Medical Services
Cayman Orthopaedic Group is the only specialist orthopaedic practice in the Cayman Islands. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of orthopaedic care for the individual needs of each of our patients.
At Cayman Orthopaedic, our experienced physicians are board-certified medical practitioners, recognized internationally as experts in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. We employ the most medical services, innovative procedures and state-of-the-art technology for the treatment and care of sports injuries, trauma, children’s orthopaedic issues, and osteoarthritic concerns. The latest examples of the cutting edge treatments available at our Cayman Islands practice include: Platelet rich plasma treatment and Hip Arthroscopy
Over the past 30 years, the Cayman Orthopaedic Group has spearheaded the practice and innovation of Orthopaedic surgery in the Cayman Islands. This includes a series of firsts within the Caymans:
- Hip arthroscopy on island
- Cartilage reconstruction in hip arthroscopically
- Cartilage reconstruction in knee arthroscopically
- Labral reconstruction in the hip
- Glenoid reconstruction for shoulder instability arthroscopically
- Rotator cuff reconstruction for irreparable rotator cuff tears
- PCL reconstruction on the island
- Revision with Allograft
- All inside ACL reconstruction
- Abductor reconstruction in hip arthroscopically
- Superior capsular reconstruction for irreparable cuff tears
- Bone grafting of hip arthroscopically
- Bone grafting of ankle arthroscopically (TRAN)
The success rate of our treatments is significantly higher than currently published results. For example, irreparable rotator cuff repairs commonly see a nearly 100% rate of failure to heal, as compared to a successful healing rate of 80% at the Cayman Orthopaedic Group.
We teach these novel techniques to other surgeons from around the world, we publish our techniques and outcomes in international journals, and we present our research at medical conferences worldwide.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease characterized by the degeneration of cushioning cartilage in patients’ joints that ultimately interferes with joint movement and can cause painful stiffness and swelling.
