Advancing Patient Care with Leading-Edge Treatments & Technology

At Desert Orthopaedic Center, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced, innovative, and effective treatments available. Our expert team offers leading-edge orthopaedic procedures and technologies designed to improve recovery, reduce pain, and restore function.

Some of the advanced orthopaedic procedures and treatments we offer include:

  • Pyrocarbon Hemiarthroplasty: A state-of-the-art shoulder replacement option using a pyrocarbon implant, designed to provide greater durability and a more natural feel for patients with shoulder arthritis or joint damage.
  • InSet™ Glenoid Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A modern approach to total shoulder replacement, this technique improves implant stability and longevity, enhancing range of motion and function.
  • Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS): A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small device to deliver electrical pulses to nerves, effectively reducing chronic pain in various areas of the body.
  • Intracept® Procedure for Low Back Pain: A breakthrough treatment targeting the basivertebral nerve, which has been shown to relieve chronic low back pain by interrupting pain signals at the source.
  • Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Injections: A natural treatment option that utilizes the patient’s own bone marrow to promote healing and reduce inflammation in joints, tendons, and soft tissues.
  • Meniscal Root Repair: An advanced, minimally invasive procedure that restores the function of the meniscus, helping to slow the progression of knee arthritis and improve joint health.
  • Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injections & Procedures: A precise and effective method for delivering injections to injured or inflamed joints, enhancing accuracy and patient outcomes.
  • Hyaluronic Acid & Therapeutic Injections: Non-surgical treatments that provide pain relief, lubrication, and improved joint function for patients with arthritis or soft tissue injuries.
  • Percutaneous Tenotomy (Tenex Procedure): A minimally invasive technique that removes damaged tendon tissue using ultrasound guidance, providing relief for chronic tendon injuries such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis.
  • MACI (Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation): A cartilage repair procedure that uses the patient’s own biological material to restore damaged knee cartilage, improving mobility and reducing pain.
  • Robotic Total Knee Replacement: An advanced, precision-based approach to knee replacement using robotic technology for more accurate implant placement, faster recovery, and better long-term outcomes.
  • Outpatient Total Shoulder Replacement: A minimally invasive alternative to traditional shoulder replacement, allowing patients to return home the same day while benefiting from improved pain relief and function.
  • Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction: A new, patented treatment option for bunions that addresses the bunion at the source of the problem in three dimensions. This procedure not only used advanced fixation technology to keep the correction in place but also allows patients to walk just days after surgery.
  • Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery: A treatment option that focuses on correcting the bunion through smaller incisions and specialized instruments
  • Shockwave Therapy: A noninvasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. Our doctors use it to treat chronic tendon issues in the foot and ankle—especially conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, peroneal tendonitis, and insertional Achilles pain—when other treatments haven’t worked.
  • HiRise Weight Bearing CT Imaging: A specialized cone-beam CT scanner designed for weight-bearing imaging, allowing doctors to assess the hips, pelvis, knees, and feet while patients are standing, providing a more accurate assessment of bone alignment and joint space under normal load.
  • VACOped Orthosis Boot: A nonoperative treatment for Achilles tendon injuries that provides adjustable immobilization and support while allowing for controlled movement during healing. This specialized boot helps reduce strain on the tendon, promotes proper alignment, and supports a gradual return to activity—often used as part of a functional rehabilitation program.

At Desert Orthopaedic Center, we are dedicated to staying at the forefront of orthopaedic advancements to ensure the best possible care for our patients. If you’re interested in learning more about these procedures or scheduling a consultation, call (702) 731-4088.
