Dr. Fracchia recently preformed a LIVE telecast of a Total Knee Replacement done through a small, quad sparing incision with the aid of Computer Navigation.  He is considered one of the world leaders in this technique, and has co-authored the operative technique for the Minimally Invasive Navigated Columbus Total Knee Arthroplasty.  He has presented this technique and taught hundreds of surgeons in this country, and in Europe.  Recently, he completed an instructional video for surgeon training, and has designed a smaller implant for use in the MIS technique.

He is also using Computer Navigation for Arthroscopically Aided Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions.

Dr. Fracchia merged with Dr. Legouri in 1998, and together they founded Long Island Bone and Joint. He is the President of LIB&J.  His practice is limited to Orthopaedic Surgery, and operates primarily at St. Charles Hospital and J.T. Mather Hospital; and occasionally at Southampton Hospital.

He provides complete, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art orthopaedic care, including Total Joint replacements, Sports Medicine, and Fracture Care for all ages. He believes that although there is a place for surgery, many patients can be treated non-operatively with casting or bracing, physical therapy, medication, or time. He has helped thousands of patients return to normal, fun filled, and active lives through operative and non-operative management of their orthopaedic problems.
