Our treatment options include in-house xrays, open MRI, corticosteroid injections, orthobiologic injections, ultrasound guidance, topical anti-inflammatories, oral pain medications, bracing, surgery center, physical therapy, and home-based exercise therapy among other state-of-the-art treatment options. We also offer elective limb lengthening as well as bone density evaluations and treatment options. Dr. Nic performs total joint replacements utilizing ROSA robotic assistance technology. ROSA utilizes three-dimensional technology to optimize placement of implants and patient anatomy. Dr. Nic still performs all aspects of the surgery directly, he simply uses the ROSA as an assistant to check all pre-operative computer measurements. All ligament gaps and anatomy are verified in the operating room, with less estimating by the surgeon. Instant biometric data is available in the operating room for the most precise joint replacement possible. Dr. Nic was born and raised in Dallas, TX.
