Orthopedic Surgery in Torrance, CA

Advanced Joint and Bone Treatments at Ocean Surgery Center

Orthopedic surgery treats joint, bone, and ligament problems that interfere with everyday life. At Ocean Surgery Center in Torrance, CA, our experienced surgeons perform procedures that reduce pain, restore movement, and improve function.

We specialize in outpatient procedures like joint replacement, knee arthroscopy, and shoulder surgery, helping patients move safely and regain independence.

What Is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgery treats conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

These body parts allow you to sit, stand, move, and stay balanced. When injured or degenerated, they can cause pain and limit your ability to function. Surgery may be done to repair damage, stabilize joints, or replace severely worn structures.

Common areas for orthopedic surgery include the shoulder, knee, hip, hand, foot, and spine.

What Conditions Does Orthopedic Surgery Treat?

Orthopedic procedures are used to treat the following:

• Joint pain
• Muscle or ligament tears
• Bone fractures and stress injuries
• Shoulder dislocations
• Arthritis
• Cartilage damage
• Nerve and tendon compression (e.g., carpal tunnel)

If your pain interferes with normal movement and does not improve with non-surgical treatment, surgery may be considered.

What Happens Before and During Surgery

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic surgeon. During this consultation, we’ll review your medical history, examine the affected area, and analyze any imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs. Your surgeon will then explain your surgical options and create a personalized treatment plan.

On surgery day, you’ll arrive at our Torrance, CA facility, where our team will prepare you for the procedure. This includes administering appropriate anesthesia – either local or general, depending on your surgery. Your surgeon will then perform the necessary repairs through small incisions when possible. This might involve placing surgical screws, repairing torn tissue, or installing medical implants. Most patients return home the same day, equipped with detailed recovery instructions.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery timelines vary significantly based on your specific procedure. Arthroscopic surgeries typically need two to six weeks of healing, while joint replacements may require three to six months for full recovery.

During this time, you’ll follow a structured rehabilitation plan that includes physical therapy, pain management, and gradually increasing activity levels. We will monitor your progress through regular follow-up appointments and adjust your care plan.

Benefits of Orthopedic Surgery

Surgery can:

• Lower or eliminate joint pain
• Increase your range of motion
• Repair unstable or damaged joints
• Help you return to daily activities
• Reduce the need for pain medication

These outcomes help patients maintain independence and improve long-term health.

Cost of Orthopedic Surgery

The cost varies depending on the procedure, insurance coverage, and medical needs. Ocean Surgery Center accepts most major insurance plans. Before your surgery, our team will review your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
