Dr. Steffes
Dr. Steffes' practice is centered around caring for athletic injuries of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle for all ages. He emphasizes a holistic approach to address injuries and forms an individualized treatment plan for each patient centered on their needs and goals. If a patient does require surgery, he utilizes the latest in arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat knee joint issues. Through small incisions, a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to repair or remove damaged tissues, such as torn meniscus or cartilage. This technique reduces recovery time and scarring compared to traditional surgery.
Tommy John surgery or UCL reconstruction involves reconstructing a damaged ligament on the inside of the elbow called the ulnar or medial collateral ligament with a tendon graft obtained from your own body or a donor. UCL injuries are common in throwing athletes such as baseball pitchers. Surgery can help injured players achieve a stronger repair and return quickly to the sport.
