Orthopedics Surgery

Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. 

Hip replacement is a surgery that involves removing the damaged hip joint and replacing it with an artificial joint. The artificial joint, called a prosthesis, is made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe hip pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fracture.

Knee replacement surgery is a procedure that involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial joint. The artificial joint, also called a prosthesis, is made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Knee replacement surgery is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or knee fracture.

Spinal fusion surgery is a procedure that involves fusing two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine. The procedure is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe back pain due to spinal fractures, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis.

Hip resurfacing is a surgery that involves removing the damaged surface of the hip joint and replacing it with a metal cap. This procedure is typically recommended for younger patients who suffer from hip pain due to osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia.

Ankle joint replacement is a surgery that involves removing the damaged ankle joint and replacing it with an artificial joint. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe ankle pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankle fracture.

Shoulder replacement is a surgery that involves removing the damaged shoulder joint and replacing it with an artificial joint. The artificial joint, called a prosthesis, is made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Shoulder replacement surgery is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe shoulder pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or shoulder fracture.

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that involves inserting a small camera into the knee joint. The camera allows the surgeon to see inside the joint and repair any damage. Knee arthroscopy is typically recommended for patients who suffer from knee pain due to torn ligaments, cartilage tears, or loose bodies in the joint.

Cervical discectomy is a surgery that involves removing the damaged disc in the neck and replacing it with a bone graft. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who suffer from severe neck pain due to herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis.

Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure that involves releasing the pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. The procedure is typically recommended for patients who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a condition that causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist.

Rotator cuff repair is a surgery that involves repairing the torn tendons in the shoulder. The procedure is typically recommended 

for patients who suffer from rotator cuff injuries, which can be caused by repetitive use, aging, or trauma.

Robotic assistance in orthopedic surgery has revolutionized the way surgeries are performed. Robotic assistance provides surgeons with better precision, accuracy, and control during surgery. Robotic systems can be used in a wide range of orthopedic surgeries, including hip replacement, knee replacement, spine surgery, and shoulder surgery.

One of the most advanced robotic systems used in orthopedic surgery is the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology. This system allows surgeons to create a 3D model of the patient's joint before surgery. The surgeon can then use the robotic arm to precisely position the artificial joint in the correct location during surgery. This technology provides patients with faster recovery times, less pain, and better outcomes.

In addition to robotic assistance, our partner orthopedic clinics also offer genetic testing to ensure the success of orthopedic surgery. Genetic testing can help identify patients who are at higher risk of complications or have a genetic predisposition to certain conditions. This information can be used to create a personalized treatment plan for the patient and improve the outcomes of the surgery.

Orthopedic surgery is a field that has made tremendous advancements over the years, providing patients with improved outcomes and faster recovery times. The use of robotic assistance and genetic testing has further improved the precision and accuracy of these surgeries, making them safer and more effective than ever before. If you are considering orthopedic surgery, it is important to discuss all of your options with your doctor and choose a clinic that has the expertise and technology to provide you with the best possible care.
