Alaska Orthopedic Specialists
About Alaska Orthopedic Specialists
Located in Anchorage, Alaska, Alaska Orthopedic Specialists is a comprehensive orthopedic practice dedicated to restoring active lifestyles across the state. Founded in 2021 through the merger of Alaska Hand‑Elbow‑Shoulder (AKHES) and Rhyneer Caylor Clinic, the practice offers personalized care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, covering the full spectrum of musculoskeletal health. The team emphasizes a non‑surgical, evidence‑based approach that integrates advanced regenerative options such as platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections with traditional orthopedic treatments. Patients benefit from sports medicine expertise, orthopedic trauma care, joint preservation, and state‑of‑the‑art joint replacement procedures. Conservative therapies—including physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and targeted imaging—are combined with minimally invasive surgical techniques when necessary to provide effective, joint‑pain relief. Anchorage Orthopedic Specialists’ authority is reinforced by its board‑certified orthopedic surgeons, a DO sports‑medicine physician, and a skilled group of physician assistants. The practice’s history of merging two long‑standing clinics brings together decades of experience in trauma, sports medicine, and joint reconstruction, ensuring patients receive the highest quality orthopedic care in Alaska.
