Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Shoulder joint replacement surgery is often performed to treat severe conditions, including avascular necrosis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and various forms of advanced arthritis, such as posttraumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Shoulder replacement can serve to return strength and function to the joint, offering patients a solution to chronic pain when nonsurgical treatments no longer provide relief.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Emergency Care
Our offices will be closed for the following holidays. If you have a medical emergency and need to be seen immediately, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Whether you're experiencing minor wrist pain due to a sprain or a chronic condition, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, the impairment to your wrist can turn small challenges into big setbacks. Pain and swelling in the wrist can stem from many different factors, including conditions that involve the tendon, the nerve, or the bone. Thankfully, wrist specialists can provide you with relief. There are many common wrist conditions and injuries, such as...

MRI
“[My son and I] literally went from going to school that morning and thinking it was just growing pains to being sent that afternoon to our local hospital to have an MRI because it looked like cancer... Dr. Wallace was very compassionate. You could tell both Dr. Wallace and her physician assistant, Christy Rose, were concerned about this 12-year-old child who was having to go through this. [Now] he’s doing great. He’s growing... Other than his incision, you would never know he had anything wrong with him.”
X-Rays

Arthroscopy
When you make an appointment to see one of our orthopaedic shoulder specialists, the first step will be a thorough physical evaluation. This may involve imaging, such as X-rays, as well as arthroscopy, which allows the doctor to see directly inside your shoulder joint.
Wound Care
Serious orthopaedic fractures and injuries often require both immediate and follow-up care. Fracture care and reconstruction includes preoperative evaluations, diagnostic testing, patient education and counseling, surgical repair, wound care, and the application and removal of casts and splints. Our trauma doctors treat many common traumatic injuries, such as...
Ankle Surgery
“I am very pleased with the services I got from OrthoTennessee. I had my ORIF ankle surgery in November 2018, and I started PT in January 2019. I’ve had appointments with physiotherapists Lea Lyle, PT, and John to date. I would like to highly recommend both of them to any patient. I found Lea very compassionate. She has an exceptionally caring and enthusiastic approach to deal with patients that any patient will find very helpful. Within the first three sessions with Lea, I was able to get rid of the air cast. I still remember my joy of that day.
Joint Replacement
At University Orthopaedic Surgeons, we are committed to providing the joint replacement care patients need to excel. We proudly serve our communities in Knoxville, Sevierville, and the surrounding areas with specialized and compassionate care from our highly trained and skilled doctors, surgeons, and staff.
Cyst Removal
Our West Knoxville office has state-of-the-art in-office hand procedure rooms where Dr. Harris performs in-office finger cyst removal and trigger finger release.
Hand Surgery
For more extreme injuries, hand surgery may be recommended. Surgery on your hand can alleviate any wrist pain or hand discomfort. Different kinds of hand and wrist surgeries are available, so discussing your surgical options with your surgeon will give you a sense of which hand surgery you need and what each type of surgery entails.
Bunions
Arthroscopy
While taking care of complex trauma cases involving the pelvis and hip joint, he has taken a special interest in the treatment of hip disorders—preservation, reconstruction, and replacement. Dr. Oros has dedicated a segment of his practice towards the care of hip pain in the younger population using hip arthroscopy. Conditions such as labral tears, snapping hip disorders, and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can be dealt with using this procedure. Please use the following button or access the online resources linked below to find out more about hip arthroscopy and the problems that can be treated with this procedure—and if it is right for you or someone you know.
Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is recommended for patients with various forms of severe arthritis. The procedure involves the removal of damaged tissues in the hip joint and the placement of artificial joint components that move and function naturally to reduce a patient's pain when standing, walking, or resting.
Knee Replacement
Any kind of joint pain, even when it's relatively minor, can be a major impediment to a patient's daily activities. That's certainly true of the knee. Any level of pain, swelling, or discomfort in your knee can limit your mobility and make it extremely difficult to carry out simple tasks at home or around the office. However, there are a wide variety of treatment options available for those living with knee pain, ranging from simple ice or heat therapy and injections to total knee replacement surgery.
Knee Arthroscopy
When you have an appointment with a specialty-trained knee doctor or surgeon, the first thing you should expect is a thorough physical examination, which will most likely include imaging scans. Your doctor may recommend a knee arthroscopy, a procedure in which he or she can look inside the joint with the help of a small camera, or arthroscope, to determine the cause of your knee pain.
Reconstructive Surgery
A woodworker at heart, Dr. McCollum enjoys the mechanical aspect that carries over to his daily work in orthopaedics. For his young children, he personally constructed a playset rather than purchasing a kit with instructions, and this same passion for construction and precision carries over to his approach to reconstructive surgery. He enjoys the different challenges that each day brings and being able to contribute to the overall well-being of his patients while helping them move on with an improved quality of life following an episode of care.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
In sports medicine, the athlete is at the center. Their performance goals and return to play are primary factors in the care methods their sports medicine doctor will offer. For mountain bikers, finding the right sports medicine doctor is the key to a successful recovery after an injury.
Physical Therapy
Some hip conditions, including hip arthritis, can be treated effectively through physical therapy, exercise programs, medications, or a combination of these approaches. These nonsurgical treatments are usually recommended first, but if they do not prove effective, orthopaedic surgery could be necessary for you to be healthy and pain-free again.
Occupational Therapy
“I have used physical/occupational therapy with left and right total knee replacements and left and right rotator cuff surgeries, and no matter which therapist I had working with me, they were always friendly, courteous, and professional. In my opinion, there can be no better in their field around Tennessee, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone. I was well enough to leave in half the time it would have taken anywhere else.”
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
When you meet with one of our specialty-trained elbow doctors, the specialist will first conduct a thorough physical evaluation to accurately diagnose your injury, like tennis elbow or a fracture, or your chronic condition, such as arthritis. This evaluation may involve X-rays or other forms of imaging. From there, your doctor will recommend a treatment approach that meets your needs, which may or may not include surgery.
Shoulder Pain
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain

Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprain
Pain in your ankle can make it challenging just to get up on your feet, much less carry out your everyday responsibilities. Ankle pain can stem from many different factors, not the least of which is a sports-related injury. The good news is that with the proper treatment and care, even a serious ankle injury can be remedied. The first step toward lasting relief is seeing an ankle specialist, who can diagnose and evaluate your pain and recommend a treatment plan.
