Dr. Ellis keeps current on the latest developments and advanced technologies in the field of orthopedics. They include:

  • Arthroscopic surgery and minimally invasive incisions for surgery of the shoulder.
  • Arthroscopic repair of cruciate ligaments and meniscus tears of the knee.
  • Hyalgan®
    • A naturally occurring clear gel that is injected into an arthritic joint, which can extend the life  of a moderately arthritic joint. This is especially beneficial for young patients with damaged knees from sports injuries or in elderly patients who either do not desire joint replacement or for medical reasons cannot have surgery.
