Dr. Rozbruch specializes in treating spinal conditions such as piriformis syndrome, lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, SI joint pain, and spondylolisthesis.

Shoulder Orthopedics & Repair

The shoulder is a delicate part of the human body that may be more prone to injury in some patients. In some cases, a history of shoulder conditions or injuries may make a patient more likely to develop another shoulder condition. It is important to see an orthopedist promptly if you have recurring shoulder pain, as early intervention can prevent additional damage from occurring. Some shoulder conditions may arise after a direct injury or trauma to the shoulder, which is often very noticeable and easier to diagnose. On the other hand, many patients may slowly develop a shoulder condition as they age.

As patients get older, the shoulder experiences wear and tear and begins to degenerate. If a structure within the shoulder degenerates too much, a tear, rupture, or another shoulder condition may occur. Dr. Rozbruch specializes in diagnosing and treating shoulder injuries such as shoulder impingement, shoulder labrum tear, and rotator cuff tears. Dr. Rozbruch is also skilled at detecting and treating shoulder conditions that may have been brought on by age, including shoulder osteoarthritis and AC joint arthritis. At the office of Dr. Rozbruch, we offer total shoulder replacement, shoulder impingement surgery, shoulder labrum tear repair, shoulder osteoarthritis treatment, and rotator cuff repair. PRP injections for shoulder pain may also be prescribed as a nonsurgical treatment for some shoulder conditions. Please click the below links for more details on the shoulder conditions we treat.

Hip Replacement

With age, osteoarthritis may cause pain in the hip that can affect your mobility and range of motion. Dr. Rozbruch is a hip surgeon who can replace arthritic joints within the hip to reduce this pain and restore functionality to the hip. Where 2 bones connect, there is a layer of articular cartilage, which reduces friction between these bones. When this cartilage is no longer as healthy or present, the 2 bones may come into direct contact, resulting in a painful grinding. In cases like this, hip replacement surgery or revision hip replacement may be needed. Hip arthroplasty is designed to surgically remove and replace an arthritic hip joint with a prosthetic joint. This artificial joint is shaped and designed to look and function exactly as your natural hip joint. Dr. Rozbruch can help you find relief from hip pain with hip arthroplasty. While hip replacement surgery, is an effective hip pain treatment, revision hip replacement may be needed, especially in younger patients. Revision hip surgery is often required because the artificial hip joint experiences the same wear and tear as your natural hip joint.

Knee Orthopedics & Knee Reconstruction

Knee pain or discomfort can limit your mobility and inhibit a proper range of motion. A painful knee may be the result of a knee injury or knee conditions. Knee conditions, such as a meniscus tear or ACL tear, are the result of an accident or injury to the knee. Another common cause for a knee condition to develop is degeneration of the knee structures. Degeneration of the knee due to wear and tear may cause knee bursitis, arthritis, or osteoarthritis. Dr. Rozbruch can help diagnose a wide variety of knee injuries and knee conditions, as well as suggest an effective treatment or surgery. With knee orthopedic medicine, Dr. Rozbruch can help you return to your daily activity with little to no knee pain or discomfort.

An arthritic knee joint is a common cause for knee pain that occurs mostly in older patients. Knee arthritis or osteoarthritis is brought upon by the degeneration of the articular cartilage in your knee, which is designed to reduce friction between the thigh bone and shin bone. When this cartilage degenerates, the bones begin to grind together and cause pain. In cases like this, knee replacement or partial knee replacement may be needed. Revision knee replacement may also be suggested to patients who are experiencing knee pain again and have undergone knee replacement surgery previously.

Ankle / Foot Orthopedics & Treatments

Dr. Rozbruch is an accomplished ankle and foot surgeon who offers treatments for various conditions that cause pain or discomfort in the toes, feet, or ankles. Many conditions of the foot and ankle stem because of narrow or ill-fitting footwear. Patients who wear narrow shoes such as high heels may be more prone to developing certain ankle and foot conditions. Some common ankle and foot conditions that may be due to tight shoes include Achilles tendonitis, bunions, and Morton’s neuroma. Proper footwear and arch support can dramatically reduce foot and ankle pain.

For some patients, a change in footwear may not be enough to treat their ankle or foot pain. Dr. Rozbruch may suggest surgery such as a bunionectomy, Achilles surgery, hallux rigidus surgery, Morton’s neuroma surgery, or posterior tibial tendon surgery. Dr. Rozbruch is an accomplished foot surgeon who can remove damaged tissues, bunions, or growths. Additionally, he can repair damaged structures of the ankle and foot to reduce any inflammation or pain. Dr. Rozbruch can help you determine if you may benefit from a foot or ankle surgery.
