Learn MoreSurgical and Non-surgical Treatment
We aim to make surgery the final option, not the first option. Within the last few years, our team has been able to treat over 80% of new patients without surgery. But when orthopaedic surgery is the best choice for you, the vast majority of our surgical procedures are performed with minimally invasive arthroscopy, using small cameras and incisions less than five millimeters in size.
Recovery Supported by the Experts
Your recovery is supported by sports-certified physical therapists and occupational therapists to address your core rehabilitation needs. Since they are part of the UAMS Health team, they are able to get a full picture of your history and create a personalized plan just for you.
