It is not always easy to tell the difference between a jammed finger and a fracture. Persistent pain, deformity, or loss of motion are signs it may be more than a simple sprain.

When in doubt, an orthopedic evaluation can help determine the right next step.

Injuries from car accidents do not always show up right away. Delayed pain in the neck, back, shoulders, or joints is common. 🤕🚗

An orthopedic evaluation can identify injuries early and help prevent chronic pain or long term damage.

A torn rotator cuff does not always require surgery. Many patients improve with physical therapy that focuses on strength, flexibility, and shoulder mechanics. 💪

Treatment decisions depend on tear size, symptom duration, activity level, and whether weakness is getting worse. A personalized evaluation helps determine the right path forward.

Did you know? Orthopedics isn’t just about surgery.

In fact, many orthopedic treatments are non‑surgical and focus on helping the body heal naturally. From physical therapy and bracing to regenerative medicine, orthopaedic specialists often use conservative methods first before recommending surgery.

At Alexander Orthopaedics, our team is dedicated to finding the right approach for each patient, whether that means advanced surgical techniques or personalized non‑surgical care.

“After searching for a good hand surgeon, we were referred to Alexander Orthopaedic Associates, Dr. Penello in St. Petersburg.

Our first appointment was very pleasant, on time, and everybody was very professional. Dr. Penello is a very knowledgeable and gentle surgeon. The surgery itself was without a doubt the best experience ever. No ‘open hand’ surgery but the endoscopic surgery, minimally invasive procedure. After discharge, I had no pain at all. A small incision in the wrist was all it took.

Now, not even 2 weeks later, I have just a tiny scar left that will disappear. I was back to work the next day. All in all an awesome experience and I highly recommend this office and Dr. Penello.” – Agnes R.

Thank you, Agnes, for sharing your experience. We are proud to provide advanced, minimally invasive care that helps patients return to their lives quickly and comfortably. 👏
