Our section specializes in treating adult patients. As the only level 1 trauma center in Orange County, our faculty and trainees regularly see a wide variety of injuries of the bones, joints and muscles, in situations ranging from major injuries such as motor vehicle collisions, sports injuries, minor household injuries and work-related injuries, and include fractures, joint dislocations and muscle tears. Who We Are Our division is comprised of clinical faculty who are board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists subspecialized in the diagnosis, monitoring and minimally invasive treatment of orthopaedic diseases; subspecialty fellows in musculoskeletal radiology; resident physicians; and medical students. We work in close communication and consultation with many departments, including the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Department of Medicine, to help diagnose and guide patients toward healing and recovery. We also collaborate with medical researchers in musculoskeletal diseases. What We Offer A full range of services for the diagnosis of injuries and diseases of the joints, muscles, and bones of the extremities, pelvis and spine Expert knowledge of orthopedic oncology, sports injuries, infections and arthritis Minimally invasive image-guided precision biopsy procedures for the diagnosis of tumors of the muscles, bones and other soft tissues of the extremities Minimally invasive sampling for joint infections, and treatment of joint inflammation and pain Who We Treat Adults and young adults People seeking treatment for shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee, foot or ankle pain or instability People seeking treatment for back pain People seeking treatment for arthritis pain or monitoring arthritis treatment People who have been injured at work or playing sports People with joint replacements or other orthopedic hardware who are having pain People who have cancer of the muscle, bone, and other soft tissues State-of-the-art Imaging Technology 256-slice CT scanners and high-spatial resolution MRI scanners Specialized MRI imaging techniques for patients with joint replacements, as well as spinal and non-spinal metallic orthopaedic fixation hardware Image-guided joint aspirations for diagnosis and treatment planning of joint infections and arthritis Image-guided contrast injection into joints for specialized MR arthrography examinations CT and ultrasound-guided soft tissue and bone biopsies and aspirations Image-guided therapeutic joint injections for pain relief Disease & Imaging Expertise Within Our Specialty Diseases of the shoulder, including rotator cuff tears, tendinitis, frozen shoulder and labral tears, as well as other injuries and maladies of the shoulder Tendon and ligament injuries of the elbows, wrists and hands Labral tears and cartilage injuries in the hips Tendon and ligament injuries of the knees, ankles and feet Spine injuries Arthritis of the extremities and spine Monitoring of joint prosthesis and other orthopaedic hardware Assessment for osteoporosis-related bone fractures Fractures and joint dislocations Metabolic bone diseases Bone infarcts/necrosis Soft tissue and bone infections Non-cancerous lesions of the muscle and bone Image-guided precision placement of pain medicine and cushioning agents into the joints Image-guided contrast placement into joints for specialized CT and MRI assessment of joint derangement Image-guided minimally invasive biopsy of soft tissue and bone lesions Training Opportunities Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention Fellowship The Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention Fellowship is a comprehensive one-year program that provides a strong educational experience in all facets of diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal radiology. Explore Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship This one-year fellowship, offered in partnership with the VA Long Beach Medical Center, provides experience in image-guided interventional orthopaedic procedures, including arthrography, joint aspiration, soft tissue, and bone biopsy techniques and orthopaedic pain management procedures (fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided steroid and anesthetic injections).
