Services & Treatments at The Stone Clinic

At The Stone Clinic, everything is built around one goal: helping people stay active for life. Led by Kevin R. Stone, MD, our team provides orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, regenerative care, StoneFit physical therapy, rehabilitation, and diagnostic imaging in one coordinated setting.

Instead of sending patients from place to place, we are set up to handle every step of your care from diagnosis through treatment and recovery. That may include a physical exam, digital X-ray, extremity MRI when needed, non-operative care, outpatient surgery, onsite rehabilitation, virtual support, or long-term fitness training.

Our approach is designed to help you see yourself not simply as a patient in rehab, but as an athlete in training. Explore the services below to learn more about the available treatment options.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Orthopaedic surgery at The Stone Clinic focuses on restoring function while preserving as much of the natural joint as possible. When biologic repair is appropriate, our team uses advanced techniques to rebuild cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, tendons, and joint surfaces. When joint replacement is the only option, robotic-assisted technology offers unparalleled personalization and precision for your procedure, helping you return to sports. 

Knee Surgery

The Stone Clinic offers a wide range of knee surgery options for ligament injuries, meniscus damage, cartilage loss, arthritis, instability, and advanced joint degeneration.

• BioKnee: Biologic Knee Replacement
  BioKnee is a biologic alternative to traditional knee replacement. It rebuilds damaged parts of the knee using procedures such as cartilage regeneration, meniscus repair or transplantation, and ligament repair or reconstruction.
• Knee Cartilage Regeneration Surgery
  Knee cartilage regeneration surgery uses the Articular Cartilage Paste Graft technique to repair damaged cartilage, reduce pain, and help preserve the natural knee joint.
• Meniscus Repair
  Meniscus repair is designed to preserve the knee's natural shock absorption by repairing torn meniscus tissue when possible.
• Meniscus Transplantation
  Meniscus transplantation replaces missing or severely damaged meniscus tissue with donor tissue to restore cushioning and protect the knee joint.
• ACL Repair & ACL Reconstruction
  ACL treatment at The Stone Clinic is tailored to the injury, tissue quality, activity goals, and long-term stability of the knee.
• Knee Ligament Repair & Reconstruction
  Knee ligament repair and reconstruction treat complex injuries involving the ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, posterolateral corner, and anterolateral ligament. Each injury is carefully evaluated to restore stability, protect the knee, and reduce the risk of recurrent ligament failure.
• ACL Revision Surgery
  ACL revision surgery addresses failed or recurrent ACL injuries with careful evaluation of graft integrity, alignment, cartilage health, and meniscus condition.
• Robotic Partial Knee Replacement
  Robotic partial knee replacement resurfaces only the damaged portion of the knee when arthritis is limited to one part of the joint.
• Robotic Total Knee Replacement
  Robotic total knee replacement is used when advanced arthritis affects multiple parts of the knee and replacement is the most appropriate treatment option.
• Alternatives to Knee Replacement
  Alternatives to knee replacement may include biologic joint repair, cartilage restoration, meniscus transplantation, ligament reconstruction, injections, rehabilitation, or partial knee replacement, depending on the condition of the joint.

Shoulder Surgery

Shoulder surgery at The Stone Clinic addresses rotator cuff tears, instability, labrum injuries, frozen shoulder, arthritis, cartilage damage, AC joint injuries, and clavicle fractures.

• Stone Shoulder Program
  The Stone Shoulder Program is designed to repair and rebuild injured shoulder tissues when possible, helping patients reduce pain, improve motion, and avoid or delay shoulder replacement.
• Rotator Cuff Repair
  Rotator cuff repair treats tendon tears that cause shoulder pain, weakness, and loss of function.
• Shoulder Instability & Labrum Repair
  Shoulder instability and labrum repair restore stability after dislocation, labral tearing, or recurrent looseness of the shoulder joint.
• Frozen Shoulder Treatment
  Frozen shoulder treatment focuses on restoring motion, reducing pain, and addressing scar tissue or inflammation that limits shoulder movement.
• Shoulder Arthritis & Cartilage Repair
  Shoulder arthritis and cartilage repair options may include biologic treatments, arthroscopic procedures, and cartilage repair techniques when the joint is not yet beyond repair.
• AC Joint Repair
  AC joint repair treats shoulder separation and instability between the collarbone and shoulder blade.
• Clavicle Fracture Repair
  Clavicle fracture repair treats displaced collarbone fractures with techniques designed to restore alignment and shoulder function.

