ADVANCED SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY 

At Williams Institute of Orthopedics (WIO) in Lady Lake, innovation is transforming the way patients heal. Dr. John T. Williams Jr., has built his practice on a commitment to advanced surgical technology. “It’s not technology for technology’s sake” says Dr. Williams. “I want my patients to know that we are constantly pursuing training on new technologies and techniques because that means better outcomes for them.” 

One of the primary technologies employed by the practice is the Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA®), which is used in knee replacement surgeries. Dr. Williams has been specially trained on this machine, allowing him to provide more precise and less invasive joint replacement surgeries. “Using technologies like ROSA® often means less time under anesthesia, reduced blood loss during surgery, and faster healing and recovery times for my patients” Dr. Williams explained. “We have seen some really great results for people since implementing robotic surgery as an option.” 

In addition to high-tech surgical solutions, WIO offers general orthopedic services, total joint replacements (hip and knee), trauma and fracture management, regenerative therapy, and an on-site physical therapy clinic, providing excellent orthopedic care to residents of the tri-county area. The WIO team is committed to helping patients optimize joint health and pursue active lifestyles. Our team is trained in a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical treatment options that are tailored to you and your unique needs. Our onsite physical therapy clinic is also a convenient way 

ADDITIONAL SERVICES & EXPERTISE 

Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP) 

Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment to repair injured tissues. Concentrated platelets obtained from a patient’s own blood contain growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing properties. WIO offers PRP injections to treat pain from arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, fractures, sprains and more. 

ClarixFlo Treatment 

ClarixFlo is a non-surgical option used to treat osteoarthritis. It is a sterile powder derived from donated human placental tissue containing growth factors and anti-inflammatory agents that helps repair cells and regenerate damaged tissues. It can also be used to treat fractures, inflammation, bursitis, sprains, and more. 

Hyaluronic Acid Injections 

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are an approved treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. This is an alternative treatment for steroid injections. HA naturally occurs in the fluid of the knee joint, providing lubrication. These injections increase the amount of HA in the joint to reduce pain and increase range of motion. 

MyMobility App 

Using an innovative approach to pre- and postoperative care, MyMobility mobile app provides education regarding your condition and surgery. It provides exercises prior to surgery to promote strengthening in preparation for postoperative exercises and can be used to send messages directly to your care team. With reminders to complete tasks and continual encouragement throughout the process, your pre-and postoperative course is greatly improved. 

CBD Products 

WIO features our own line of CBD products. We offer a CBD-infused topical salve and CBD topical massage oil. CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is used for chronic pain to reduce opioid use. It can also be used to treat migraines, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, inflammation, and more.
