Sports Medicine, Knee and Shoulder Sports Injuries

and Surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Joint Replacement, and More Offered by Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Ira Guttentag of Florida Medical Clinic Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine

Welcome to the website of Ira Guttentag, M.D., F.A.C.S. Specializing in sports medicine, Dr. Guttentag provides advanced, patient-centric care for ACL injuries, meniscus and rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, osteoarthritis and more at Florida Medical Clinic Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

Dr. Guttentag is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and has served as the Head Team Physician and Medical Director for the Tampa Bay Lightning since 2002. He is trained to take care of athletes at all ages and levels. Whether you dislocated your shoulder playing with your kids or injured your ACL during a collegiate basketball game, you’ll be in good hands with Dr. Guttentag. He will take the time to carefully diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action, which may include conservative non-surgical treatment, orthopaedic surgery, or both.

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the most promising areas in the sports medicine field, as it can provide shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain and scarring, and reduced surgical risk compared to traditional open surgical approaches. This allows patients to have a much smoother healing process and get back on their feet as quickly as possible. Dr. Guttentag is a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, performing procedures to reconstruct ligaments, repair a torn meniscus or rotator cuff, fix shoulder or patellofemoral instability, complete cartilage regeneration, and address biceps tendonitis. He uses a minimally invasive approach that spares as much of the muscle tissue as possible, which helps minimize damage and expedite recovery.

Dr. Guttentag Performs Outpatient Partial and Total Knee Replacement Surgery – Using the Most Advanced Techniques

At Florida Medical Clinic Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Dr. Guttentag is one of the few orthopaedic surgeons in the area who performs outpatient knee replacement surgery. He was the first orthopaedic surgeon in the Tampa Bay region who was selected to evaluate the Vanguard XP Preserving Knee by Biomet®, a technology that allows the ACL and other healthy ligaments to be preserved during total knee replacement surgery. He also uses the Oxford® Partial Knee implant for partial knee replacements. Utilizing these advanced technologies as appropriate, Dr. Guttentag has helped numerous patients with knee arthritis find relief from their knee pain and disability with a natural-feeling knee joint implant.

If you are experiencing pain or mobility limitations due to a sports injury, arthritis, or another condition, let Dr. Guttentag help you on your road to recovery. There’s no other surgeon in the area that will provide better care or more advanced techniques. Contact Florida Medical Clinic Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine today to schedule a consultation.
