Orthopaedic Procedures encompass a wide range of surgical interventions aimed at treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Common orthopaedic procedures include arthroscopy, joint replacement surgery, fracture fixation, spinal surgeries, and ligament reconstructions.
Arthroscopy involves minimally invasive techniques using a small camera to visualize and address issues within joints, such as the knee or shoulder. Joint replacement surgeries, like hip or knee replacements, are performed to alleviate pain and restore function in cases of severe joint degeneration. Fracture fixation procedures involve the stabilization of broken bones using devices like plates, screws, or intramedullary nails. Spinal surgeries address conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or deformities through techniques like laminectomy, fusion, or disc replacement. Ligament reconstructions, often performed on the knee, aim to restore stability after injuries, particularly involving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Rehabilitation and postoperative care are integral components of orthopaedic procedures, contributing to optimal recovery and functional outcomes. Advances in surgical techniques, materials, and technology continue to enhance the effectiveness and safety of orthopaedic procedures.
