Ever wondered how we make a custom wrist splint?

Unlike a traditional cast, a removable Delta Cast splint offers support and protection, but can also be taken off for things like showering, caring for surgical wounds, and checking on how the wrist is healing.

That little bit of flexibility can make a big difference when recovering from certain wrist fractures or surgeries.

Join Leigh Giffault, OTR/L, for a behind-the-scenes look at how our hand therapy team makes and fits these splints for patients, from start to finish.

Great care is a team effort. 🤝

From the first phone call through surgery and recovery, there are so many people working to make sure our patients feel supported every step of the way.

Nothing like a thoughtful patient review to start the week on a high note.

Going into another week with nerve symptoms showing up in your legs?

Pain, burning, numbness, or tingling in the legs can sometimes trace back to an irritated nerve in the lower spine.

That's where having both spine and nonsurgical pain specialists on your care team matters.

Dr. John Pantuosco works alongside our spine surgeons to offer interventional options when appropriate, including the lumbar epidural steroid injection he's breaking down here.

It's about time we properly introduced Aaron Smith, PA-C. 👋

Aaron has been part of the Orthopedic Partners team for nearly a year, working directly alongside Dr. Piposar and helping patients stay active, informed, and moving forward.

We recently sat down with Aaron to talk a little more about his path into orthopedics, his approach to patient care, and why one of his simplest pieces of advice is often one of the most important: keep moving.

Here's a quick introduction, then head over to our YouTube channel to get to know Aaron a little better.

With fall sports in full swing around the country, one injury we unfortunately hear about pretty often is an ACL tear.

But what actually happens when that ACL needs to be reconstructed?

Dr. Piposar gives us a pretty incredible look inside the knee as he walks a patient through the images from surgery at their two-week follow-up.

You'll see the original torn ACL, where the new graft came from, how it's positioned and secured inside the knee, and even how Dr. Piposar checks its tension during surgery.

Four digits looks pretty good on you, Dr. Green. 👏Congratulations to Dr. Adam Green on his 1,000th Mako robotic-assisted...

Four digits looks pretty good on you, Dr. Green. 👏

Congratulations to Dr. Adam Green on his 1,000th Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement!

A milestone like this doesn't happen alone. Thank you to the incredible team that's been alongside him - and to the many patients who have trusted Dr. Green and Orthopedic Partners with their care.

Congratulations on 1,000, Dr. Green! 🎉

When your surgical incisions are this small, it can be surprising to hear everything that happened underneath them.

This patient is back with Christian in therapy for suture removal after wrist surgery with Dr. Kardestuncer.

A synovectomy removed inflamed tissue. A TFCC debridement cleaned up damaged tissue in an important stabilizing structure of the wrist, and removed a ganglion cyst.

Christian gives us a look at what recovery involves, and this patient shares the workplace accident that started the whole story.

And through all of it, her takeaway is pretty simple: “They take good care of you here.”

Shooting pain down your leg is worth asking about.

For some people, the hesitation is knowing that the answer might involve their spine. But seeing a spine specialist doesn't automatically mean surgery - or even that you have a serious problem.

Dr. Peter Wagner explains one possible cause, spinal stenosis, and why getting established with a spine specialist early can give you more options for managing symptoms, monitoring changes, and staying active.
