Orthopedic Services
Shoulder, Hip & Knee Replacement
Joint replacement may be considered when arthritis, joint damage, pain, stiffness, or loss of function no longer responds adequately to nonsurgical care. Edwards Orthopedics offers shoulder, hip, and knee replacement options, including outpatient joint replacement when appropriate.
Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic and sports-related care includes treatment for shoulder and knee problems such as rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, shoulder instability, ACL tears, meniscus tears, meniscal root tears, cartilage problems, and activity-related injuries.
Fracture & Trauma Care
Fracture care may include casting, splinting, closed fracture management, or surgical fixation depending on the injury. Dr. Edwards treats many acute fractures and orthopedic injuries locally through clinic, surgery center, and hospital-based care.
Hand & Upper Extremity
Common hand and upper-extremity problems treated include carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, selected wrist and elbow conditions, tendon problems, and other concerns that may respond to injections, splinting, therapy, or surgery.
Pediatric Orthopedics
Many pediatric orthopedic injuries and concerns can be evaluated and treated locally, including fractures, sprains, sports injuries, and selected bone or joint problems. More complex pediatric conditions may require referral when specialized care is needed.
Nonsurgical Orthopedic Treatment
Not every orthopedic problem requires surgery. Nonsurgical treatment options may include injections, arthritis management, bracing, therapy coordination, casting, splinting, medication guidance, activity modification, and tendonitis treatment.

Treatment Philosophy
Clear recommendations. Practical options. Local care.
Orthopedic care should start with a clear explanation of the problem and a practical discussion of treatment options. Surgery is recommended when it is the right tool for the condition—not simply because it is available.
Many orthopedic problems can be treated with activity modification, bracing, injections, therapy, casting, or time. When surgery is appropriate, patients should understand the reason for surgery, expected recovery, and realistic goals.
Edwards Orthopedics focuses on helping patients in Elko and the surrounding region receive advanced orthopedic care close to home, while avoiding unnecessary travel whenever local treatment is appropriate.
