We handle the imaging. We handle the casting and splinting. You get an expert diagnosis and a clear plan, all in one visit.

The Only Place in Lawrence for Same-Day Visit Casting and Splinting
If your injury needs to be immobilized, OrthoKansas Same-Day Care is the only place in Lawrence where you can walk in and have it cast or splinted on the spot — by an orthopedic specialist, not a general urgent care provider. No driving to Kansas City. No multi-stop process. Everything handled in one visit.
What We Treat
OrthoKansas Same-Day Care is for non-emergent bone, joint, and muscle injuries — fractures, sprains, dislocations, sports injuries, and reinjuries of prior conditions.
If you are experiencing severe trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, chest pain, a head injury, or any life-threatening emergency, please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
How It Works
If you have an acute injury, stop by Monday–Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and be seen by an orthopedic specialist.
We order your imaging. X-rays are handled on site. No leaving and coming back.
You leave with a plan. Casting, splinting, bracing or a referral for follow-up care — whatever your injury needs, handled before you go.
What It Costs
Billed as a standard office visit. Lower co-pay, same orthopedic expertise. We accept most major insurance plans. Call us before you come in if you have questions about coverage at 785-843-9125.

Kenneth B Filsinger, PA-C
Orthopedics
“I get to fix patients and that's the whole thing. You see somebody when they're hurt. It's also great that you can see them walking downtown, and then when they see you they’ve got a smile on their face because they feel better. That's what it's all about.”
Ken Filsinger received his Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Athletic Training from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He later received his Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Wayne State University. Ken works with Dr. Richard Wendt at OrthoKansas and brings more than 20 years of experience working in orthopedics, specializing in total joints, general orthopedics and sports medicine, as well as spine and rehab.
What advice does Ken have for his patients?
“Make sure you tell us what's really going on,” he said. “Even if it's embarrassing or it's something that you may not want to share, tell us because it's probably something we need to know. And if you're in pain, call. Don't be at home and be miserable. Don't let pain interfere with your life. Let's see if we can make it better.”
