Labor and Delivery
In other cases, this is a result of the child birthing process. During childbirth, the sacroiliac joints must stretch to accommodate the birthing process. In some cases, the sacroiliac joints do not return to normal position. This abnormal position creates additional stress on the joints and can accelerate the degenerative process.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The Carpal Tunnel is composed of a narrow passage that begins on the palm side of the wrist and extends up the arm. This tunnel serves to protect the main nerve to the hand and the nine tendons that allow for the bending of the fingers. When this nerve becomes compressed the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may arise.

Sciatica
The onset of spinal stenosis is most often a result of the aging process and may begin naturally to those in their 40’s and 50’s. However, Spinal Stenosis may have an early onset as a result of certain genetic conditions, trauma or arthritic conditions. Spinal Stenosis can occur in both the cervical (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back) but is more common in the lumbar spine. Lumbar spinal stenosis is often an underlying cause of what is known as Sciatica.
Whiplash
Arthroscopy
Dr. Ropiak took his subspecialty interest in the treatment of sports-related injuries and completed a fellowship in sports orthopaedic surgery at the distinguished Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. While there, he assisted in the game, office, and surgical care of many professional athletic teams including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, and Los Angeles Sparks. He also assisted in the care of the athletic teams at the University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University. Working among pioneers and leaders in the field of sports medicine, Dr. Ropiak has been trained in cutting-edge arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee.

Orthopedic Surgery
1966 was the year that Dr. Morton Farber opened his orthopedic surgery practice in Elizabeth, NJ. He provided high-quality orthopedic care along with a genuine neighborly concern for patients’ well being. Dr. Walter Pedowitz became his partner in 1978. Meanwhile, Dr. John Kline had begun his orthopedic practice in Linden, NJ in 1977. In 1981, these two practices were combined to create a premier orthopedic practice with comprehensive capabilities.
Arthroscopy
Cordasco FA, Charlton TP, Rojer DE: Endoscopic ACL Reconstruction: Quadrupled Hamstring Tendon Versus Patellar Tendon Autograft. Presented: International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine; Washington DC, May 1999
Hip Replacement
Dr. Ghobrial took a special interest in hip and knee reconstruction. After residency he completed additional training in a fellowship in hip and knee replacements/revisions at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. While there, he underwent advanced training in hip and knee reconstruction including Minimally Invasive Direct Anterior Hip Replacement under the direction of distinguished surgeon Dr. Marc Hungerford. The minimally invasive technique allows patients to have their hips replaced with a smaller incision, shorter recovery time, and often gets patients back to their normal routines faster. His fellowship provided him with a broad experience to not only surgical treatments but also non-operative treatment modalities including therapy, injections, and medications.
Knee Replacement
“I had a knee-replacement done 16 weeks ago. Doctor Rojer is my doctor. I am very pleased with my recovery. It feels great to walk pain free again after surgery. When it's time to do the other knee I will definitely have Doctor Rojer do it. In my opinion, he did a great job. Thank you Doctor Rojer.”

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Many of us, especially athletes, will have elbow pain at some point in our lives. Even though it is a stable joint, we use it constantly throughout the day for tasks as simple as typing at a desktop. Sports injuries are also common when it comes to our elbows, especially for tennis players, pitchers, weightlifters, and other athletes who overuse their arm while training. Union County Orthopaedic Group helps people get back to the activities they love, whether it be lifting their children or serving a tennis ball, without elbow pain.
Physical Therapy
Union County Orthopaedic Group provides the most comprehensive spine care by our top-rated back, neck, and spine specialists. Our physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians approach back and neck treatment through conservative, non-surgical means, such as physical therapy and interventional pain management. Each of our board-certified experts have years of experience in pinpointing spinal issues and providing relief for both acute and chronic pain. At Union County Orthopaedic Group, patients who have had ongoing back and neck pain find the knowledge and guidance needed to regain a pain free lifestyle and overall wellness. Nathaniel Sutain, MD and Naomi Betesh, DO, help patients manage back and neck issues with conservative, interventional pain management techniques, which relieve painful and disruptive symptoms of spinal conditions, without using oral medications that could have adverse side effects.
Frozen Shoulder
Shoulder injuries are extremely common and are arguably the most frustrating of injuries to overcome. At Union County Orthopaedic Group, a Division of OrthoNJ, we understand just how difficult it can be to deal with severe or ongoing shoulder issues. When it comes to a joint as complex and important as the shoulder, athletes trust Union County Orthopaedic Group, a Division of OrthoNJ, to provide them with top quality orthopedic care. Our orthopedic surgeons specialize in the shoulder joint and guide patients through every type of injury, from a sudden sports injury like a rotator cuff tear, to long lasting and complicated issues like a frozen shoulder. Guiding our patients through the process of healing their shoulder and regaining the lifestyle they’re used to is our main mission. Richard P. Mackessy, MD, Christopher Ropiak, MD, Mina Abdelshahed, MD, and Peter Goljan, MD, are all top-rated shoulder surgeons and are known for their knowledgeable expertise by referring physicians, as well as the many shoulder patients who have been treated at Union County Orthopaedic Group, a Division of OrthoNJ,.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis Elbow is a term commonly used to describe a pain in the elbow brought on by repetitive strain of the tendons of the elbow. This condition is brought on by repeated contraction of the muscles in the forearm that are used to raise and extend the arm. These motions can stress the tissue of the arms causing micro tears in the tendons attached to muscles of the and outside of the elbow.
Slipped Disc
It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing neck pain as this is often a symptom of a more severe condition such as a herniated disc or slipped disc.
Shoulder Pain

General Podiatry
Our division’s team is made up physicians that are all board-certified or board-qualified in either orthopedic surgery, physical medicine & rehabilitation, pain management, or podiatry. The entire team continues to follow the same practice philosophy set forth by Dr. Farber over four decades ago: put the patient first by providing honest, focused and compassionate care.
