Dr. Schlehr is an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine and arthroscopy. Dr. Schlehr treats a wide variety of orthopaedic injuries.
An arthroscopy is the surgical technique in which Dr. Schlehr specializes. This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and treatment of the injured joint is performed using an arthroscope. The arthroscope is a small camera used to directly visualize a joint without having to make large incisions. This technique allows for faster recovery from surgery as well as less time spent in the hospital.
