🎉 Student of the Month Spotlight 🎉

Iowa Ortho’s Student of the Month recognizes one outstanding student from the radiology programs we partner with at Mercy College of Health Sciences and Indian Hills Community College. While we value every student who rotates through our clinical site, this recognition is reserved for someone who truly goes above and beyond.

Meet our May Student of the Month, Camryn!

Camryn is a second-year student at Mercy College of Health Sciences who consistently goes above and beyond in providing exceptional patient care. She has a remarkable ability to make patients feel comfortable, valued, and genuinely cared for, creating positive experiences with every interaction.
No matter what path she might have chosen, it’s clear that Camryn has a natural gift for working with people.
We congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition and wish her all the best as she enters her final year!

True or False: If you have hip pain, it means you have hip arthritis.

False!

While arthritis is a common cause of hip pain, it’s not the only one. Hip discomfort can also come from conditions like muscle strains, bursitis, tendonitis, or even issues in the lower back. Getting the right diagnosis is key to finding the right treatment and getting back to moving comfortably.

If you’re experiencing hip pain and aren’t sure what’s causing it, our specialists are here to help. Schedule an appointment today and take the first step toward relief.

Orthopedic trauma can happen in an instant, but knowing what to do next can make all the difference.

We're proud to see Dr. Nwosa and Dr. Aderibigbe featured on WHO 13 News, where they shared expert insight on orthopedic trauma, when surgery may not be necessary, and steps you can take to help prevent injuries before they happen.

Thank you to WHO 13 for helping educate our community on injury prevention and orthopedic care.

A devastating injury could have ended Hailey's wrestling career—but she wasn't ready to give up on her goals.

After tearing her UCL during her junior year state wrestling tournament, Hailey turned to Dr. Steven Aviles. Through surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation, her goal remained the same: get back on the mat for her senior season.

Not only did Hailey make a full recovery, but she returned stronger than before—finishing her senior year as a conference champion, a 2026 state qualifier, and earning a 6th-place finish at the state tournament.

Stories like Hailey's remind us why we do what we do. Congratulations, Hailey, on an incredible comeback!
