Recover Like a Professional Athlete

We employ anatomically correct repair techniques with proven increases in healing rates for patients and specialize in the treatment of complex shoulder problems, including patients who have had failed prior surgery. Orthopedic surgeons throughout the country utilize Dr. Tauro's innovative techniques.

A hip replacement involves removing the diseased surface of the ball and socket of the hip and replacing it with an artificial lining. In the vast majority of our hip replacement procedures, we utilize an anterior approach where no muscles are cut, resulting in a quicker, easier, and safer recovery than traditional muscle cutting and splitting approaches.

Dr. Tauro utilizes the latest techniques for ACL, meniscal and joint surface injuries including stem cell augmentation and the use of quadraceps tendon for ACL reconstruction. For knee replacement surgery we use computer assisted custom 3D printed patient matched instrumentation to improve accuracy and to reduce incision size and surgical time.

Joint Preservation means preventing joint deterioration and arthritis, thus reducing the chance you will need a joint replacement. It involves both non-surgical and surgical techniques including biologic solutions such as PRP and stem cell therapies.

At Ocean County Sports Medicine, we specialize in treating various foot and ankle conditions such as ankle sprains, joint surface injuries and fractures.

Cartilage and meniscus transplantation is a way for us to prevent or delay the need for future joint replacement. For cartilage transplantation, we use the patients own cartilage from an unneeded area of the knee, carefully selected fresh donor cartilage, or the patients own cartilage regrown on a collagen matrix (the "MACI" procedure).

Dr. Tauro treats a range of injuries including sprains and fractures. We work closely with coaches and trainers to prevent serios injuries. We have extensive experience treating elbow UCL ("Tommy John") injuries in throwers.
