Foot and Ankle Surgery:
Orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons are experts in managing both complex and common reconstructive foot and ankle problems. Using an integrated team approach, physicians treat foot deformities resulting from fractures, overuse, or osteoarthritis with conservative management techniques or with surgical reconstruction. Our team of experts also manages disorders such as bunions, and problems in the heel, ankle, toe and forefoot areas.

Orthopaedic Oncology:
Orthopaedic Oncology strives to provide expert interdisciplinary care for a variety of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue malignancies and tumor-like conditions. A team of surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and allied health professionals at UNMC's Eppley Cancer Center render individualized care of the highest quality. Bone and soft tissue tumors in all areas of the axial and appendicular skeleton are addressed. We emphasize a modern approach to preservation of skeletal function, and often use bone allografts and custom prosthetic implants.

Hand Surgery: Orthopaedic surgeons receive special training in hand surgery to treat conditions affecting the hand and wrist. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis can often be relieved by advanced reconstructive surgeries including hand and wrist fusions or joint replacement procedures for the wrist, thumb, and fingers. Advanced methods of nerve decompression surgery are also performed with several techniques of open and arthroscopic carpal tunnel decompression. Hand surgeons also specialize in treating and repairing congenital hand deformities and brachial plexus injuries. Physicians treat patients in consultation with pediatricians, neurologists, and occupational therapists.

“I can’t say enough about the very, very good doctors and nurses I have had at UNMC since I was treated for cancer and later a hip replacement. Their care and thoughtfulness was exceptional! Thank you over and over again. My family and I are so greatful.” Edward, Hodgkins lymphoma patient who had hip replacement surgery.
