Joint Replacement Surgery involves removing a damaged or diseased joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. This procedure is commonly performed for severe arthritis or joint damage.

  1. Hip Replacement: Replaces the damaged hip joint with an artificial one, often used to treat arthritis or fractures.
  2. Knee Replacement: Replaces the damaged knee joint with an artificial implant, typically used for osteoarthritis or severe knee injuries.
  3. Shoulder Replacement: Replaces the damaged shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant, used for arthritis or rotator cuff injuries.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) to visualize, diagnose, and treat joint problems through tiny incisions.

  1. Knee Arthroscopy: Used to diagnose and treat conditions such as meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and ligament injuries.
  2. Shoulder Arthroscopy: Helps to diagnose and repair issues such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and impingement syndrome.
  3. Hip Arthroscopy: Addresses conditions such as labral tears and impingement issues within the hip joint.

Fracture Repair involves the surgical correction of broken bones to restore their normal alignment and function.

  1. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): Involves surgically exposing the fracture site and using metal plates, screws, or rods to stabilize the broken bones.
  2. External Fixation: Uses an external frame and pins inserted into the bone to stabilize fractures, often used for complex or compound fractures.

Ligament Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or replace damaged ligaments, commonly performed for sports injuries or trauma.

  1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: Reconstructs the torn ACL in the knee using a graft taken from the patient’s own body or a donor.
  2. Rotator Cuff Repair: Repairs torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder using sutures or anchors to reattach the tendons to the bone.

Tendon Repair involves surgical intervention to fix torn or damaged tendons, which are critical for joint movement and stability.

  1. Achilles Tendon Repair: Reconnects a ruptured Achilles tendon, often through an incision at the back of the ankle.
  2. Flexor Tendon Repair: Repairs tendons in the fingers or hand that are damaged, typically due to lacerations or injuries.

Spinal Surgery addresses various spinal conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and deformities.

  1. Discectomy: Removes part of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve, often performed for severe back pain or sciatica.
  2. Spinal Fusion: Joins two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain caused by degenerative conditions or injuries.
  3. Laminectomy: Removes a portion of the vertebra called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often used for spinal stenosis.

Osteotomy involves cutting and repositioning bone to correct deformities or realign joints.

  1. Hip Osteotomy: Realigns the hip joint to correct issues such as dysplasia or arthritis.
  2. Knee Osteotomy: Adjusts the alignment of the knee to relieve pressure on a damaged part of the joint, commonly used for osteoarthritis.

Carpal Tunnel Release is a procedure to alleviate pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, often performed for carpal tunnel syndrome.

  1. Open Release: Involves making an incision in the wrist to cut the transverse carpal ligament and relieve nerve compression.
  2. Endoscopic Release: Uses a small camera and instruments to perform the release through tiny incisions.

Shoulder Stabilization surgery addresses recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability.

  1. Bankart Repair: Repairs tears in the labrum (cartilage) of the shoulder that cause instability.
  2. Capsular Shift: Tightens the shoulder capsule to reduce excessive movement and prevent dislocations.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage protecting the joints breaks down over time. Symptoms

  1. Joint Pain: Persistent or intermittent pain in affected joints.
  2. Stiffness: Especially noticeable in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
  3. Swelling: Swelling around the affected joints.
  4. Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the joint through its full range.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation. Symptoms Joint Pain and Swelling: Especially in the hands, wrists, and knees.

  1. Morning Stiffness: Lasting for more than an hour after waking.
  2. Symmetrical Joint Involvement: Affecting joints on both sides of the body.
  3. Fatigue: General feeling of tiredness and malaise.

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones that are more prone to fractures. Symptoms include:

  1. Bone Fractures: Frequent fractures from minor falls or injuries.
  2. Back Pain: Pain due to vertebral fractures.
  3. Loss of Height: Gradual reduction in height over time.
  4. Postural Changes: Stooped posture or a hunched back.

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc bulges out and presses on a nerve. Symptoms

  1. Back Pain: Pain that radiates from the back to the buttocks or legs.
  2. Sciatica: Pain, tingling, or numbness in the leg and foot.
  3. Weakness: Weakness in the leg or foot muscles.
  4. Numbness: Sensation of numbness or tingling in the affected area.

Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, often due to repetitive stress or overuse. Symptoms

  1. Joint Pain: Pain near the affected tendon.
  2. Tenderness: Sensitivity or tenderness around the tendon.
  3. Swelling: Swelling in the area where the tendon attaches to the bone.
  4. Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the affected joint.

Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between tissues. Symptoms

  1. Joint Pain: Pain in the affected area, often worsening with movement.
  2. Swelling: Swelling over the bursa.
  3. Tenderness: Increased sensitivity around the inflamed bursa.
  4. Limited Movement: Reduced range of motion in the affected joint.

Fractures refer to breaks in the bone due to trauma or stress. Symptoms :

  1. Sharp Pain: Severe pain at the site of the fracture.
  2. Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising around the broken bone.
  3. Deformity: Visible deformity or misalignment of the affected limb.
  4. Difficulty Moving: Inability to move the affected area.

Ligament injuries, such as sprains, occur when ligaments are stretched or torn. Symptoms

  1. Pain: Pain at the site of the injury.
  2. Swelling: Swelling around the injured ligament.
  3. Bruising: Discoloration around the affected area.
  4. Instability: Feeling of instability or weakness in the joint.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Symptoms

  1. Numbness and Tingling: Sensation of numbness or tingling in the fingers, particularly the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
  2. Pain: Pain in the wrist and hand, often extending to the arm.
  3. Weakness: Weakness in the hand and difficulty gripping objects.
