Orthopedics

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, which include bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopedic treatments aim to improve patient mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life.

Common Orthopedic Procedures and Treatments:

Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder problems such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, and labral tears. The procedure involves inserting a small camera called an arthroscope into the shoulder joint, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint and perform the necessary repairs with small instruments.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery: ACL surgery is performed to repair or reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, which is commonly injured during sports activities. The procedure typically involves using a graft to replace the torn ligament, restoring stability and function to the knee.
Total Hip Replacement: Total hip replacement, or hip arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint made of metal, ceramic, or plastic components. This procedure is often performed to relieve pain and improve function in patients with severe arthritis or hip fractures.
Knee Replacement Surgery: Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial joint. This procedure is commonly performed to treat severe arthritis, alleviate pain, and restore function in the knee.
Hip Replacement Surgery: Similar to total hip replacement, hip replacement surgery involves replacing the hip joint with an artificial implant. This procedure is often necessary for patients with hip joint damage due to arthritis, injury, or other conditions.
Adipose Derived Stem Cell Therapy: Adipose derived stem cell therapy uses stem cells harvested from the patient’s own fat tissue to promote healing and regeneration in damaged tissues. This treatment is commonly used for orthopedic conditions such as joint pain, tendon injuries, and cartilage damage.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Surgery: PCL surgery is performed to repair or reconstruct the posterior cruciate ligament in the knee. Similar to ACL surgery, this procedure often involves using a graft to replace the torn ligament, helping to restore stability and function to the knee.
Scoliosis Treatment: Scoliosis treatment aims to correct or manage the curvature of the spine. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the curve and may include bracing, physical therapy, or surgery to correct the spinal alignment.
