Why Choose Us

The orthopaedic surgeons at Augusta University Health care for patients who have suffered a bone injury. Sometimes the damage is straightforward and can be treated in our clinic without surgery, while other more complex breaks may require the attention of an orthopaedic trauma surgeon.

Augusta University Medical Center has the region’s only Level I (highest level) Trauma Center which means we meet or exceed national standards for treatment of patients who have been hurt in motor vehicle crashes, falls, violence, or who have sport or job-related injuries.

Expertise in pelvic and limb salvage surgery

We are the only hospital in the region with an orthopaedic trauma surgeon specially trained to handle complex pelvic and hip socket (acetabulum) surgeries as well as advanced limb-salvage techniques. Other hospitals refer their complex cases to us because they know we are able to treat them. If you were told your injuries were so severe that you needed an amputation, our physicians may be able to help!

Our team of surgeons see many types of conditions, caring of patients with:

  • Amputations
  • Broken bones (arms, legs, hips, spine)
  • Bone infections
  • Crooked bones
  • Hip socket fractures (acetabular break)
  • Osteoporosis-related fractures
  • Pelvic fractures

Our orthopaedic surgeons care for any broken bone or bone issue in the body and have the expertise to perform complex surgeries including:

  • Limb salvage, surgery to remove damaged or diseased bone and tissue and reconstruct a patient’s limb using grafts, bone lengthening, and/or implants.
  • Advanced fixation techniques, for setting broken bones.
  • Hip and knee reconstruction
  • Surgical preservation of the hip, for adults and adolescents with abnormal formations of the hip socket that can lead to early arthritis.
  • Joint Replacement
  • Limb length inequality surgery, to fix significant differences in the length of limbs and make them equal.
