Birmingham
Hip Resurfacing Procedure Offered
SOS is please to announce that Surgical Specialists, Dr. Stephen
Bogosian, Dr. Michael Clarke, Dr. Brett Greenky, Dr. Seth Greenky,
Dr. John Parker and Dr. I Michael Vella are all specially trained
in the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Procedure. Unlike traditional
hip replacement surgery, resurfacing does not remove as much
of your leg bone. Instead, the process simply machines away
the rough damaged surface of the hip joint bones and replaces
them with more durable high carbide cobalt chrome. For more
information on Birmingham Hip Resurfacing please refer to the
link provided or call our office at 251-3100.
Research
Coordinator Hired
As Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists increases the number of physician
partners and expands the scope of the procedures and sub specialties
that it offers and covers, we feel that our group lends itself
to a strong commitment to clinical Research. To the physicians
at SOS, clinical research extends our commitment to delivering
the highest quality, State of the art treatments and procedures
to the population of Central New York.
Our surgeons are recognized nationally within their fields of
expertise and are committed to providing a research forum to
test new techniques and technology. With the research comes
measurements and quality enhancement. SOS is committed to being
able to quantify and qualify the level of care that we deliver
and will share this with our patients.
We have recently hired Pearl Tong Ngork as the Clinical Research
Coordinator. Pearl has solid experience and background in the
research field. We are confident she will elevate the amount
and level of the research activities here at SOS.
