Total Hip Replacement (THR)
Total hip replacement surgery removes and replaces both the ball and socket of the hip with prostheses. Various hip replacements systems are available on the market, which include metal or ceramic balls at the top of the femur that fits into a cup. The prostheses are generally held in place using bone cement or screws, which are referred to as ‘cementless’ implants.
THA (Total hip arthroplasty) provides reliable outcomes for patients’ suffering from end-stage degenerative hip osteoarthritis (OA), specifically pain relief, functional restoration, and overall improved quality of life. Once considered a procedure limited to the elderly, low-demand patients, THA is becoming an increasingly popular procedure performed in younger patient populations.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts. The knee is made up of the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap).
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy to help diagnose and treat a variety of joint conditions, most commonly those affecting the Knee,Shoulder,Elbow,Ankle,Hip,Wrist.
Arthroscopy is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor.
For knee arthroscopy only two small incisions are made, one for the arthroscope and one for the surgical instruments to be used in the knee cavity. This reduces recovery time and may increase the rate of success due to less trauma to the connective tissue. It has gained popularity due to evidence of faster recovery times with less scarring, because of the smaller incisions.
Orthopedic Trauma
Orthopedic trauma is a serious injury to any part of your musculoskeletal system following a traumatic incident involving a collision or crushing force. This is especially common among car accident victims, athletes, and patients who are weak or have brittle bones.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery fixes defects you were born with, defects caused by disease and defects caused by injury. You may need, for example, a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, or hand surgery to fix congenital webbed fingers. Reconstructive surgery is different from cosmetic because it’s for medical reasons.
Deformity Correction
Deformity correction is a procedure to straighten a bone that is bent or twisted in a way that is not normal. After the bone is straightened, the arm, leg, or foot has normal alignment and function.All spinal deformities involve problems of the curve or rotation of the spine. Common adult spinal deformities are scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis.
Fracture Management
Fracture management can be divided into nonoperative and operative techniques. The nonoperative approach consists of a closed reduction if required, followed by a period of immobilization with casting or splinting. Closed reduction is needed if the fracture is significantly displaced or angulated.
