Florida Surgery Consultants as a Spine and Orthopedics Practice

At Florida Surgery Consultants, we are a non-physician owned surgeon practice. While our name may suggest a focus solely on spine or orthopedic surgery, our capabilities extend beyond that. We have Neurosurgeons and Orthopedic surgeons on staff at all 7 of our clinics around Florida, primarily treating back or neck pain. We also specialize in orthopedics, treating knee and shoulder issues. Our surgeons stay current with the latest minimally invasive procedures for spine and some orthopedic surgeries. Many patients visit us anticipating the need for surgery, but our goal is to manage conditions such that surgery may not be necessary. Our Neurosurgeons, experts in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, also offer injections to reduce inflammation as a potential alternative to surgical interventions.

Orthopedic Conditions We Treat

SLAP Tear

This tear affects the labrum which is the cartilage on the rim of the shoulder’s socket. Sometimes the biceps tendon may also be damaged when the superior labrum anterior and posterior is damaged.

Meniscal Tears

This is a torn cartilage that is in the knee. I can be due to the normal aging process. When you hear a knee pop that may be a meniscus tear, which will start to hurt and swell.

Tendon Tears

This happens when tissues that connect the muscle to the bones tear. A common tendon tear can be a patellar tear.

Rotator Cuff Tear

Can happen over time due to repeated motion or can happen due to an acute injury such as a car accident. A rotator cuff tear happens when there is a tear in the muscle that surrounds the shoulder joint.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries

These are tears in your knee that can happen due to quickly changing directions or a specific motion that can tear this ligament. Most of the time a tear to the ACL will require surgery.
