Fellowship-trained, arthroscopy-focused care for athletes and active adults in Milwaukee. When surgery is the right answer, it is done through small incisions with a clear plan to get you back to your sport and your life.
Most sports injuries do not need an operation. Dr. Wichman is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with sports medicine fellowship training, and the same person who evaluates you performs your surgery if you need one. You get a straight diagnosis, the full range of non-operative options first, and an honest recommendation about whether surgery will actually help.
When surgery is the right call, it is almost always arthroscopic, done through small incisions with a camera, which usually means less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery.
