How We Do It

Treatment Options

Our board-certified surgeons evaluate each patient individually to determine the most effective approach. Digital X-rays help our specialists design effective, personalized treatment plans. At Summit Orthopaedics, we provide individualized approaches that enhance mobility and elevate quality of life.

Accurate Diagnosis

Our high-resolution digital X-rays produce detailed images of bones and joints, allowing for precise evaluation of fractures, joint alignment, and tissue health.

Reduced Radiation & Faster Results

Modern digital systems minimize radiation exposure while providing superior image clarity. Digital files are stored securely and can be shared quickly with referring providers or other specialists involved in your care.

Advanced Interventions

If symptoms persist, we offer minimally invasive procedures and surgical options — including ACL and shoulder repairs, spine surgery (cervical or lumbar), and joint preservation or replacement.

When To Seek Care

At Summit Orthopaedics, we combine advanced digital imaging with expert clinical insight to identify problems early and guide the most effective treatment plan. You may need an X-Ray if you experience:

  • Persistent joint pain or stiffness without a known cause

  • Suspected fracture or bone damage

  • Chronic pain that hasn’t improved with conservative care

  • Sudden pain, swelling, or visible deformity after an injury

FAQs

Common questions about our orthopedic services and patient care approach.

What is a digital X-ray, and how is it different from traditional X-rays?

Digital X-rays use advanced sensors instead of film to capture high-resolution images instantly. This provides faster results, reduced radiation exposure, and the ability to enhance and share images electronically—making diagnosis and treatment more efficient.

Do I need a referral to get a digital X-ray at Summit Orthopaedics?

No referral is needed for patients being evaluated at Summit Orthopaedics. If an X-ray is required, your provider can order and review it during your visit, ensuring immediate results and a faster path to treatment.

What types of conditions can digital X-rays detect?

Digital X-rays can identify fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone infections, implant wear, and spinal alignment changes. They’re also used to monitor post-surgical healing and confirm proper hardware placement.

How long does it take to get my results?

In most cases, your provider reviews your images within minutes of your scan. Because imaging is done on-site, you’ll receive results and a personalized treatment plan during the same appointment.

Can digital X-rays show soft-tissue injuries like ligaments or tendons?

X-rays primarily capture bone detail. While they can show some indirect signs of soft-tissue injury, your provider may recommend MRI or ultrasound for a clearer view if ligament, tendon, or cartilage damage is suspected.

Are digital X-rays covered by insurance?

Yes. Most health insurance plans, including workers’ compensation and accident coverage, include digital X-rays as part of diagnostic imaging benefits. Our staff can verify your coverage before the procedure.

Why is it beneficial to have imaging on-site at Summit Orthopaedics?

On-site imaging allows for faster diagnosis, fewer visits, and immediate coordination between your provider and imaging staff. This integration means you spend less time waiting and more time healing.

I just had a total hip replacement done by Dr. Cooper. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m amazed at how well I feel. They took bandaid off yesterday and my incision is even tiny, much smaller than I thought it would be!! Very happy with my results so far!! I’m walking around by myself with no walker or cane! Good job Dr. Cooper!!!
