They also treat patients for sports injuries, back pain, ruptured discs, spinal stenosis, bone tumors, carpal tunnel, hand arthritis and hand injuries, club foot, bow legs, hip dysplasia, orthopaedic trauma, limb lengthening, achilles tendon injuries, bunions, foot and ankle injuries, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Dr. Boiardo speaks Spanish in addition to English so that he can see a wide variety of patients throughout his practice. As a joint replacement pioneer and leader in the field, Dr. Boiardo has brought innovative surgical techniques to Northern New Jersey that represent a new era in joint replacement technology. Dr. Boiardo is also a philanthropist who works hard to give back to his community.
