Our Procedures
UPMC experts treat all types of orthopaedic conditions and offer a full range of procedures, including:
- Achilles tendon repair surgery – Achilles tendon repair surgery is a procedure to fix a partially or completely torn Achilles tendon. It can also treat severe Achilles tendonitis if nonsurgical treatments aren't effective.
- ACL repair or reconstruction surgery — A procedure to repair an injury to your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or reconstruct your ACL using a graft.
- Ankle arthroscopy – Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery to diagnose and treat ankle conditions. It can treat many ankle conditions, including arthritis, bone and cartilage issues, and torn ligaments.
- Arthroscopy — A minimally invasive procedure that allows your surgeon to see inside your joint with a small camera and treat a range of joint disorders without making a large incision.
- Bunionectomy – A bunionectomy is a surgery to remove a bunion. Bunions are bony, painful growths at the base of the big toe that can make it difficult to walk.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery – Also known as carpal tunnel release, this procedure relieves the pain and numbness caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgeon cuts a ligament in the wrist to allow more space for tendons and the median nerve.
- Elbow replacement (arthoplasty) – Elbow replacement is a surgery to replace damaged portions of the elbow joint with artificial parts. It is usually only an option if people have severe pain or can't use their arm.
- Foot and ankle surgery — Our team performs fracture repairs, joint replacements, reconstructive surgeries, and corrective surgeries to treat deformities.
- Hand surgery — Our team performs carpal tunnel surgery, joint replacement, tendon and nerve repair procedures, trigger finger surgery, Dupuytren’s contracture surgery, and more.
- Hip replacement surgery — Hip replacement surgery, also called hip arthroplasty, is a procedure that removes a damaged or diseased hip joint and replaces it with an artificial one.
- Knee injections — Knee injections are used to relieve pain from arthritis, injury, and other conditions for weeks or months at a time.
- Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery – Minimally invasive surgery is an option for certain conditions of the foot and ankle. Surgeons make smaller cuts, which usually leads to less pain and a faster recovery time.
- Partial and total knee replacement surgery — Partial and total knee replacement surgery involves replacing all or part of your damaged knee joint with an artificial knee implant.
- Rotator cuff repair surgery – Rotator cuff repair surgery is a procedure to fix a torn tendon in the shoulder. Your rotator cuff can get injured from playing sports, working a physically demanding job, or aging.
- Shoulder replacement surgery — Shoulder replacement surgery involves removing the original shoulder joint and replacing it with a prosthetic joint.
- Total ankle replacement surgery – A total ankle replacement is a surgery to replace the entire ankle joint with an artificial joint. It can treat end-stage ankle arthritis.
- Vascularized fibular grafting (VFG) — A procedure to replace damaged bone with a bone graft from your fibula, a bone in your lower leg.
