Dr. Vonda Wright, MD, MS, Orthopedic Sports surgeon & president of Hughston Orthopaedics Southeast, partnered with UCF Lake Nona Hospital to bring a new arthroscopic technology to Central Florida. Nanotechnology allows patients the least invasive arthroscopic surgery currently available under local anesthesia while awake, without formal incisions, the need for post-operative narcotic pain control, and allows rapid recovery to normal.
Patients meeting the criteria for use of nanotechnology do not require formal incisions, as the needle-sized 1.9mm chip-on-tip scope is placed via “ports of entry” under local anesthesia while patients are comfortable and awake, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.
Hughston Clinic operates 25+ orthopedic clinics in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Indiana. Read more.
