What is Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine?: An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor specializing in the care of musculoskeletal ailments, particularly those in the body’s major joints.

Although surgery is not required in the treatment of all degenerative or injury-related joint pain, some patients experience the greatest pain relief and recovery of mobility after surgery. Surgeries are often performed arthroscopically with the use of micro-cameras and specialized surgical tools. Many procedures are minimally invasive outpatient procedures and do not require a hospital stay.
Dr. Hibbitts and his team offer full and partial joint replacements for the hip and knee, where they replace the damaged joint tissue with a prosthetic. The Center also performs repair surgeries for common ailments such as rotator cuff tears, knee instability, meniscal tears, bone fractures, and ligament tears.
As one of the few orthopedic surgeons in the Dallas area who provides cutting-edge InSpace balloon surgery for rotator cuff damage, Dr. Hibbitts aims to be the go-to expert in Central Texas for this type of minimally invasive treatment for rotator cuff arthritis. He also offers options for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, mini-open rotator cuff surgery, and fully open rotator cuff surgery.
