Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery

Key Components of Orthopedic and Spine Surgery Facilities:

1. State-of-the-art surgical suites with advanced equipment and technology to perform orthopedic and spine surgeries.
2. Facilities typically include imaging services such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
3. We have outpatient clinics for non-surgical consultations, follow-up appointments, and conservative treatments.
4. In-house physical therapy and rehabilitation services to support post-surgical recovery and enhance overall musculoskeletal health.
5. Dedicated for specific orthopedic subspecialties, such as joint replacement, sports medicine, hand surgery, and spine surgery.
6. Comprehensive preoperative assessments to ensure patients are medically fit for surgery and to optimize their overall health.
7. Facilities may offer both inpatient and outpatient services, depending on the nature and complexity of the surgery.

Common Orthopedic and Spine Surgeries:

1. Total Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty): Total joint replacement involves the surgical removal of a damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. Common joints for replacement include the hip, knee, and shoulder.
2. Spinal Fusion: Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine. It is often performed to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, or fractures.
3. Laminectomy: Laminectomy is the surgical removal of the lamina, the back part of a vertebra. This procedure is typically done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often caused by conditions like spinal stenosis.
4. Discectomy: Discectomy is the removal of a portion of a herniated or damaged intervertebral disc. This surgery aims to relieve pressure on spinal nerves and alleviate symptoms such as pain and numbness.
5. Hip Resurfacing: Hip resurfacing involves replacing the damaged surface of the hip joint with a metal implant. It is an alternative to total hip replacement and is often considered for younger, more active patients.
6. ACL Reconstruction: ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn ACL in the knee. This is common in individuals who have experienced sports-related injuries.
7. Rotator Cuff Repair: Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure to mend torn tendons in the shoulder. It is often performed arthroscopically and is common in cases of rotator cuff injuries.
8. Spinal Disc Replacement: Spinal disc replacement involves replacing a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc with an artificial disc. This procedure aims to maintain motion in the spine while alleviating pain.
9. Carpal Tunnel Release: Carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. It is commonly done to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and alleviate symptoms like numbness and tingling.
10. Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty:  Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive procedures to treat vertebral compression fractures. These involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize and alleviate pain.

These surgeries should be discussed thoroughly with an orthopedic surgeon, and the decision to undergo a specific procedure is based on individual health conditions and needs.
