ORTHOPAEDICS & SPORTS INJURIES

False Creek Surgical Centre offers a broad range of orthopaedic surgery procedures performed by specialists and sub-specialists in their fields. Amongst the orthopedic surgery procedures offered include:

• Repair or resection of torn cartilage (meniscus)
• Reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
• Removal of inflamed lining (synovium)
• Repair of torn ligaments
• Removal of loose bone or cartilage
• Uni-lateral knee replacements

Surgeons at this Vancouver surgery centre perform orthopaedic surgery on ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hands.

Many of these procedures are performed by arthroscopic surgery, a surgical procedure in which the inside of the joint can be evaluated and treated using surgical instruments placed into the joint through small incisions (portals) measuring one centimeter or less (less than half an inch).

Some of the more common procedures include carpal tunnel surgery and the repair of ligament, tendon, nerve and artery. False Creek has three board certified plastic surgeons that are sub-specialized to treat hand injuries.
