At Advanced Orthopedics New England, we are pleased to have a new name and new identity for our orthopedic group. We have combined the offices of Greater Hartford Orthopedic Group, CT Orthopedic Associates and the Office of Daryle Ruark MD, into a single group, offering a broader range of services and office locations for our patients, while maintaining the highest standard of orthopedic care.

We now have offices across the state in Hartford, Bloomfield, Rocky Hill, Enfield, as well as in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Launched in January 2018 we have now opened an Orthopedic Urgent Care facility, conveniently located in Bloomfield, to take care of your injuries and orthopedic needs. Orthopedic injuries often occur outside of regular business hours. Waiting in ER can be a long and costly experience, but not here! Walk in—no appointment necessary.

At our Urgent Care facility, we are staffed with experienced Orthopedic Surgeons and orthopedic Physician Assistants, capable of treating all types of orthopedic injuries. We will take care of your sprains, strains and fractures, in fact all your orthopedic needs. For fast, expert treatment you won’t find any better.

Although shoulder joint replacement surgery is less common than knee or hip replacements, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. Shoulder replacement surgery was first performed in the United States in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis.

Shoulder replacement surgery is highly technical. There are several different types of shoulder replacements; Hemiarthroplasty, Total Shoulder Replacement and Reverse Total Shoulder replacement. Dr. Wasserlauf will evaluate you and your specific situation, health history and goals before recommending a specific procedure type and choosing the appropriate implant.
