Worcester County Orthopedics - Philip J Lahey Jr MD

General Practitioners

Arthritis
The trend for hip replacement surgery is on the rise. The most commonreason for this surgery is arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic arthritis. Childhood hip diseases can cause problems with the surface of the hip structure later in life even whenthe condition was successfully treated earlier.
Emergency Care
Fractures can occur in all phases of life. Whether you are six years old and you fall off the monkey bars at the playground or you are eighty-six years old and slip and fall at home, fractures are never welcome and always a little frightening. When you break a bone, often you’re treated at the emergency room. Even if your injury isn’t life threatening, you will still need an appointment to be evaluated and treated. Simple fractures may only require an orthopedic cast or a brace and routine follow-up care. More serious orthopedic injuries often require both immediate care and follow-up surgeries. Treatment may involve the placement of internal plates, screws and rods to help keep a patient’s bones aligned in the correct position while the body heals. Drs. Lahey and Dr. Vinton are highly skilled at both simple and complex fracture care and will get you on the road to recovery.

MRI
Through an incision the width of a straw tip, the surgeon is able to insert a scope, which allows him inspect your joint and locate the source of your pain. The scope can also help identify tears or other damage that may have been missed by an X-ray or MRI. Then the surgeon will make one or more small incisions to accommodate the instruments used to repair the knee. These instruments can shave, trim, cut, stitch, or smooth the damaged areas.
X-Rays

Orthopedics
Worcester County Orthopedics knows Central Massachusetts better than any other orthopedic group, caring for the Worcester community’s orthopedic needs for over 50 years.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor. Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see inside your joint without making a large incision.
Joint Replacement
Millions of active Americans are seeking help for hip pain because unlike earlier generations, they are not content with modifying or limiting their lives when there are new surgical options available.In the past, patients have used medication, exercise and lifestyle changes as a strategy to postpone surgery. However, when severe pain or joint damage begins to limit your daily activities, a joint replacement is your best option to regain functionality.
Orthopedic Surgery
Dr. Lahey IV was raised in Worcester and attended St. John’s High School in Shrewsbury. He received his undergraduate degree in 2000 from Cornell University. He went on to receive a Masters Degree in Physiology from Georgetown University in 2002. In 2006, Dr. Lahey earned his medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine. Following this, he did a Preliminary Surgical Internship at the Mayo Clinic and his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. The final part of his training was a Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy Fellowship at Brown which he completed in 2013. That year he returned home to Worcester to join his father, Dr. Lahey Jr., and Dr. Vinton at Worcester County Orthopedics.
Arthroscopy
Injury, overuse, and age-related wear and tear are responsible for most shoulder problems. Shoulder arthroscopy may relieve painful symptoms of many problems that damage the rotator cuff tendons, labrum, articular cartilage, and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.
Hip Replacement
I would like to tell you about my experience with my hip replacement. First, I want to explain what shape I was in prior to making my decision. I was 55 years old with four children ages 5 to 14. I was very active snow skiing, hiking, and water skiing. I am in sales and I drive 100 to 200 miles a day. I had lower back issues for many years with trips to the chiropractor, ice, and Advil. I had got to a point that, for a lack of a better description, my right side froze. I had constant pain, could not sleep, and had to roll myself out of the car at the end of the day. Being exhausted every night was not something I was used to or could get away with. I finally listened to my wife and went to see my primary doctor. After an x-ray the doctor asked if I had ever done anything to my hips and suggested I get an orthopedic consultation. A good family friend, Dr. Kelton Burbank, saw me and, without a beat, he told me I needed not one, but two new hips. It was genetic and basically bone on bone.
Knee Replacement
Dr. Philip Lahey IV performs partial knee replacements, also known as a unicompartmental knee replacement. This procedure will resurface only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving the normal, undamaged cartilage.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is surgery that uses a tiny camera to look inside your knee. Small cuts are made to insert the camera and small surgical tools into your knee for the procedure. Learn more
Reconstructive Surgery

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Senior partner Dr. Phil Lahey Jr., joined his father’s orthopedic practice in 1979—and has practiced sports medicine in Worcester ever since. Dr. Lahey followed in his father’s footsteps to Holy Cross first as an undergraduate and later caring for Holy Cross athletes. Dr. Lahey Jr. has been the official Crusaders’ team physician since 1980.
Physical Therapy
If you have a painful condition that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment, such rest, physical therapy or injections, then a shoulder scope may be your next treatment option.
