New Patient Education Center Offers Patients In-Depth Info About Treatment & Technology Options

Shasta Orthopaedics’ surgeons utilize a variety of FDA approved orthopaedic implants offered by reputable and trusted manufacturers. Implants are selected based on what is most appropriate for each patient, and what will ultimately yield the best results.
