Specialties of Dr. Murphy
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
As an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Murphy uses both surgical and non-surgical means to treat
musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and
congenital conditions. Some conditions respond well to non-surgical treatments such as
exercise, therapy, medication, casts or splints, and orthotics. Surgical orthopedic options
may include knee and shoulder arthroscopy, ACL repair, knee replacement, hip
replacement, repair of bone fractures, disc repair, spinal fusion, and carpal tunnel release.
Osteoarthritis is the most common reason for joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is caused
by the wear and tear of aging. It causes the cartilage covering the joint surfaces to wear
out, resulting in pain and stiffness. Total joint replacement will be considered if other
treatment options will not relieve the pain and disability. In joint replacement surgery, Dr.
Murphy will remove the arthritic or damaged joint and replace it with an artificial joint,
called a prosthesis. This relieves pain and improves mobility.
TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT
Recent advances in total joint replacement surgery have enabled Dr. Murphy to begin performing the surgeries on an outpatient basis. For
qualified patients this can mean going home on the same day as the surgery, with reduced post- operative pain, increased range of motion and
overall improved outcome. Click here for more information.
In an arthroscopic examination, Dr. Murphy makes a small incision in the patient's
skin and then inserts instruments that magnify and illuminate the structures inside
the joint. This lets Dr. Murphy see the cartilage and ligaments to determine the
amount or type of injury and then repair or correct the problem, if necessary.
Candidates for arthroscopy include patients with chronic inflammation, tendon
tears, impingement syndrome, persistent pain, catching, giving way, loss of
confidence in the joint, and recurrent dislocations.
ARTHROSCOPY
TRAUMA, BROKEN BONES & FRACTURES
Dr. Murphy has expertise on the proper surgical or non-surgical treatment for each
trauma patient, with the goal of returning the patient to their pre-injury functional level.
As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Murphy is experienced in caring for any and all broken
bones, including the treatment of patients with multiple fractures, compound fractures,
and fractures near the joint.
Dr. Timothy Murphy specializes in direct anterior hip replacements by Stryker®. This minimally- invasive procedure allows for less pain and a
quicker recovery time. Click here for more information and to watch a video about the direct anterior approach for total hip replacements.
