Advanced Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine

"My passion is caring for patients suffering from musculoskeletal conditions, including sports and non-sports injuries, so that I can help them get back to their highest level of function. After careful evaluation and gathering diagnostic tools, I propose a treatment plan starting at the least invasive non-operative options, and if needed progress to low-invasive operative intervention."

Knees

Problems include injuries such as meniscus, MCL/LCL, and ACL/PCL tears or overuse/degenerative conditions such as osteochondritis and osteoarthritis. Treatment options include non-operative as platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid or a steroid injection in combination with therapy or arthroscopic debridement or repair depending on the specific condition.

Foot & Ankle

The foot/ankle position is a critical portion of the lower extremity axis which affects not only the hips and knees but also the lower back. Dr Ekstrand takes particular interest in realigning this axis using orthotics, braces, and therapy. She also evaluates patients with intra-articular foot/ankle injuries such as OCD lesions, spurs, loose bodies as well as extra-articular ligament and tendon tears. Many foot and ankle issues can be treated with non-surgical approaches, such as physical therapy, orthotics, and plasma/hyluronic acid/cortisone medications, and some issues require arthroscopic or open surgical procedures.

Plasma MicroNeedling

Discover the amazing advantages of micro-needling, a gentle and effective procedure that boosts collagen production, enhances your skin's texture and increases hair growth.

Small, sterile needles generate precise micro-injuries, prompting your skin to naturally rejuvenate and heal. This can diminish the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and large pores.

Giving you a more youthful and glowing complexion that you'll love.

These conditions can range from acute injuries, such as fractures and dislocations, to chronic conditions such as arthritis and degenerative joint disease. Orthopedic surgery can involve a variety of procedures, including joint replacement, fracture repair, ligament reconstruction, and arthroscopic surgery. The goal of orthopedic surgery is to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients dealing with musculoskeletal conditions.