Ankle Surgery

Ankle surgery at The Stone Clinic focuses on preserving motion, restoring stability, repairing cartilage, and helping patients avoid or delay ankle fusion or artificial replacement when appropriate.

• BioAnkle: Biologic Ankle Replacement
  BioAnkle is a biologic approach to rebuilding injured and arthritic ankles by repairing cartilage, ligaments, and joint surfaces.
• Ankle Cartilage Regeneration Surgery
  Ankle cartilage regeneration surgery uses the Articular Cartilage Paste Graft technique to repair damaged cartilage in the ankle joint.
• Ankle Instability Repair
  Ankle instability repair restores ligament stability after injuries that leave the ankle loose, painful, or prone to repeated sprains.
• Achilles Tendon Repair
  Achilles tendon repair treats ruptures of the Achilles tendon using a minimally invasive technique designed to preserve natural healing factors and reduce scarring.
• Ankle Arthritis Treatment
  Ankle arthritis treatment may include injections, rehabilitation, cartilage repair, ligament repair, or BioAnkle procedures, depending on the extent of joint damage.
• Alternatives to Ankle Replacement or Fusion
  Alternatives to ankle replacement or fusion focus on preserving ankle motion through biologic repair, cartilage restoration, and ligament reconstruction when the joint can still be rebuilt.

Biologic Joint Repair

Biologic joint repair focuses on rebuilding injured joint tissues instead of replacing them with metal and plastic whenever repair is still possible. These programs are central to The Stone Clinic's approach to treating joint damage and post-traumatic arthritis.

• BioKnee
  BioKnee rebuilds damaged knee tissues using biologic procedures designed to preserve the natural joint.
• BioAnkle
  BioAnkle restores ankle motion and function by repairing damaged cartilage, ligaments, and joint surfaces.
• Stone Shoulder Program
  The Stone Shoulder Program applies biologic repair principles to shoulder injuries, instability, rotator cuff tears, cartilage damage, and arthritis.

Robotic Joint Replacement

When biologic repair is no longer the right option, robotic-assisted joint replacement can provide a precise, advanced solution. At The Stone Clinic, robotic technology is used to support accurate implant placement, personalized alignment, and a more natural-feeling result.

• Robotic Partial Knee Replacement
  Robotic partial knee replacement treats arthritis limited to one part of the knee while preserving the healthy areas of the joint.
• Robotic Total Knee Replacement
  Robotic total knee replacement treats advanced knee arthritis when multiple areas of the joint are damaged, and replacement is the best treatment path.

Non-Operative Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Care

Not every injury requires surgery. Non-operative orthopaedic and sports medicine care at The Stone Clinic focuses on reducing pain, supporting tissue healing, improving movement, and helping patients return to activity safely.

Regenerative Injection Therapy: PRP, HA & Growth Factors

Regenerative injection therapy may include platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid, and growth factor-based treatments. These options are used to reduce inflammation, improve joint lubrication, support tissue healing, and help manage pain from joint, tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue injuries.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic energy to stimulate healing in tendons and soft tissues. This non-invasive treatment may be used for chronic pain, stubborn tendon problems, and sports-related overuse injuries.

StoneFit Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

StoneFit physical therapy and rehabilitation are central to The Stone Clinic's model of care. Programs are individualized for each patient's injury, surgery, goals, and activity level, with one-on-one guidance focused on restoring motion, strength, coordination, and confidence.

Orthopaedic Physical Therapy

Orthopaedic physical therapy treats joint, muscle, tendon, ligament, and movement problems caused by injury, overuse, surgery, or arthritis.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Post-surgical rehabilitation is coordinated with the operating surgeon and focused on restoring motion, strength, stability, and function after orthopaedic surgery.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Sports injury rehabilitation helps athletes and active individuals recover from acute injuries, overuse conditions, and movement problems that interfere with training or sport.

Manual Physical Therapy

Manual physical therapy uses hands-on techniques to improve mobility, soft-tissue health, joint motion, and movement quality.

Spine Physical Therapy

Spine physical therapy focuses on strength, mobility, posture, and movement retraining for neck and back pain.

Arthritis Physical Therapy

Arthritis physical therapy helps reduce pain, preserve motion, improve strength, and support long-term joint function.

Prehab / Injury Prevention
