Endoscopic Spine Procedures

Endoscopic spine surgery allows LOG’s spine surgeons to treat common spine problems, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and scar tissue from previous surgeries, using small instruments and a camera. This minimally invasive approach provides precise treatment and faster recovery.

Augmented Reality Technology

LOG’s spine surgeons also use augmented reality technology to make spine surgery safer and more accurate. This technology enhances the view of a patient’s anatomy and helps ensure the most precise placement of implants.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

While surgical knowledge and skill still remain most important, robotic technology gives surgeons enhanced control and precision, especially for complex joint replacements. Artificial intelligence helps tailor treatment plans, while computer navigation delivers real-time guidance to improve implant placement and reduce complications.

Smart Implants

LOG offers implants with built-in sensors that monitor joint function, alignment and healing—providing real time data to surgeons and a smoother recovery for patients.

Shoulder Surgery

The Latarjet procedure treats recurrent shoulder dislocations caused by bone loss. Surgeons transfer a portion of bone from the shoulder blade to the front of the shoulder socket to restore stability and prevent further dislocation.

ACL Repair

The Bridge-Enhanced anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Repair (BEAR) procedure is a Food and Drug Administration-approved technique for treating a torn ACL. It uses a bio-engineered implant plus the patient’s own blood to help the ACL heal—rather than replacing it with a graft from another part of the body.

Cartilage Implant

The Cartilage Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI) procedure uses a patient’s own cartilage cells to repair damaged areas in the knee. Surgeons collect a cartilage biopsy, which is sent to a lab to grow millions of new cartilage cells. These cells are then implanted into the knee to form new, durable cartilage.

Total Ankle Replacement

Total ankle replacement surgery, also called total ankle arthroplasty, involves replacing a damaged or arthritic ankle joint with an artificial one. Arthritis in the ankle can be caused by normal age-related wear and tear or an injury such as a fracture or dislocation.

LOG Surgery Center

More orthopedic procedures are moving from the hospital to an outpatient center, minimizing risks and allowing you to return home the same day. The LOG Surgery Center offers the latest advances in minimally invasive surgery and anesthesia in a safe, comfortable setting.

Physical Therapy

Surgery repairs a mechanical problem, but recovery depends on physical rehabilitation. LOG’s physical therapy team works closely with surgeons to design individualized treatment plans that support each patient’s unique needs and goals to ensure optimum recovery. Physical therapy is often the first, and sometimes only, line of treatment for many orthopedic conditions.
