About Orthopedic Surgery

The orthopedic surgery team at M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group specializes in the evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Patients from Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Flushing, Great Neck, and nearby Queens communities come to us for fracture evaluation, joint pain, arthritis, sports injuries, falls, and mobility limitations that affect daily life. Whether you are dealing with chronic knee pain, a recent broken bone, or a shoulder, hip, foot, or ankle injury, our orthopedic team provides a full spectrum of care from conservative management to advanced surgical options. We understand that for many patients, maintaining independence and mobility is a top priority. That is why we emphasize a conservative-first approach, exploring physical therapy, bracing, injections, activity modification, and other non-surgical treatments before recommending surgery. When surgery is the best path forward, our team uses modern techniques, including minimally invasive and arthroscopic approaches when appropriate, to support safer recovery and help you return to the activities you enjoy.

Orthopedic Surgery — what to expect

What to Expect

Your Visit, Step by Step

Your orthopedic consultation begins with a comprehensive evaluation including a physical exam, review of your symptoms and medical history, and any necessary imaging such as X-rays or MRI. Your surgeon will explain the diagnosis in clear terms and discuss all available treatment options, from non-surgical approaches to surgical intervention. If surgery is recommended, you will receive detailed preparation instructions, a clear timeline for recovery, and a coordinated rehabilitation plan.

Who Is This For?

Orthopedic surgery services are for adults experiencing joint pain, fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, or mobility limitations who want expert evaluation and a full range of treatment options — surgical and non-surgical — from an experienced orthopedic team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need surgery for my joint pain?
Not necessarily. Many joint conditions respond well to conservative treatments including physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and activity modification. Surgery is typically recommended only when these approaches have not provided adequate relief.
What minimally invasive options are available?
M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group offers arthroscopic procedures, minimally invasive joint replacement techniques, and innovative alternatives like genicular artery embolization for knee pain. These approaches result in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
How long is recovery after joint replacement?
Recovery timelines vary, but most patients begin walking with assistance within a day of surgery and return to many daily activities within four to six weeks. Full recovery, including return to more demanding activities, typically takes three to six months with consistent physical therapy.
Is joint replacement safe for elderly patients?
Joint replacement is routinely performed on patients in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Our team conducts thorough pre-operative evaluations to ensure you are medically optimized for surgery, and we use anesthesia techniques that are safer for older adults.
Will I need physical therapy after orthopedic surgery?
Yes, physical therapy is a critical part of recovery after most orthopedic procedures. M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group coordinates your rehabilitation to ensure a smooth transition from surgery to recovery, with physical therapy services available right within our care network.
