Frequently Asked Questions

Jason Provus MD is specialized in orthopedic surgery with extra fellowship training in orthopedic trauma surgery.  This includes treating injuries to the bones, joints, and soft tissues resulting from traumatic events such as accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Orthopedic trauma surgeons are experts in managing fractures, dislocations, and complex bone injuries. 

 You should see an orthopedic trauma surgeon if you have experienced a severe injury, such as a broken bone, dislocation, or damage to your muscles, tendons, or joints, especially if it requires specialized treatment for proper healing and function restoration. 

 We perform surgeries such as fracture repair, joint reconstructions, ligament and tendon repairs, bone grafts, and other procedures designed to restore function and mobility after trauma. 

 Not all fractures require surgery. Some can be treated with non-surgical methods like casting or splinting. However, complex fractures, misaligned bones, or injuries involving joints may require surgical intervention. 

 During your first consultation, we will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans or MRIs. We will then discuss the diagnosis, treatment options, and a plan for recovery. 

 Recovery time varies based on the severity of the injury, the type of surgery performed, and the individual’s overall health. Some patients may recover in weeks, while others may take several months to regain full mobility. 

 In most cases, physical therapy is recommended after surgery to restore strength, flexibility, and function. We will create a personalized rehabilitation plan to help you achieve the best recovery possible. 

 Pain management options may include prescription medications, ice therapy, and physical therapy. We will create a personalized pain management plan to help you through your recovery. 

 As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve damage, and complications from anesthesia. However, we take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a successful outcome. 

 We accept a wide range of insurance plans. Please contact our office to confirm coverage.
