ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Orthopedic surgeries encompass a broad range of procedures aimed at treating musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, and disorders.

Recovery times can be influenced by factors such as the complexity of the surgery, the patient’s overall health, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Patients undergoing orthopedic surgery should follow their orthopedic surgeon’s guidance for optimal healing and rehabilitation.

Here are some common orthopedic surgeries:

Total Joint Replacement (e.g., Knee or Hip Replacement): Removal of damaged joint surfaces and replacement with artificial implants.

Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat joint issues, such as torn ligaments or damaged cartilage.

Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine, often performed for conditions like spinal disc degeneration or spinal deformities.

ACL Reconstruction: Surgical repair or reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, commonly performed after sports-related injuries.

Rotator Cuff Repair: Surgical repair of the torn or damaged tendons in the shoulder’s rotator cuff.

Meniscus Repair or Removal: Surgical intervention to address tears or damage to the meniscus in the knee.

Fracture Repair (Open Reduction Internal Fixation – ORIF): Stabilization of broken bones using screws, plates, or other devices.
