Adhesive Capsulitis Shoulder near Plantation, FL

Biography: Dr. Roby Abraham is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon, fellowship trained in adult hip and knee reconstruction. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at SUNY Downstate in New York and his advanced training in adult hip and knee reconstruction at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, Florida. Dr. Abraham went to medical school at the prestigious Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education, BS/MD 7-year program. The program has a core initiative in preventative care, which is synonymous with Dr. Abraham's goal of providing mutli-disciplinary approaches for hip and knee arthritis starting with collaborations with primary care physicians.Dr. Abraham's clinical expertise involves hip and knee arthritis, failed/painful hip and knee replacements, sports related injuries, and fractured bones. Dr. Abraham believes in providing an individualized approach to each patient's condition, considering their social factors, current disabilities and expected outcomes. Treatment without surgery is the first option for most conditions. After appropriate nonoperative treatment a wide variety of operative interventions are offered for each condition. These procedures are explained in detail with the patient and their family as active participants in the discussion.Coactive patient education, where the patient takes ownership of their health and the information given to them is another aspect of Dr. Abraham's practice that he believes improves outcomes. Fostering an environment where patients have direct access to information on their condition and surgeries result in patient's knowing how to manage and cope with their surgical or nonsurgical treatments. Furthermore, this information is presented in ways that patients can easily access whether it is by computer, translators or mobile devices.Technology and research are important tools that not only benefit patient education but can also be used to diminish complications and inefficiency. The areas where Dr. Abraham has a passion in further researching are: DVT/PE protocols, infection prevention, epidural anesthesia program/Postop pain control/icing program, PT and social work video conference meetings with patients to streamline postop patient disposition including Home PT, DME supplies.Dr. Abraham uses robotic assistance for his primary knee and hip replacements as it augments and objectifies intraoperative goals and parameters. With robotic surgery, Dr. Abraham can verify and check the appropriate position of implants and precision of cuts to within a millimeter. Limb alignment, implant position, and soft tissue balancing are important parameters that are now measurable intraoperatively through robotic surgery.

Biography: Dr. Ashish Sahai is a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. Drawing on his biomedical engineering training as well as his medical experience from Stanford University, Dr. Sahai holds several patents for spinal implants and also is a consultant with several spine surgery device companies to design new techniques and implants. With his experience he teaches other surgeons, both nationally and internationally, and works closely with area hospitals, handling everything from the routine to highly complex spinal surgery cases. The Spine and Orthopedic Center was founded by Dr. Sahai with the intention of combining cutting edge technology with multidisciplinary specialty physicians to supply patients with a comprehensive center that provides the very best outcomes. Dr. Sahai's mission is to provide superior quality care, personalized service, and education to his patients so they can confidently make informed decisions about their treatment plan and lifelong wellness. SOC is fully equipped for diagnosing and treating severely debilitating spinal problems, including a high-field MRI, digital X-ray and fluoro technology, a state accredited sedation procedure suite, and an onsite CLIA & COLA accredited laboratory. This allows Dr. Sahai and his team to successfully handle almost any type of spinal condition and treat it accordingly. Due to the sedation being offered in the office, procedures such as kyphoplasty (cement) for compression fractures, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for neck and back pain as well as epidurals can now be performed on a comfortable, immediate and outpatient basis. Dr. Sahai specializes in minimally-invasive spine surgery -- a less invasive way to approach spine surgery with less blood loss, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery times. Given his extensive experience, he also handles significant cervical related issues from non-operative care to motion-preservation neck surgery and complex cervical reconstructions. Also because he is a staff surgeon at local trauma centers, he handles spine trauma, revision spine surgery, tumor-related spinal conditions and scoliosis surgery.

Care Philosophy: To contribute to the field of orthopaedic surgery through clinical and surgical application, and to aid in the relief of suffering through the use of both surgical and non-surgical techniques, and preventive measures.
