For over 40 years, Orthopaedic Surgery Associates, Inc. (OSA) has served Palm Beach County.

Services include comprehensive evaluation and testing procedures; total knee, hip and shoulder joint replacement; spinal surgery including kyphoplasty, arthroscopic knee surgery, repair and reconstruction for torn ligaments and cartilage; hand and wrist surgery and rehabilitation and pain management services.

OSA has offices in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. OSA recently opened its location in West Boynton Beach at 9868 State Road 7, Suite 225, Boynton Beach, FL 33472 in May 2022 and in East Boynton Beach at 2623 S. Seacrest Blvd., Suite 216, Boynton Beach, FL 33435 in October 2023.

All physicians are board-certified and fellowship trained with specialties including hand, knee, hip, spine, foot/ankle and sports medicine.

Stellar Patient Care

For 30 years Eric T. Shapiro, M.D., a senior partner and orthopedic surgeon, has followed a core patient care principle — diagnosing appropriately and focusing on patient well-being. “Many surgeons believe that the only way to treat patients successfully is through surgery. We make an informed decision after considering all options,” says Dr. Shapiro, who specializes in sports medicine.

Total Joint Surgery

A hip replacement surgery is one of the most successful operations performed by orthopedic surgeons. A hip replacement restores function, removes pain and has some of the highest patient satisfaction of all surgeries performed today. If a patient with hip arthritis is no longer getting relief from their nonoperative treatment and their life is significantly impacted, then they should consider hip replacement.

Colleagues Elvis L. Grandic, M.D. and Jonathan B. Courtney, M.D., are the top total joint replacement surgeons in Palm Beach County. OSA recently added Matthew J. LaVelle, M.D. to its stellar total joint team.

Dr. LaVelle did his fellowship in Adult Reconstruction at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York.

Kyphoplasty Surgery

If you have a painful spinal condition, you need a thorough evaluation to determine the problem’s cause. “Getting the right diagnosis is critical,” says Daniel A. Baluch, M.D., who specializes in treating spinal conditions. “You can’t simply rely on imaging studies. A spinal scan might detect an abnormality, but it takes a thorough evaluation by an experienced specialist to determine whether or not it’s the cause of your pain,” he says.    

Dr. Baluch can perform a kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to stop the pain caused by a spinal fracture, stabilize the bone and restore some or all of the lost vertebral body height from the compression fracture.

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Because shoulders get a lot of usage, whether through sports or day-to-day activity, this leaves them vulnerable to injury, overuse, or the aging process. Damage occurs to the shoulder joint and can cause pain, weakness, and stiffness. Jonathan C. Hersch, M.D. performs shoulder replacement surgery to relieve this pain and to restore motion.

Dr. Hersch typically uses GPS-guided shoulder navigation technology to aid in implant placement for improved control and outcomes.

Foot and Ankle Surgery

OSA recently added Mirysla Colon-Martinez, M.D. to its prestigious orthopaedic group as a Board-Certified Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon. Dr. Colon-Martinez did her Orthopaedic Fellowship Training at the prestigious Harvard University, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. Dr. Colon’s areas of medical interests include minimally invasive surgery, complex foot and ankle reconstructive procedures, Achilles tendon, flatfoot reconstruction, minimally invasive bunion surgery and arthroscopic surgery.
