Educational Resources
The entire team at Associated Orthopedics believes that education is key in making patients feel comfortable and knowledgeable about their conditions and treatments. That’s why this section of our website is being provided to you.
The following sections include links to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons website where you will find information about a wide range of topics. Please note that some subjects are covered under just one location (for example, ankle fractures information is found in the Hip / Leg / Knee / Ankle / Foot section rather than the Fracture Care section) while others may be cross-referenced in multiple places.
Each section lists the topics alphabetically by article title, so you may need to scroll down a bit to find the specific information you’re looking for. Of course, we are always happy to answer your questions in our office. Simply click on the section you’re interested in and it will slide open to reveal the article links. Click on the link to go to the AAOS.org site and return to our site by closing the AAOS.org window.
