Some of the advanced procedures available at Central Nebraska Orthopedics & Sport Medicine include:

MINIMALLY INVASIVE HIP SURGERY
Advanced surgical techniques allow us to conduct hip surgery using a much smaller incision than in traditional hip surgery. This helps reduce trauma and speed recovery in patients for whom this new technique is appropriate.

HIGH-FLEX KNEE REPLACEMENT
This new knee prosthesis allows greater flexibility of movement—almost as good as your original knee. The high-flex knee is especially suited for patients who maintain a high level of activity.

ANTERIOR CERVICAL FUSION
This highly delicate surgery on the vertebrae in the neck is actually conducted from the front of the neck, not the back. This helps reduce trauma and speed recovery.

CARTILAGE TRANSPLANT
Damage to cartilage can be repaired by taking samples of your health cartilage and “growing” new cartilage that is then surgically

IN-HOUSE MRI SERVICES
In most cases, we can obtain necessary MRI images right here in our office, instead of asking you to go to another medical office for a scan.

SPORTS MEDICINE
From soccer kids to professional athletes—from weekend softball players to senior power walkers—we’ve helped sports enthusiasts at every level get back into the game as quickly and safely as possible.

ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
From rotator cuff repair to advanced spinal surgery, our orthopedic surgeons are experienced in both traditional and advanced techniques—providing you with a number of options for care.

WORK INJURIES
Accidents and injuries on the job keep both the employee and the employer from being productive. If an accident happens, we coordinate treatment and rehabilitation to help workers safely and sensibly return to the job. We also work with employers to develop safety and training programs aimed at preventing workplace injuries and accidents.

STRAINS, SPRAINS AND FRACTURES
Even though sprains and broken bones are common, it takes a special level of care and expertise to ensure that the treatment and repair are done properly to avoid problems in the future.

ARTHRITIS AND BURSITIS
These diseases of the joints can be addressed through surgery and other treatment—helping you enjoy a better quality of life.

JOINT REPLACEMENT
You don’t have to live with the pain of a deteriorating knee or hip. We’ve conducted thousands of total joint replacements to help patients improve their mobility and become more pain-free.

CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY
Repetitive stress to the wrist and hands can cause trauma and debilitating pain. We offer precise and effective surgical techniques to address carpal tunnel injuries.

PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDICS
Addressing orthopedic problems at an early age can help prevent developmental problems later in life. Assessment and corrective surgery are among our areas of expertise in treating children and adolescents.
