Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery allows treatment of musculoskeletal conditions through small incisions, reducing tissue damage and speeding up patient recovery.

  • Less postoperative pain
  • Faster recovery
  • Smaller, more aesthetic scars

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when one of the spinal discs shifts and presses on nearby nerves, causing pain and limiting movement. It is one of the most common causes of lower back and neck pain.

  • Lower back or neck pain
  • Pain radiating to arms or legs
  • Tingling or muscle weakness

Early diagnosis can prevent complications and improve your quality of life.

Knee and Hip Replacement

Knee and hip replacements are surgeries that replace the damaged joint with high-strength metal, ceramic and polyethylene components. They are recommended when advanced osteoarthritis, a hip fracture or necrosis of the femoral head causes constant pain and limits mobility.

  • Persistent pain in the knee, hip or groin when walking or climbing stairs
  • Stiffness, limping or difficulty putting on socks and shoes
  • Swelling or deformity of the knee
  • Little improvement with medication, injections or therapy

A timely evaluation helps choose the best moment to regain your mobility and walk without pain again.

Shoulder and Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small camera and fine instruments through very small incisions to diagnose and treat injuries inside the joint, such as those of the shoulder and knee.

  • Pain, swelling or locking in the shoulder or knee
  • Meniscus, ligament or rotator cuff injuries
  • Small incisions and faster recovery

A timely evaluation allows the injury to be treated before it worsens so you can return to your activities.

Sciatica / Sciatic Nerve

Sciatica is pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. It usually starts in the lower back and may radiate down the leg.

  • Lower back pain radiating to buttock and leg
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Weakness when walking or moving the leg

Early treatment can relieve pain and prevent complications.

Words from Our Patients

"

Dr. Hans is one of the most caring, professional and dedicated doctors I have ever met. He goes above and beyond what is expected of any doctor. We came from Canada just to be treated by Dr. Hans and it was the best decision we ever made. He has been following up with us months after the surgery and is available at any time whenever we have questions. He was able to diagnose issues that were missed by many doctors in Canada. He is outstanding at what he does and I would highly recommend Dr. Hans to anyone.

I had surgery with Dr. Hans Ruiz to repair my displaced clavicle fracture yesterday. I am so happy I chose him and his team! From the attentiveness of his coordinator to the excellent treatment he and his surgical team provided me was the best! They reassured me every step of the way, were professional and very through. I traveled from the US & had consulted with other Orthopedic Surgeons, I could not be happier with the decision of having Dr. Hans take care of me and preform my surgery. Highly recommend!!

19 days ago Dr.Hans replaced my left knee. I have been walking without assistance for 15 days. It was the best decision I made. I travelled to him from Phoenix AZ. The surgical center is 1st class. I spent one night at the center and then 2 at a recovery hotel. I highly recommend him and his expertise. My right knee eventually will need replacement. I will 100% use him again.
