At JOHN
S. ROGERSON, M.D., S.C. we provide state-of-the-art,
comprehensive orthopaedic care of the shoulder, hip
and knee. This care encompasses all of the non-operative
treatment modalities (such as exercise, nutritional
supplementation and physical therapy), minimally invasive
arthroscopic outpatient surgery, and major reconstructive and
joint replacement procedures.

In
addition to our clinical and surgical expertise, you’ll
appreciate how we treat you as a person – not as a
chart, a diagnosis, an enrollee or a market share. We care for
each patient as if he or she is a family member. First of all,
we listen. Then, after a thorough exam and
appropriate diagnostic studies, we make a diagnosis. We explain
all of the different treatment options and make knowledgeable
recommendations for your particular case. We attempt
non-operative treatment modalities first and proceed with
operative intervention only after all of the conservative
options have been exhausted.
With our
team approach, we are especially proud of our thorough patient
education before, during and after surgery – accomplished with
detailed written material, personal discussion and often a video
review of your arthroscopic procedure, if desired.
Dr.
Rogerson’s focus is on returning each patient to his or her
previous normal activity level, whether that be in a sporting
activity, work situation or just activities of daily living. He
employs the latest surgical advances, often accompanied with
earlier and more aggressive rehabilitation programs. This makes
it possible for each patient to return to his or her fullest
potential, faster. He has been one of the innovators in
arthroscopic surgery. These procedures, accomplished through
small puncture incisions, are less painful because less tissue
is disturbed during the surgery. They are akin to building a
ship inside a bottle using video game-like equipment.
He was
one of the region’s first orthopaedists to perform these
arthroscopic techniques in the shoulder and hip joints. Dr.
Rogerson is presently at the forefront of arthroscopic rotator
cuff repair and impingement and instability surgery in the
shoulder and hip labral and impingement surgery.
When a
patient’s joint is severely destroyed by trauma or arthritis,
Dr. Rogerson moves into reconstructive or replacement surgery.
His most recent passion is performing metal on metal
"resurfacing" and “big femoral head” arthroplasty of the hip.
With these surgeries, the team education and treatment approach
is especially helpful. Patients are sent to physical therapy to
learn their exercises and precautions well before their surgery,
thus allowing them to be confident and relaxed when surgery
approaches. Careful follow-up after surgery is the standard for
all of our patients.
