Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Arthritis is a major cause of joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in the hip. Arthritis can occur for many reasons, including aging, “wear and tear,” injury, disease, and developmental abnormalities of the hip structure. There are over 100 different types of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, Post-Traumatic Arthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis are types of arthritis that most frequently develop in the hip.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused by structural problems in the foot, such as flat feet or high arches. Sudden weight gain, obesity, and prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces contributes to the condition. Heel pain that occurs in the morning upon awakening is a hallmark sign of plantar fasciitis. Fortunately, for the majority of people, symptoms are relieved without surgery.
Pediatric Care
Laura earned her undergraduate degree in exercise science from Salisbury University and then obtained her PTA degree from Carroll Community College in 2004. She has since worked primarily in outpatient orthopedics with some exposure in workers’ compensation, pre/post partum, pulmonary, and pediatrics.
Primary Care
If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit.
Emergency Care
Hip fractures are most commonly caused by falls. The risk for hip fractures increases with age. Older adults, especially those over the age of 85, are at the highest risk because of changes in bone structure and overall health. Medical complications from hip fractures can be life threatening. Because of the possible serious consequences, you should see your doctor or go to the emergency department of a hospital immediately if you suspect that you fractured your hip.
Diabetic Foot Care

Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Nerves carry messages between the brain, spinal cord, and body parts. When a nerve is compressed, it cannot function properly. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is the second most common nerve entrapment syndrome, after Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Mental Health
This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your Protected Health Information (PHI) to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations (TPO) and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control your protected health information. "Protected health information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome develops when the tissues and tendons in the Carpal Tunnel swell and make the area within the tunnel smaller. This can happen in association with other medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism and diabetes. The increased pressure within the tunnel causes the Median Nerve to become compressed. The pressure disrupts the way the nerve works and causes the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Usually, the exact cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is unknown.

Ultrasound
The goal of physical therapy is to facilitate the healing process for your injury and help you safely return to your sport. Therapeutic exercises including strength training, aerobic exercise, and stretching are an important part of your rehab. They help improve flexibility, strength, endurance, and posture while preventing injury, pain, and deterioration. Sport-specific exercises and modalities such as heat, ice, and ultrasound, may be used together to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
MRI
As a large orthopaedic practice with multiple locations and doctors who subspecialize in different body parts and procedures, we can provide an array of services you might not find in smaller orthopaedic offices. Need a sling or crutches? You’ll get what you need before you leave our office. Need X-rays or an MRI? We offer diagnostic imaging in each of our locations.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Your doctor may use imaging tests to identify structural factors, such as bone spurs or arthritis, which may contribute to nerve compression. These tests can include X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT scans), or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). An X-ray uses a camera to take a picture of the elbow area to show the bone’s condition. CT scans take pictures in layers, so it produces images in the form of slices that make up the elbow, like the slices that make up a loaf of bread. MRI scans provide a very detailed view of the elbow complex. Like the other imaging tests, the MRI equipment focuses on the area to be examined and takes pictures. All of these imaging tests are painless and require that you remain very still.

