We are proud to provide a comprehensive range of orthopedic services in the Ridge, NY vicinity:

Hip Replacement Surgery:
Purpose: Hip replacement surgery is recommended for individuals dealing with hip joint damage caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures. The primary objective is to alleviate discomfort, restore mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.

Procedure: There are two primary types of hip replacements available—total hip replacement (THR) and partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty). THR involves replacing both the hip joint’s ball and socket, while hemiarthroplasty deals with the ball component only.

Implants: Typically, artificial hip joint components are crafted from materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic, chosen based on the patient’s age, activity level, and specific needs.

Recovery: Following the procedure, patients undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, leading to reduced pain and improved hip function.

 

Custom Knee Replacement:
Purpose: Custom knee replacement offers a personalized approach to knee arthroplasty, ideal for individuals with severe knee pain or joint damage unresponsive to conservative treatments.

Procedure: Advanced imaging and computer modeling assess the patient’s knee anatomy before surgery, enabling the design of a custom-fitted knee implant tailored to their unique anatomy.

Benefits: Custom knee replacements often lead to improved alignment, stability, and reduced pain when compared to standard knee replacements.

Recovery: The recovery process involves physical therapy to regain knee strength and range of motion, typically resulting in reduced pain and improved knee function.

 

Hip Avascular Necrosis:
Definition: Avascular necrosis of the hip occurs when the blood supply to the hip bone’s femoral head is disrupted, resulting in the death of bone tissue.

Causes: This condition can result from factors such as trauma, prolonged corticosteroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, or specific medical conditions.

Treatment: Treatment options include medications for pain management and addressing underlying conditions. In advanced cases, surgical interventions like core decompression, bone grafting, or hip replacement may be necessary.

 

Cervical Myelopathy – Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion:
Purpose: This procedure addresses cervical myelopathy, characterized by spinal cord compression in the neck, with the aim of relieving pressure on the spinal cord.

Procedure: Surgeons access the spine from the posterior approach, removing any bone or tissue compressing the spinal cord and fusing adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine.

Recovery: Physical therapy may be necessary to regain strength and mobility, and the procedure can alleviate symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking.

 

Degenerative Lumbar Spine – Fusion Surgeries – TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion):
Purpose: TLIF targets degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine, including disc degeneration, herniation, or spondylolisthesis.

Procedure: During TLIF, the surgeon removes the problematic disc, inserts bone graft material into the empty disc space, and utilizes hardware like screws and rods to fuse adjacent vertebrae.

Benefits: TLIF provides spinal stability, reduces pain, and can enhance overall function.

 

Degenerative Cervical Spine – ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion):
Purpose: ACDF is employed to treat cervical spine conditions such as herniated discs or spinal cord compression in the neck.

Procedure: The surgeon accesses the cervical spine from the anterior approach, removes the damaged disc, and fuses adjacent vertebrae using a bone graft to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.

Recovery: This procedure can alleviate symptoms like neck pain, arm pain, and numbness.

 

Lumbar Canal Stenosis and Degenerative Adult Scoliosis – Lumbar Fusion:
Purpose: Lumbar fusion is recommended for conditions such as lumbar canal stenosis or adult scoliosis to provide spine stability.

Procedure: During lumbar fusion, two or more vertebrae are fused using bone grafts and hardware to reduce pain and improve spinal alignment.

Benefits: Lumbar fusion can offer relief from pain, weakness, and other symptoms associated with these conditions.

 

Lumbar Discectomy:
Purpose: Lumbar discectomy is performed to address herniated or damaged discs in the lumbar spine.

Procedure: The surgeon removes the portion of the disc pressing on nearby nerves, providing relief from pain and discomfort.

Recovery: Patients typically experience reduced leg pain and improved mobility following this procedure.

History

Ridge is a community and designated census area (CDP) within Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, in the United States. According to the 2010 census, the population stood at 13,336 residents.

In 1693, William “Tangier” Smith, who possessed a homestead in Setauket, acquired a significant expanse of land on Long Island’s South Shore.

This acquisition was in recognition of his service as the mayor of Tangier in Africa. This land, known as Manor St. George, extended from the Carmans River (then known as the Connecticut River) in the west to the eastern fringes of Southampton. It had a northern boundary encompassing present-day New York State Route 25, totaling around 81,000 acres of land.

William Smith established his manor seat in present-day Mastic on the South Shore, while the northern section, which is now the southern part of Ridge, was referred to as “The Swamp” or “Longswamp.” Construction of a house in Longswamp did not occur until after the American Revolution.

In 1817, William Sydney Smith took up residence in the house and renamed the area Longwood.

By 1955, what remained of William Smith’s original manor was mainly situated in Ridge and was surrounded by the rapidly developing Brookhaven National Laboratory and its environs. Elbert Clayton Smith, who moved his family from California to live there, owned Longwood’s 750 acres.

He displayed great generosity toward his new community, making donations that included 51 acres for the construction of Longwood High School and 6 acres to the Middle Island Presbyterian Church.

In 1967, Elbert Smith passed away, and the Longwood Estate was divided into housing developments, almost facing complete destruction. Preservation efforts gained momentum, leading to the house and 35 acres of land being granted to the Town of Brookhaven in 1974. The Smith Estate was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

In 1738, northern Ridge saw its first settlement by Samuel Randall, a widower from North Stonington, Connecticut. Samuel’s only son, Stephen Randall, and their descendants farmed a substantial 4,000-acre tract of land that Samuel had always referred to as “the Ridge” due to its geographical terrain.

Originally called “Randallville,” the community eventually adopted the name Ridge for postal purposes. The Randall burial ground near the William Floyd Parkway contains the grave of Lieutenant Stephen Randall (1736–1818), a patriot of the American Revolution and a veteran of the Suffolk County Militia who participated in the Battle of Long Island. The burial site also includes the graves of Randall’s wife, Elizabeth Swezey (1747–1834), and several of their descendants.
