A Depth of Specialties
Trauma physicians at Cape Cod Healthcare are using state-of-the-art techniques and technology to help you recover from a traumatic injury.
Shawn P. Mills, MD, PC, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon on staff at Falmouth Hospital, helps patients recover from conditions requiring orthopedic trauma care or sports medicine. He also trains other orthopedic surgeons about the complex trauma management of injuries to the shoulder, knee, spine, hip, femur, tibia, and ankle.
“I was an early pioneer of minimally invasive surgery techniques in regard to traumatic injuries during my training,” says Dr. Mills. “Today I use the newest, most advanced equipment and research to repair hip and femur fractures, which allow for smaller incisions and faster rehabilitation.”
Right Down to the Feet
Paul R. Benoit Jr., MD, FAAOS, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle procedures on staff at Cape Cod Hospital, offers complete care for your feet.
“Several patients deal with problems such as arthritis, hammertoe, adult acquired flat foot, or complications from diabetes,” says Dr. Benoit. “At times we’re able to treat these conditions using conservative methods such as braces or orthotics. When surgery is necessary, we use the latest techniques to ensure you’re getting the best care possible to get you back on your feet.”
Using the most advanced methods, Dr. Benoit is able to perform hip and knee reconstruction, minimal incision total hip replacement, and reconstructive surgery on the foot and ankle.
Take Care of Your Joints
Arthroscopic surgery encompasses a variety of joint procedures including hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, hands, elbow and wrist. Trained in the latest technology, Michael J. Murphy, MD, PC, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon on staff at Cape Cod Hospital, is able to perform these minimally invasive procedures, which allow for a faster recovery.
“We make incisions about the width of your finger and insert pencil-sized instruments equipped with tiny cameras inside the joint to repair or correct the condition,” says Dr. Murphy.
“Post-operative recovery is facilitated by these minimally invasive procedures and the specially trained physical therapists at Cape Cod Hospital.” For more information about orthopedic services at Cape Cod Healthcare, call (877) CAPE COD.