Orthopedics
Thomas is a Carroll County native and earned his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from Frostburg State University in 2014. During his time at Frostburg, Thomas played varsity lacrosse and participated in fraternal fundraising philanthropy events. Post-graduation, Thomas found himself as a white-water rafting guide before starting at OACM at a technician in 2016. He acquired his PTA degree from Carroll Community College in 2022 with an interest in sports and orthopedics.
Sciatica
Introduction The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down to your feet. If the sciatic nerve is compressed or inflamed, a painful condition called Sciatica can result. Symptoms of Sciatica include shooting pain, tingling, weakness, and numbness that may travel from the lower back, through the back of one leg, and into your foot.
Arthroscopy
Our orthopaedic surgeons perform arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, to diagnose and repair injuries or conditions in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle.
Wound Care
The position assists clinicians and medical secretaries in providing direct patient care; including but not limited to phlebotomy, specimen collection, wound care, laser therapy, DME, medication preparation and obtaining patient vital signs. Position also assists in stocking exam room supplies, scheduling patient appointments, and end of day walk-through to ensure all computers are signed off.
Pinched Nerve
"I met Dr. Janz in 2016 when I had an arthritis issue with my fingers on both hands. He performed surgery and my hands look like new again. He has also operated on a pinched nerve in my husband’s hand. We now live in Hagerstown and still go to the Eldersburg office to see him. He is the only doctor for hands for us. He is a very caring person."
Ankle Surgery
Bunion Surgery
If nonsurgical treatments fail, surgery may be necessary to restore normal alignment, pain-free movement, and function. Bunion surgery is used to realign the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. The toes are placed in their correct positions and the bony bump is removed. There are numerous surgical techniques for treating bunions. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate options for you.
Joint Replacement
At MASTR, Mary Beth continues her focus on general orthopedic rehabilitation with a special interest in total joint replacement. Outside of work she most enjoys spending time with her family and is a loyal Terps fan!
Bunions
From Achilles tendon tears to bunions to diabetic foot problems, our orthopaedic surgeons and podiatrists have extensive training in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and ankle disorders.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic surgery, also referred to as arthroscopy, uses an arthroscope to guide the orthopaedic surgeon during a procedure. An arthroscope is a thin viewing instrument with a lens and a light that enables doctors to see inside a joint without having to open the joint up.
Hip Replacement
The hip is one of the most commonly replaced joints. The hip is a ball and socket joint. It allows us to move our legs and bend and straighten our body. Osteoarthritis, a type of arthritis, is the main reason for Hip Replacement Surgery. Other conditions, including trauma, may also cause the need for a hip replacement.
Knee Replacement
Glenn talks about his positive and collaborative medical journey with Dr. Michael Wallace, starting with a torn meniscus and leading to the decision for knee replacement surgery.
Reconstructive Surgery
Al tells us about his experience OACM, and Dr. Scott Silverstein and Dr. Ke Xie, regarding his hip reconstructive surgery/revision procedure and recovery.

Physical Therapy
Orthopaedic Associates of Central Maryland offers four convenient full-service locations, same-day appointments, and after-hours care; and four physical therapy only locations.
Occupational Therapy
Beth graduated with honors from Elizabethtown College with a degree in Occupational Therapy in 1989 and earned her hand therapy certification in 1998. She was also a student of Modern Studies at Loyola University.
Frozen Shoulder
I began therapy on January 22, 2019 with what's commonly referred to as a "frozen shoulder". Kirsten has diligently brought me along to the point where I can now perform all of my professional and recreational activities without pain. Kirsten has that uncommon trait of being both professional and social. She strikes a balance between "pushing" her patients to new limits, and encouraging them to "follow up" with their own home exercises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your facility (or Kirsten) to a friend in need.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a condition that results in deterioration of the tendon fibers that attach to the bone at the outside of the elbow. The pain of tennis elbow occurs primarily where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the elbow bone at the lateral epicondyle.

Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Ankle Sprain
Our on-site diagnostic imaging services and ambulatory surgical center allow us to promptly evaluate and treat foot and ankle injuries. We provide complete foot care for people with diabetes and participate in the diabetic shoe program.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are a common foot deformity, especially in females. They most frequently result from wearing shoes that are too small, narrow, pointed, or have a high heel. Abnormal pressure from poorly fitting shoes causes the bones in the big toe and foot to move out of position. This results in a large, painful bump on the side of the foot at the big toe. Bunions can also run in families.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
People who have diabetes with uncontrolled blood glucose frequently experience foot problems. High levels of blood glucose over long periods of time can lead to nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) and poor blood circulation (peripheral vascular disease). Either of these can cause foot complications such as infections, ulcers or sores, and toe deformities.
Flat Feet
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is the most common toe deformity. Most often it affects the second toe on the foot, next to the big toe. It causes the middle joint of the toe to bend, leading to curling of the toe resembling a hammer. It is important to diagnose and treat hammertoe early because the condition tends to become worse over time. If left untreated, hammertoe can require surgery. Other toe deformities include claw toe and mallet toe.
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are abnormal bony growths that develop at the back of or under the heel. Inflammation around a spur, more so than the spur itself, can cause significant pain.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Your heels bear tons of pressure each day when you stand and walk. It’s no wonder that heel pain is a common complaint. Heel pain occurs for various reasons. Common causes of pain beneath the heel include bruising from stepping on something hard, inflamed connective tissue from overuse (plantar fasciitis), and irritated nerves under the heel. Rubbing from poorly fitted shoes, inflamed connective tissue (bursitis), or an inflamed tendon (Achilles tendon) most frequently cause pain behind the heel.
Podiatric Deformities
Orthotics are customized shoe inserts that can balance many foot deformities, correct misalignments, reduce foot pain, and make walking more comfortable.
