Orthopaedic surgery in the 21st century is a highly technological field. In the past a single orthopaedic surgeon would treat every condition that involved the bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. Times have changed.
Advances in treatment options and in orthopaedic science have forced the specialization of orthopaedic surgeons. Several studies have confirmed that operative outcomes are improved when performed by surgeons who perform a high volume of that particular procedure. At Peninsula Orthopaedic Associates, each orthopaedist focuses his expertise on a particular facet of surgery and performs complex surgery on a frequent basis.
