Dr. Vraney has a particular interest in degenerative conditions of the cervical and lumbar spine, including disc disease and spinal stenosis. He is well-versed in the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Many patients are often surprised to learn that the majority of problems can be treated without surgery. Consequently, Dr. Vraney emphasizes the educational component of each patient interaction, as it allows patients to become maximally involved with their medical decisions.
When not taking care of patients, Dr. Vraney enjoys spending time with his wife and their two boys. His hobbies include golf, travel, home improvement tasks, and following his beloved Chicago sports teams.

Aaron Mull, MD, is one of the orthopaedic surgeons practicing at Orthopaedic Associates, Inc, which has locations in Henderson, Kentucky, and Newburgh and Evansville, Indiana.
As a hand surgeon with training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, the types of conditions Dr. Mull treats and surgeries performed are more varied than the norm. He manages diseases of the hand and wrist that one may commonly think of, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger, as well as traumatic injuries to the hand, wrist, and forearm. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Mull also treats a wide variety of conditions that affect the entire body, including scar revision or complex microsurgery.
With a special interest in reconstructive hand surgery, Dr. Mull has undergone training in both reconstructive plastic surgery and an orthopaedic hand fellowship which has given him a well-rounded understanding of complex problems of the arm, wrist, and hand. He treats various ailments, from arthritis to peripheral nerve injuries.
His goal as a board-certified surgeon in plastic surgery by the ABPS –with a subspecialty certification in hand surgery – is to provide complete care to the patient and maximize functional outcomes. Every patient and every hand is unique and requires a different care plan. Patients will leave the office feeling more informed about their conditions and understand the treatment options for their specific issue, which often includes both surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
