    Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Campbell Clinic is proud to be the only provider in the Greater Memphis area offering ultra minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery. Performed by specialists, this advanced procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to treat spinal conditions with less pain, lower risks, and a faster return to daily activities.

    What is Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

    Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery is an advancement of Minimally Invasive Surgery. It uses endoscopic tools to create even smaller incisions, often resulting in less overall tissue damage. Through a single 8mm incision, a scope and instruments can be inserted to complete a spine surgery. These tools allow surgeons get a clear view of the surgical site and address spine problems without a large incision.

    This procedure is easier on the body than traditional open surgery. As a result, recovery times improve, and the risk of infection decreases.

    Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery is an outpatient procedure, and doctors often release patients within a few hours of treatment. This procedure is done at our mid-south surgery center located in Germantown on Wolf River Blvd.

    Who Needs Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

    Patients suffering from a variety of spinal conditions can benefit from this surgery. The most common conditions suitable for this treatment are:

    This surgery is also effective in managing the pain associated with conditions like herniated discs. Injuries can cause the gel inside a disc to leak, which puts pressure on the nerves and leads to moderate to severe pain. Doctors can use Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery to relive this pressure by removing herniated or damaged discs. This is a particularly beneficial option for those who have tried conventional treatments like physical therapy and injections without successful outcomes. It is often an option to avoid spine fusion procedures.

    Our fellowship-trained spine specialist, Dr. Chad E. Campion, is an expert in ultra minimally invasive spine surgery. Using the most advanced surgical techniques, he helps patients find relief with less pain and faster recovery times. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Campion to explore how this innovative procedure can improve your quality of life.

    Hand Fractures: Symptoms & Treatment Options

    Our hands are incredibly important to everyday life. Activities as simple as picking up a pencil, driving a car, or holding a bag of groceries are all made possible by the complex network of bones, muscles, and tendons that work together in the hand and wrist.

    Because we use our hands so often for many different daily tasks, they become susceptible to breaks. It’s important to consult a trained orthopaedic provider when injuries occur.

    Fractures are when a bone breaks. Sometimes a fracture is called a broken bone. The words can be used interchangeably.

    Types of Hand Fractures

    The hand is made up of three types of bones: phalanges (in the fingers), metacarpal bones (in the middle hand and palm), and the carpel bones (in the wrist). Each of these are important for movement and strength of the hand. Several types of fractures can occur in these bones:

    Signs & Symptoms of a Fractured Hand

    Hand fracture symptoms may include:

    If you have an injury, schedule an appointment with a hand provider. They will start with getting X-rays, which show us the bones.

    The physical exam is an important part of the evaluation because sometimes an injury can involve the ligaments or muscles which are not visible on X-ray. On occasion, further imaging needs to be done to look at the tendons and ligaments, and an MRI is ordered. CT scans can also be done to further look at a significantly broken bone.

    With high energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents or high-impact falls, the bone may break and poke through the skin.

    Open compound fractures, where bone pierces through the skin, require immediate treatment for both the fracture and possible infection. If you believe you have an open compound fracture, please visit an emergency room.

    Treatment and Healing

    After the provider reviews the X-rays and does a physical exam, treatment options will be discussed. Bones on average takes about 6 weeks to heal. To ensure proper healing, many broken bones are immobilized in either casts or splints. After immobilization, patients often have stiffness, and physical therapy can help regain range of motion and strengthening.

    Sometimes broken bones need surgery to put the bone in a better position. Your provider will talk with you about the options after a full evaluation.

    Casts

    Casts and splints are often used to treat mild stable breaks. Casts are custom fit to your body to immobilize the break and support the bones as they heal. Immobilizing the break also helps reduce pain. Patients typically wear a cast for 3-6 weeks of recovery time.

    Physical Therapy

    Immobilization for several weeks can cause muscles in the hand to atrophy while bones heal. After a cast is removed, physical therapy is important for restoring stability, preventing complications, and managing pain.

    Physical therapists will often prescribe a personalized series of exercises for patients to complete over several weeks. These movements often include weight bearing exercises and resistance training, which helps patients regain mobility and strength in the hand.

    Surgery

    For severe breaks that result in instability or displacement, surgery to insert metal pins, plates or screws may be necessary to set the bones. Ensuring they are in proper alignment during healing is vital to a healthy recovery.

    Patients should seek immediate care if they suspect they are suffering from a broken hand, wrist, or finger. If left untreated, the fracture may not heal properly and cause limited function or physical deformity indefinitely.

    After Hours Urgent Care vs. Emergency Room

    Campbell Clinic offers specialized orthopaedic care at all of our nine locations from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. We have specialists on-site that can treat a wide range of breaks, sprains, strains and more. However, acute orthopaedic injuries don’t make appointments, and they rarely wait to happen during regular business hours.

    That’s why Campbell Clinic offers After Hours Urgent Care at our Germantown and Southaven locations, Monday – Thursday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Germantown clinic is also open from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

    What is the difference between an orthopaedic urgent care and an emergency room?

    An orthopaedic urgent care focuses on providing care for minor to mild musculoskeletal injuries. People should go to urgent care centers when an injury is not serious enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room, but it still needs care from a doctor within 24 hours. Orthopaedic urgent care centers are generally walk-in clinics, and patients do not have to make appointments to receive care.

    An emergency room is a designated area of a hospital that is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They treat acute, life-threatening injuries and illnesses. While patients can schedule appointments to receive care at an emergency room, they can also be seen without one.

    Deciding between the orthopaedic urgent care and the emergency room

    A variety of factors will influence your decision for which care center is best for your injury. Considering the type and severity of an injury and a facility’s hours of operation are important when deciding between visiting an urgent care and an emergency room.

    Orthopaedic Urgent Care

    If your injury is painful, but ultimately not life or limb-threatening, an orthopaedic urgent care walk-in clinic can provide accessible treatment without a trip to the ER. Common injuries treated by the Campbell Clinic Urgent Care includes:

    Emergency Room

    Emergency rooms treat life-threatening conditions that require immediate care from a doctor. Some common reasons to seek emergency care include:

    For life-threatening conditions, call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room immediately. Do not drive yourself if you are experiencing chest pains, signs of possible stroke or heart attack, or having difficulty breathing.

    Concussions

    Concussions are mild traumatic brain injuries that often occur after a severe impact to the head. They can also occur after an injury that causes your head and brain to quickly shake back and forth.

    Signs of a concussion may include:

    Every concussion is different, and symptoms can vary from injury to injury. Some symptoms may not develop immediately. As soon as you believe you have concussion symptoms, it is important to see a doctor. We suggest having a friend or family member drive you so they can ask questions and remember specific instructions your symptoms could cause you to miss.

    We do not evaluate nor treat for Concussions in our Urgent Care or After-Hours Clinics. If you believe that you are experiencing concussion symptoms, seek care at a hospital emergency room.
