Specialties of Dr. Murphy

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY

As an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Murphy uses both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital conditions. Some conditions respond well to non-surgical treatments such as exercise, therapy, medication, casts or splints, and orthotics. Surgical orthopedic options may include knee and shoulder arthroscopy, ACL repair, knee replacement, hip replacement, repair of bone fractures, disc repair, spinal fusion, and carpal tunnel release.
Osteoarthritis is the most common reason for joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is caused by the wear and tear of aging. It causes the cartilage covering the joint surfaces to wear out, resulting in pain and stiffness. Total joint replacement will be considered if other treatment options will not relieve the pain and disability. In joint replacement surgery, Dr. Murphy will remove the arthritic or damaged joint and replace it with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. This relieves pain and improves mobility.

TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT

Recent advances in total joint replacement surgery have enabled Dr. Murphy to begin performing the surgeries on an outpatient basis. For qualified patients this can mean going home on the same day as the surgery, with reduced post- operative pain, increased range of motion and overall improved outcome.

In an arthroscopic examination, Dr. Murphy makes a small incision in the patient's skin and then inserts instruments that magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. This lets Dr. Murphy see the cartilage and ligaments to determine the amount or type of injury and then repair or correct the problem, if necessary. Candidates for arthroscopy include patients with chronic inflammation, tendon tears, impingement syndrome, persistent pain, catching, giving way, loss of confidence in the joint, and recurrent dislocations.

ARTHROSCOPY

TRAUMA, BROKEN BONES & FRACTURES

Dr. Murphy has expertise on the proper surgical or non-surgical treatment for each trauma patient, with the goal of returning the patient to their pre-injury functional level. As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Murphy is experienced in caring for any and all broken bones, including the treatment of patients with multiple fractures, compound fractures, and fractures near the joint.
