Specializing in orthopedic spine surgery, Dr. Fitch can diagnose and treat a range of conditions affecting the spine. These may include degenerative diseases, arthritic conditions, fractures, tumors, deformities such as scoliosis, and other conditions. Treatment techniques may range from invasive to minimally-invasive surgeries of the spine and vertebrae. However, depending upon the patient's diagnosis and medical history, treatments may be non-surgical in nature.
Being an orthopedic surgeon in North Carolina, Dr. Fitch is qualified to treat and diagnose injuries to the musculoskeletal system, such as the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. After reaching a specific medical diagnosis, Dr. Fitch will normally turn to surgery when all other treatment options have been exhausted or eliminated. Patients may need the care and attention of an orthopedic surgeon for torn ligaments, sports injuries, fractures, sprains, and more.
Pediatric surgeons are to children what general surgeons are to adults, performing a wide range of surgeries on the organs and structures of the abdomen. Because children are still maturing and growing, their surgical needs are much different from that of an adult. Dr. Fitch has been specifically trained to take these and other factors into account when planning for and performing pediatric surgeries.
