Fractures & Sports Injuries
I treat fractures and ligament and tendon injuries from daily life and sports. After I moved to a general hospital in 2026, my fracture surgery volume rose sharply. I have also written about when to remove metal after a bone has healed, bone health (osteopenia) and bone infection.
Conditions I treat
- Fractures from daily life and sports
- Ligament and tendon injuries
- Hardware removal
- Osteopenia
