Complicated procedures require expert knowledge and treatment. The goal is to get young adults back to the sport they love. 💙🏃‍♂️

Robert C. Kollmorgen, DO, FAAOS, FAOBOS, is board certified in orthopaedic surgery and fellowship trained in hip preservation. Dr. Kollmorgen is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care. He believes that excellent health begins with education and prevention, as his mission is to enlighten patients about how they can take greater control of their own health. Correcting hip pain in young, active adults is often the first step toward preserving their mobility in the long term.

Meet Thomas Auerbach, PA-C! 👋During Dr. Kollmorgen's surgery, Tom provided valuable insights about the Hana Table.

The Hana Table is frequently used in hip surgeries, especially for procedures like hip arthroscopy and fracture fixation. This table enables the surgeon to:

- Position each leg independently,
- Apply controlled traction (gently pulling the leg) to open the hip joint,
- Enhance access and visualization of the joint during procedures.

The boots and attachments you see are designed to securely hold the legs in place while precise movements and traction are applied throughout the surgery.

Explore the world of orthopaedic care through an inside look at a follow-up appointment with Dr. Seiler, who is treating a patient dealing with persistent pain. For years, Susan struggled to find relief until she underwent a trapeziectomy.

A trapeziectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the trapezium bone at the base of the thumb. It is typically performed to alleviate pain and improve mobility for patients suffering from basal joint (carpometacarpal) osteoarthritis when conservative treatments are no longer effective.

Stay tuned for more updates on Susan's journey with Dr. Seiler, or call 559-320-0531 to schedule your own consultation.

New publication alert!

Dr. Kollmorgen recently published an article exploring the combination of two hip preservation surgeries: hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy. The article discusses how these surgeries affect dysplastic patients and asks, "Can you kill 2 birds with 1 stone?" Find out how the addition of hip arthroscopy to osteotomy has shown safety and improved patient outcomes.

Ever wonder why the lights go down during shoulder surgery?

It’s not for dramatic effect. Orthopaedic surgeons rely on a tiny camera to see inside the joint. A darker room reduces glare on the screen, helping them see every detail clearly and operate with precision.

Better visibility means more controlled movements and better patient outcomes.
