We are pleased to offer these extensive orthopedic services in Wyandanch, NY:

Hip Replacement Surgery:

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

Procedure: Two main types of hip replacements exist—total hip replacement (THR) and partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty). THR involves the replacement of both the hip joint’s ball and socket, while hemiarthroplasty addresses only the ball component.

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

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

 

Custom Knee Replacement:

Purpose: Custom knee replacement offers a tailored approach to knee arthroplasty, suitable 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, allowing for the design of a custom-fitted knee implant tailored to their unique anatomy.

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

Recovery: The recovery process includes 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 arise 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 employs 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 

Wyandanch (/ˈwaɪənˌdæntʃ/, pronounced WY-ən-danch) is a census-designated place (CDP) and hamlet in Suffolk County, New York, situated within the Town of Babylon. It is characterized by lower-income demographics. As of the 2020 census, the population stood at 12,990 residents.

Historically, there were discussions about including some or all of Wyandanch in the unrealized Incorporated Village of Half Hollow Hills. Additionally, there were proposals for Wyandanch to incorporate itself as the Incorporated Village of Wyandanch. However, these plans did not come to fruition, and Wyandanch remains unincorporated.

This hamlet derives its name from Chief Wyandanch, a prominent leader of the Montaukett Native American tribe during the 17th century. Originally known as Half Way Hollow Hills, West Deer Park (in 1875), and Wyandance (in 1893), the region, characterized by scrub oak and pine barrens located south of the southern slope of the Half Hollow terminal moraine, was officially designated as Wyandanch in 1903 by the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR).

This renaming aimed to pay tribute to Chief Wyandanch and alleviate confusion among travelers disembarking at the West Deer Park and Deer Park railroad stations. The history of Wyandanch has been significantly influenced by successive waves of immigrants.

Despite the area’s historical significance, no archaeological evidence has been uncovered to suggest permanent Native American settlements in Wyandanch. Instead, Native Americans engaged in hunting and gathering activities, collecting fruits and berries in what is now the Wyandanch/Wheatley Heights area.

The Massapequa Indians played a pivotal role in the transfer of land to neighboring Huntington, specifically the northwest section of present-day Babylon, through the Baiting Place Purchase of 1698.

Furthermore, the Secatogue Indians contributed to land transactions by deeding the northeast section of the town of Babylon, referred to as “pine brush and plain,” in the Squaw Pit Purchase of 1699. Wyandanch’s current location falls within the boundaries of the Squaw Pit Purchase area.

It is worth noting that in the Baiting Place Purchase, the Massapequa Indians retained certain rights, including fishing and the gathering of plume and huckleberries, as documented by Lorena Frevert in 1949.

Wyandanch, previously known as West Deer Park before 1903, has its origins in what was initially referred to as the Lower Half Way Hollow Hills. The settlement was initiated by Captain Jacob Conklin, who received a land tract in what is now Wheatley Heights from his father, Timothy Conklin, around 1706.

As pioneers from Huntington gradually acquired farmlands and wooded areas from the Conklins, they began settling along the southern slope of the Half Way Hollow Hills.

The establishment of the West Deer Park Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station in 1875 marked the birth of what we know today as Wyandanch. The current Wyandanch railroad station stands on the same site where the 1875 station once existed. Jacob Conklin’s “Pirate House,” built in 1710, holds the distinction of being the first house constructed in what would later become the town of Babylon.

The original West Deer Park railroad station, including a post office, was constructed by the LIRR in May 1875 following a request from General James J. Casey, who happened to be President Ulysses S. Grant’s brother-in-law. Casey had acquired the 1,000-acre Nathanial Conklin estate in 1874 and sought a rail depot and post office closer to his property than the existing LIRR Deer Park depot, which had been in operation since 1853.

Unfortunately, the 1875 West Deer Park/Wyandanch railroad station was demolished in 1958.

The initial land sales near the station coincided with a Long Island land boom in 1872. Notably, a local real estate agent effectively targeted German and German-American settlers during this period.

In April 1903, the 1,343-acre ex-Conklin estate, complete with the historic Conklin family cemetery, was sold to Bishop Charles Edward McDonnell of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. Bishop McDonnell resumed the bottling of spring water from the Colonial Spring on the property.

Eventually, this land became the site of the Catholic Youth Organization’s (CYO) summer camp in Wyandanch. In 2011, 14-year-old Michael Berdon, a descendant of Jacob Conklin, undertook the restoration of the 257-year-old cemetery and constructed a brick path leading to the gravesite, with support from local businesses.

On March 8, 1907, the Wyandanch post office was relocated from the LIRR depot to Anthony Kirchner’s General Store and Hotel on Merritt Avenue, positioned diagonally across from the railroad station.

During the 1950s, there were efforts made by Wyandanch, its neighboring communities of Dix Hills and Melville, and the region referred to as Sweet Hollow to consider forming a single village entity.

This proposed village would have been named the Incorporated Village of Half Hollow Hills, encompassing an area of approximately 50 square miles and incorporating the Half Hollow Hills Central School District (CSD 5). Despite these plans, they did not come to fruition, and each of these areas continued to exist as unincorporated hamlets.

In the 1980s, Wyandanch also explored the possibility of becoming an independent village, citing concerns related to issues of race and perceived neglect from the Town of Babylon.

This proposed village would have been called the Incorporated Village of Wyandanch. However, similar to previous attempts, these plans were unsuccessful, and Wyandanch remains an unincorporated hamlet under the governance of the Town of Babylon.
