopedic cases. We are a main referral center for other area hospitals because we are home to some of the best spine surgeons, orthopedic oncologists, orthopedic trauma surgeons and osteoporosis specialists in the CSRA. Many of our surgeons are nationally recognized in their treatment of hand, shoulder, spine and sports injuries.

Working together for you

When faced with complex cases, our entire care team of specialists, advanced practice providers and nurses meet to review your diagnosis and determine personalized treatment options. We then collaborate with other specialists from multiple fields of medicine, such as anesthesia, emergency medicine, neurology, oncology, radiology, rehabilitation, and rheumatology, to deliver your care.

Our Specialties

Wellstar offers a range of specialized orthopedic care, including:

  • Orthopedic oncology
  • Foot and ankle
  • Hand, wrist and elbow
  • Hip and knee
  • Joint replacement
  • Osteoporosis
  • Pediatric orthopedics
  • Shoulder surgery
  • Spine surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Trauma and fractures
  • Work-related injuries

Diagnosis

We provide the latest in diagnostics to determine what needs to be done and if surgery will be necessary. For diagnosis, we use:

  • Advanced imaging: Imaging of the affected area is done using either X-ray, MRI, CT scan or ultrasound. We also do bone density testing.
  • Blood testing (if necessary): Performed for bone cancer screenings.
  • Arthroscopic assessments: We offer nanoscopic arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique to look inside the knee and sometimes treat the condition without surgery. As tiny as a needle, this 1.9mm instrument has a high-tech camera to enable precise visualization of joints and tissues—and a faster recovery. During this diagnostic test, we can sometimes address the problem, providing diagnosis and treatment on the same day.

Treatment Options

Treatments vary depending on the seriousness of your condition or injury.

Ortho-On-Demand

We offer same-day appointments for emergencies at our walk-in clinic. Skip the urgent care or emergency department visit and get the orthopedic care you need.

Advanced fixation

Includes treatments such as bracing, booting or casting; sometimes a cane or crutches are used.

Injections

We administer medications such as corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid and local anesthetics to treat inflammation and pain. Image-guided ultrasound and fluoroscopy help experts navigate treatments that must be delivered with precision.

We also offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Used almost anywhere on your body, these injections help your own enriched plasma promote the healing of painful joints and tendons. This is a great option if you suffer from tendonitis, arthritis or sports injuries.

Orthopedic surgery

Carpel tunnel release, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff surgery, joint replacement, spinal surgery and bunion surgery are only a few of the procedures we do. Our team is well versed in small-incision, minimally invasive surgery as well as complex open surgical procedures.

Rehabilitation

A team of physical therapists and occupational therapists work together to help patients be your best and get back to doing what you love. Our goal is to help you regain mobility and function after injury or surgery. Specialty rehabilitation is available for people after a sports injury or spine procedure.

Physician examines X-ray. For adults with severe cases of degenerative scoliosis, spinal deformity correction may be necessary due to significant pain, limited movement or deformity.

Life-Changing Adult Scoliosis Surgery 

Spinal deformity correction can help adults with severe degenerative scoliosis. Wellstar is one of only a few centers in Georgia to offer this complex procedure.
