Orthopedic conditions and injuries can affect many parts of your musculoskeletal system, including the upper and lower extremities. Some injuries (such as fractures) may occur from sports, physical activities, or repetitive use, while others may be the result of long-term inflammation, degenerative disease, infections, tumors, or other medical disorders. Dr. Porter is a sports medicine-trained orthopedic surgeon and has extensive experience treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. He works closely with patients to provide a thorough evaluation of their musculoskeletal system to identify the root cause of their pain.
