Minimally Invasive Surgery

Orthopedic surgeons at The Valley Health System perform minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. Using advanced technology, surgeons make small pencil-sized holes in the body while video equipment is used to provide a magnified view of the surgical site. Instruments are used to perform the surgery through the incisions. This type of surgery may result in smaller scars, less time in the hospital, a faster recovery and faster return to work and daily activities.*

Rehabilitation

Following orthopedic surgery, some patients may need rehabilitation to help relieve pain and increase function. The Valley Health System offers rehabilitation services to assist those recovering from surgery and other orthopedic procedures.
