What are some common conditions an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Jewer treats?

Dr. Jewer treats a wide range of musculoskeletal problems.

How long is the recovery time after orthopedic surgery with Dr. Jewer?

Recovery time after orthopedic surgery varies significantly depending on the specific procedure, the patient's overall health, and their commitment to rehabilitation. Minor procedures might involve a recovery period of a few weeks, while major surgeries like total joint replacements can require several months for a full return to normal activities. Dr. Jewer will thoroughly discuss the expected recovery timeline during the pre-operative consultation.

What is joint replacement surgery, and when might Dr. Jewer recommend it?

Joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) involves replacing damaged or arthritic parts of a joint (hip, knee, shoulder) with artificial components. Dr. Jewer may recommend this if a patient experiences severe joint pain and functional limitations due to advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or significant injury, and if non-surgical treatments have proven inadequate. The aim is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.
