The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) estimates that nearly 270,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed each year in the United States. While the majority of procedures are performed on patients age 65 or older, an increasing number of younger patients are opting for knee replacement procedures as well. All-Star Orthopaedics specializes in orthopaedic surgery in Dallas, with specific emphasis on providing customized care for each patient and their individual needs and surgical expectations.

The Dallas orthopaedic surgeons at All-Star Orthopaedics say chronic knee pain due to wear and tear or a sport-related injury can affect patients of any age, which is why they offer customized, minimally invasive procedures. While the surgeons at All-Star Orthopaedics say surgery is only performed once all non-surgical remedies have been exhausted, creating a patient-specific knee replacement surgery plan allows them to address the particular concerns of each patient. The surgeons add that customized treatment, combined with individualized physical therapy and their state-of-the-art knee replacement procedures is designed to require less downtime than other related techniques.

Regardless of the type of knee pain their patients are experiencing, the orthopaedic specialists at All-Star Orthopaedics say patient-specific knee replacement surgery is sometimes the best option for substantial relief of knee pain in Dallas patients – once all other options have been discussed. Ultimately, the surgeons say the customized, minimally invasive surgical approach is a relatively quick procedure designed to give their patients a prosthetic appliance to reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and resume the active lifestyle they are accustomed to.

All-Star Ortho Joins Mike Ditka for Super Bowl Weekend

All-Star Orthopaedics today announced it would join the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund (GGAF) as they expand their medical care program for former NFL players to Dallas, TX. As part of the program, All-Star Orthopaedics will provide assistance and accessible medical care, including orthopaedic surgery in Dallas, TX, to retired National Football League players who meet GGAF’s criteria to qualify.

The Dallas orthopaedic surgeons at All-Star Orthopaedics, in cooperation with the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund (GGAF), are announcing the expansion of valuable medical services to retired players of the National Football League (NFL) in Dallas, TX. All-Star Orthopaedics will attend GGAF’s Super Bowl Fundraiser “The Best Party in Texas” and be joined by a number of NFL legends, including Mike Ditka, Marv Levy, Kyle Turley, Tony Dorsett, Mel Renfro, Michael Irvin and many more.

As the Chairman of the Board for the GGAF, Mike Ditka says the organization’s mission is to assist retired NFL players in dire need of medical services for a variety of reasons, including inadequate disability coverage and pension benefits. “Our mission has been and will continue to be to help those former players and their families going through difficult times. The need is great. We welcome and are blessed to add All-Star Orthopaedics to our family of providers, as they have three extraordinary facilities in the Dallas area.”

All-Star Orthopaedics joins a growing portfolio of facilities offering pro bono surgical and medical services to GGAF members in need of a number of procedures such as knee replacement surgery and physical therapy for past injuries. Some of the former NFL players receiving assistance were pioneers of the sport — yet unable to financially support their medical needs due to the high costs of necessary treatment and inadequate private and public funding. By enlisting the support of partners like All-Star Orthopaedics, GGAF is able to provide no-cost, quality healthcare to hundreds of clients annually, for services ranging from physical therapy to patient specific knee replacement surgery.

President of the GGAF, Shannon Jordan believes the work All-Star Orthopaedic is doing says a lot about the institution, the doctors and their team. “They are willing to step up and help us fill this unquestionable need. We are truly grateful. These are remarkable people helping remarkable people who have slipped in society. Our collective goal is to get these great men and their families back on their feet.”

Committed to providing retired NFL players with the basic human services they need, GGAF offers a broad range of services including medical, pharmaceutical, housing, food, and clothing. To support its programs, the organization relies solely on corporate and private donations generated through sponsorship, special events, sports memorabilia auctions, autograph sessions, and public drives.

About The GGAF

The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund provides hands-on assistance and financial aid to help retired NFL players deal with some of the hardships they may encounter after football. Many of these players lack funds, disability coverage or pension benefits. Thus the GGAF focuses on the humanitarian side of these players, treating them with dignity, and addressing the post-football related issues in their lives. http://www.gridirongreats.org
