About Paul Meli, M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon
Located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Paul Meli Orthopedics is a specialized center focusing on orthopedic care and regenerative medicine. The practice emphasizes treating acute and chronic ligament, tendon, and cartilage conditions by harnessing the body’s natural healing mechanisms, positioning their treatments as advanced biomedical approaches to musculoskeletal concerns. They serve as a trusted leader in this specialized field in Florida, having provided orthopedic care since 1990. The team focuses on non-surgical strategies, utilizing modern techniques like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to enhance recovery, heal injuries, and promote faster postoperative healing. PRP, a form of regenerative medicine, is utilized for its ability to stimulate cell reproduction and improve tissue function, offering an alternative for orthopedic issues such as osteoarthritis and sports injuries when conservative treatments like physical therapy or NSAIDs have been ineffective. PRP therapy is administered via ultrasound guidance into the affected area to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in conditions affecting tendons, muscles, and joints. This approach is considered a primary resource for patients seeking orthopedic solutions that move beyond traditional interventions to restore function and provide long-term relief.
