As an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, Peter Mulhern has enjoyed the opportunity to diagnose, treat and care for a variety of patients over his career. In the field for more than 30 years, Dr. Mulhern has not only seen and treated numerous patients, but has come across many different orthopaedic conditions; many of which have required surgery to help correct and/or restore movement while reducing patient pain.
A seasoned veteran of orthopaedic medicine, Peter Mulhern has diagnosed and treated some conditions and injuries far more than others. Some of the more common orthopaedic injuries include:
Sprained Joints
Orthopaedic professionals tend to see any number of sprained knees, ankles, hips, shoulders, elbows and so on over the course of a given year. Such injuries typically occur as the result of overuse and/or repetition, and are most common for those who engage in a high level of jumping, running or rotating activities.
Ligament Tears
One of the more common ligament injuries is the ACL tear, which can adversely affect the knee’s range of motion and stability. Such tears most commonly occur in patients who perform quick turns, abrupt stops or unpredictable leg motion on a regular basis.
Rotator Cuff Tears
Rotator Cuff Tears involve tendon damage in the uppermost part of the arm. Such damage can lead to severe pain, stiffness and immobility.
