Not every orthopedic problem requires surgery. Not every difficult injury is beyond repair. Before a treatment plan is built, the true source of the problem has to be identified — completely, not partially. That is where this practice starts.
When others see limitations, Dr. Steve Mora believes in providing realistic hope and honest options. Rehabilitation. Advanced non-surgical treatments. Biologic therapies. And when surgery is the right answer, a reconstructive standard built on his decades of experience and a commitment to surgical excellence that does not negotiate the outcome downward.
The goal is the same in every case: restore function, restore quality of life, and get you back to doing what matters most.
Living.
Whenever possible, Dr. Mora repairs damaged tissue to restore normal anatomy and function. When repair is not possible, a reconstruction or replacement may be the better solution. The goal is not simply to operate—it is to choose the approach that gives each patient the best opportunity to recover and return to the life they want to live.
This practice was built for people who refuse to let an injury define their future.
What unites them isn’t their profession or athletic ability. It’s their determination to recover, regain confidence, and return to living life on their terms.
The PecFlexFix™ Grafting Technique
The chronic pec repair most patients are told doesn’t exist.
The PecFlexFix™ grafting technique was developed by Dr. Mora specifically for chronic pectoral tears — injuries most surgeons decline to repair. Patients have traveled from seven countries for this procedure. If you have been told your pec tear is permanent, that answer deserves a second opinion from the surgeon who built the technique to prove otherwise.

Published Surgical Technique: PecFlexFix™ Reconstruction
Dr. Steve A. Mora is the lead author of a recently published surgical technique in JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques, Allograft Reconstruction Technique for Chronic Pectoralis Major Tears. The publication details the PecFlexFix™ grafting technique, an allograft reconstruction developed for challenging pectoralis injuries in which the remaining native tissue cannot be reliably restored directly to its normal attachment. The technique is designed to recreate the connection between the pectoralis muscle and the humerus while restoring appropriate tension, contour, and functional anatomy.
This peer-reviewed publication represents the culmination of Dr. Mora’s experience treating complex and ultra-chronic pectoralis major injuries, including tears that may have been present for years, myotendinous tears, and failed previous repairs. The goal is not simply to “repair a torn tendon,” but to reconstruct the pectoralis muscle-tendon unit and restore the chest as closely as possible to its natural anatomy and function.

Healthcare Thought Leader
The thinking that happens in this practice doesn’t stay in the operating room.
Dr. Mora is a published author, frequent podcast guest, and sought-after voice on the topics of repair-first surgery, diagnostic depth, and the future of sports medicine. He has appeared on television, contributed to peer-reviewed publications, and built a growing presence on LinkedIn, where he publishes clinical perspectives that reach both patients and fellow surgeons.
His positions are specific, defensible, and worth the conversation — on air, in print, and in any room where the standard of care in orthopedic surgery is being debated.
