Orthopedics
Orthopedics is a medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. This field employs a range of treatments, including surgical and non-surgical approaches like medication, physical therapy, and surgery, to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and restore function. Orthopaedics plays a vital role in improving the quality of life for those with musculoskeletal conditions.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint problems. A camera (arthroscope) is inserted through a small incision to view the joint and perform surgical procedures. It’s used for torn cartilage, ligament injuries, and joint inflammation.
Knock Knees Correction
Knock knees correction is a surgical procedure to correct the alignment of legs in individuals with genu valgum, where knees touch while feet are apart. It’s recommended when non-surgical treatments fail and the condition causes pain or mobility issues.
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Foot and ankle surgery addresses problems and conditions affecting the feet and ankles, including bunion removal, ankle replacement, and Achilles tendon repair. These surgeries alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve function, often using advanced technology.
Total Joint Replacement Surgery
Total joint replacement surgery is a procedure where a damaged joint, such as the hip, knee, or other joints, is replaced with a prosthetic device. It’s recommended for severe joint pain or limited mobility due to conditions like arthritis. These surgeries are performed by skilled surgeons in specialized hospitals.
Coccyx Excision
Coccyx excision, or coccygectomy, removes the tailbone to relieve chronic pain due to injury or medical conditions. It’s considered when non-surgical treatments are ineffective, and requires qualified surgeons.
Orthopedic Prosthesis
Orthopedic prosthesis involves replacing joints or bones with artificial implants to restore mobility. It’s used for joint disease or injury and significantly improves patients’ quality of life.
Osteotomy
Osteotomy involves cutting and reshaping bones to correct deformities, relieve joint pain, or improve function. It’s recommended when non-surgical treatments don’t work, and is performed on various bones like knee, hip, and ankle.
Quadricepsplasty
Quadricepsplasty releases the quadriceps muscle to improve knee mobility, typically for patients with limited knee flexion due to muscle contracture or scarring. It’s part of a larger orthopedic treatment plan and requires post-operative rehabilitation.
Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction Surgery
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee joint using small incisions and a camera to visualize and repair the damaged ligament.
Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair Surgery
Arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery fixes a torn meniscus in the knee joint using small incisions and a camera to view and repair the damaged tissue.
Arthroscopic Mosaicplasty
Arthroscopic mosaicplasty treats articular cartilage defects in the knee by transplanting healthy cartilage tissue from a non-weight bearing area to the damaged region.
Limb Lengthening Surgery
Limb lengthening surgery increases the length of bones in arms or legs, using techniques to stimulate new bone growth. It’s recommended for injuries, birth defects, or medical conditions causing stunted growth.
