Read More   Joint and Limb Preservation   Preserving Joints - Dr. Wrotslavsky understands the disappointment that can be associated with being told that only joint fusion or joint replacement can treat a particular condition. His goal is to make these procedures a last resort because he knows that joint fusion procedures often cause pain elsewhere and may result in a limited range of motion. If either procedure fails, the result is significant bone loss. That is why Dr. Wrotslavsky always strives to preserve the joins whenever possible via alternative remedies.     Preserving Limbs - Dr. Wrotslavsky strives to preserve limbs and their functionality whenever possible. He uses surgical techniques to aggressively stave off infections while educating patients and family members about tips to help them preserve limbs. He ensures that each patient clearly understands the risks and benefits along with the rehabilitation process that is completed after surgery in order to preserve the functionality of their limbs.
