What is arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It allows orthopedic surgeons to look inside the body. Providers can diagnose and repair injuries to the joints or the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage in the body.

During the surgery, the surgeon makes a series of button-hole-sized incisions near the injured or diseased area. Then the surgeon inserts a thin tube holding a micro-camera into each incision. As the surgeon guides the camera through the affected area, the camera projects video images onto a monitor.

Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see what’s happening inside the body without major surgery.

What is an IT band injury?

Iliotibial band or IT band syndrome often is classified as an overuse injury.

The IT band is the long, flexible, fibrous tendon that runs down the outside of the leg from the hip to below the knee joint.

When the IT band becomes inflamed or irritated, it swells and no longer moves freely. The swollen tendon restricts movement or “catches” on the bones of the joint, causing pain and stiffness.

What is bursitis?

Bursitis occurs when the bursa, a synovial-fluid-filled sac is inflamed. Though slippery and tiny, the bursa has a big job. It acts as a cushion and allows the bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles to work together without friction. When these tiny water-balloon-like sacs become inflamed and swell, movement is painful.

What causes bursitis?

Many cases of bursitis in the joints result from repeated movement of the joint. It is a type of overuse injury.

But overuse injury is only one cause of bursitis.

Age, arthritis, gout, injury, or surgery are other factors. Being overweight also applies more pressure to the bursa.

Bursitis can occur in any joint, tendon, or […]

Would an ergonomic assessment help you enjoy less stress while working from home?


Have you noticed a pain in your neck, back, shoulders, knees, or hands since the pandemic started?

It may be your workspace:

  • A low chair strains your knees.
  • A poorly positioned monitor leads to neck pain.
  • The wrong seat height or chair pitch can create painful back conditions.
  • Incorrect keyboard placement causes pressure and pain in the wrist.

Sitting for hours with your body in the wrong position plus the stresses and strains of working from home, and you have a recipe for tight muscles and pain.

Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment to work with the […]

Why does my hip hurt when I walk?

Your hip joint is the largest joint in your body. When it hurts, it can slow you down or even stop you.

Hip pain can result from injury or diseases that directly affect the bone, cartilage, or other parts of the joint. Pain can also occur when something goes awry with the heavy-duty muscles supporting the hip joint: quadriceps in the front of the thigh, hamstrings in the back of the leg, and gluteus maximus or buttocks.

If you experience pain in the outside of the hip, in the groin, thigh, buttock, or low back when you […]

Dave Cameron is back to doing what he wants to do

After helping people escape from fires for three decades, former Billings, Montana firefighter, Dave Cameron retired in Wisconsin.

Dave and his wife, Diane, moved to Deerbrook and fenced in 100 acres to raise Highlander cattle.

Well into his seventies, Dave was used to an active life full of strength and vigor until arthritis in his hip started to slow him down.

He made an appointment at Bone & Joint and saw Dr. Jeffrey Martin, an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Martin and Dave discussed his condition and began a conservative treatment plan to relieve Dave’s pain and slow the progression of arthritis. […]

What is an anterior hip replacement?

Anterior hip replacements have fewer restrictions.

The anterior approach to total hip replacement is a minimally invasive procedure that allows people to get back to their active lives without restrictions.

The anterior approach procedure is popular for its potential benefits. During the anterior approach procedure a small incision is made on the front of the upper thigh, which allows the surgeon to spread the muscles and work through the natural spaces between them. This technique does not disturb the gluteal muscles or detach muscles from the pelvis or the femur. Since the muscles are not cut, healing and recovery occur […]
