General Practitioners

Arthritis
Medical Weight Loss
Other treatment options for knee pain include physical therapy, weight loss, medications, and surgery. Hyaluronic acid injections are often used to delay or avoid surgery.
Pediatric Care
At Summit Orthopedic Specialists, no orthopedic problem is too complex or too simple for us to handle. We are known throughout the region as a leader in comprehensive, patient-centered orthopedic services, including cartilage restoration, joint replacement, pediatrics, sports medicine, and trauma.
Emergency Care
Once a patient is stabilized in the emergency room, orthopedic trauma specialists will need to take the reins, providing further needed surgeries or long-term follow-up care.
Electrocardiogram
Prior to scheduling the procedure, you will have your complete medical history reviewed, a physical examination completed (including X-rays), and will meet with a physical therapist to discuss the rehabilitation process after the surgery. Blood tests and EKG are taken before your surgery. The team at Summit Orthopedic Specialists is aware of these results being different for everyone. Should you find yourself in a situation requiring the expertise of one of our specialists, you are in good hands.

Ultrasound
Summit Orthopedic Specialists utilize ultrasound to guide therapeutic injections. At Summit Orthopedic Specialists we strive to provide the best diagnostic ultrasound Sacramento has to offer. Using real-time, high-resolution images, we can precisely target the injection to the injured area. Musculoskeletal ultrasound has many advantages, including live-action imaging, which shows movement, function, and anatomy and enables us to pinpoint the source of pain and treat it effectively without any radiation.
MRI
Using mi-eye, a fast, accurate diagnosis can be reached in the clinic or the office with minimal hassle. For an orthopedic clinic, this can be a great way to dramatically enhance the standards of care and treatment. At Summit Orthopedic Specialists we strive to provide the best mi-eye imaging Sacramento has to offer. The benefits of mi-eye can make it an essential technology in diagnosing joint problems without the aid of an MRI in the future. This might well become the new standard with time.
X-Rays

General Surgery
Dr. Cameto earned his medical degree from the University of California, Irvine, College of Medicine. He then completed a general surgery internship and orthopedic surgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Cameto subsequently completed an advanced fellowship at the Duchess of Kent Childrenâ€™s Orthopaedic Hospital in Hong Kong. Dr. Cameto is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.
Orthopedics
Among the state of the art treatments provided at Summit Orthopedics Specialists, one procedure that is showing great results is Lipogems injections, to treat joint pain.
Arthroscopy
Injuries such as a torn rotator cuff, shoulder impingement, or even arthritis can cause constant pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility. The idea of invasive surgery can be pretty intimidating. However, Shoulder Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for shoulder joint issues.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Sasaura is committed to providing his patients with excellence by focusing on personalized care, minimally invasive surgery, computer navigated, and robotic surgeries. The â€˜Thank You's' he receives from his patients are priceless and validates why he went into medicine.
Joint Replacement
Summit Orthopedic Specialists has recently incorporated VELYS Digital Surgery into its repertoire of surgical techniques. VELYS Digital Surgery is a cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the way joint replacement surgeries are performed. Dr. Sasaura is the Sacramento areaâ€™s foremost expert surgeon in the use of this incredible new tool for joint replacement. In this article, we will provide an overview of VELYS Digital Surgery and the benefits it offers. Additionally, we will address the question of who is a candidate for this procedure, and what the recovery and results look like.
Orthopedic Surgery
New technological advances in orthopedic surgery inspire him to provide the most cutting edge procedures for his patients and get them on the road to peak health and function. After receiving his medical degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Sasaura completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of California Davis Medical Center. During his residency, he also trained at the Shriners Hospital for Children. After his residency, Dr. Sasaura was awarded the Timothy Bray Award for Excellence in Orthopedic Trauma.
Neurosurgery
Some of the best Sacramento Orthopedic Trauma providers will collaborate with various experts in everything from plastic surgery, vascular surgery to neurosurgery to ensure their patients make a full, complete recovery.
Vascular Surgery
Robotic Surgery
It provides a quicker recovery by allowing for a smaller incision for doctors to replace damaged bone and cartilage. Robotic surgery has revolutionized this procedure, improving accuracy and thus increasing long-term function and success. Our teams at Summit Orthopedic Specialists can evaluate you for this alternative to protect your overall health as you age. This treatment can be an excellent option when other types of care, like assistive devices, fail to alleviate the pain and symptoms of the condition. Let our orthopedic specialists help get you moving again with a partial knee arthroplasty in Sacramento, CA.
Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy has been in practice for almost 50 years, allowing the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from surgery more straightforward and faster than anyone previously thought it could be.
Hip Replacement
If you feel pain in your hips during everyday activities, or experience delayed hip pain that lasts for days, or are kept up late into the night because of that throbbing pain, you may need to consider a hip replacement. At Summit Orthopedic Specialists we strive to provide the best hip replacements Sacramento has to offer. The team at Summit Orthopedic Specialists understands just how vital your hips are to your everyday lifestyle.
Knee Replacement
The process is relatively straightforward and not as intrusive as you might imagine when you first heard of it. Total knee replacement (or knee arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased knee joints, cutting away damaged bone and cartilage in the affected knee, followed by replacing these damaged structures with metal, plastic, or ceramic prostheses.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy (the latter being a term that, at its Greek origin, literally translates as â€œto look within the jointâ€ ) is a process that orthopedic surgeons use to
Reconstructive Surgery
Whether you need care for multiple joint injuries or even in cases where reconstructive surgery is required, it will come down to the team you choose to help you get back up on your feet to make sure you recover completely and swiftly. Summit Orthopedic Specialists want to make sure they deserve this role in your healing process â€“ we donâ€™t just want you to get back to your everyday life, but to be able to enjoy your lifestyle entirely.
