Orthopaedic Conditions Treated by Dr. Kellett

---

At Princeton Bone and Joint, Dr. Kellett and her team address a wide variety of sports-related injuries, including knee injuries, shoulder injuries, and even cartilage injuries, using both operative and nonoperative techniques. Many of our sports medicine procedures utilize arthroscopic techniques, which allow us to treat injuries of the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee in a minimally invasive manner. Our goal is always to collaborate closely with our patients to restore their function, alleviate pain—whether it's hip pain or hand pain—and help them return to the activities they love.

Common shoulder injuries that we see and manage in our office include partial and full-thickness rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability caused by labrum tears, biceps tendinitis, and impingement syndrome. These conditions can lead to shoulder pain, which may occur after an injury or develop gradually over time. In addition to shoulder issues, we also address other problems such as knee injuries, hip pain, and hand pain. Our office performs comprehensive exams and imaging studies to provide accurate diagnoses for various cartilage injuries and other related conditions. We are equipped to help alleviate your pain through physical therapy, injections, and surgery when indicated, all under the umbrella of sports medicine.

Knee pain can arise from an acute injury or even occur without any obvious trauma. In our sports medicine practice, we commonly manage various knee injuries, including meniscus tears, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, patellar dislocations, and maltracking problems. Additionally, we address related issues like cartilage injuries, as well as conditions involving hand pain, hip pain, and shoulder injuries.

Hip pain in athletes can arise from various conditions, particularly among endurance athletes. Common issues we address regarding hip pain include intraarticular hip pathologies, such as cartilage injuries like hip labrum tears, as well as extraarticular hip conditions including greater trochanteric bursitis, IT band tightness, and proximal hamstring injuries. Additionally, we also treat knee injuries and shoulder injuries that may impact overall athletic performance in sports medicine.

Dr. Kellett is an accredited provider of MACI implants for treating cartilage injuries, including those related to knee injuries. If you suspect you might be a candidate for this treatment or have been diagnosed with a cartilage injury in your knee, hip pain, shoulder injuries, or even hand pain, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kellett to discuss your individual case further, especially if you’re involved in sports medicine.

If you have concerns about hand pain, wrist pain, or hand numbness, especially if they may be related to cartilage injuries or other conditions like shoulder injuries, schedule a consultation for further evaluation and management. This is important for addressing not just hand issues, but also related problems like hip pain or knee injuries.

If you have been told you have a fracture, such as a distal radius fracture, clavicle fracture, ankle fracture, or a fracture of a bone in the hand or foot, you are welcome to come in for a consultation. We can further discuss whether your fracture, along with any associated hand pain or shoulder injuries, may require operative or non-operative management. Additionally, if you are experiencing hip pain or knee injuries, we specialize in sports medicine and can help address those concerns as well.

If you are experiencing issues such as hand pain, hip pain, or knee injuries, it may be time to seek surgical care. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Heather Kellett to discuss your options for treating cartilage injuries, shoulder injuries, and other conditions related to sports medicine.
