Orthopedic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint issues. A tiny camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted through small incisions to visualize the joint's interior. Surgeons can repair ligaments, remove damaged tissue, and address various joint problems with this technique. Arthroscopic surgery offers advantages such as smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery, making it a preferred option for many patients.

Biceps tendon repair is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing injuries to the biceps tendon, which connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder or elbow joint. Commonly performed as an arthroscopic procedure, it involves reattaching a torn or ruptured biceps tendon to its original attachment site using sutures or anchors. This surgery aims to restore strength and function to the affected arm, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage. Rehabilitation following surgery is crucial for optimizing outcomes and restoring full range of motion and strength in the affected limb.

Plantar fascia surgery, also known as plantar fasciotomy, is a procedure aimed at treating chronic plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded to conservative treatments. During the plantar fascia surgery, the plantar fascia ligament is partially cut or released from its attachment to the heel bone. This aims to reduce tension and relieve pain in the plantar fascia. It's typically performed as a minimally invasive procedure using techniques such as endoscopic or percutaneous plantar fascia release. Recovery involves physical therapy and a gradual return to weight-bearing activities.

Foot and ankle tendon repair involves surgical reconstruction of damaged or ruptured tendons in the foot and ankle. It aims to restore function, stability, and mobility to the affected area, typically using techniques such as tendon grafting, suturing, or tendon transfer. Rehabilitation is essential post-surgery to optimize outcomes and regain strength and flexibility in the affected tendons.

Foot corrective surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at correcting structural abnormalities, deformities, or chronic conditions affecting the foot. This may include bunionectomy for bunions, hammertoe correction, or flatfoot reconstruction. These surgeries aim to alleviate pain, improve function, and restore alignment in the foot, ultimately enhancing mobility and quality of life for patients.

A knee meniscectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a portion of the meniscus, the C-shaped cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee joint. It is typically done to alleviate symptoms caused by a torn meniscus, such as pain, swelling, and locking of the knee. During the procedure, the damaged portion of the meniscus is trimmed or removed, allowing for smoother movement within the knee joint.

Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the integrity and function of a torn meniscus rather than removing it. It involves suturing the torn edges of the meniscus back together, promoting healing, and preserving as much of the meniscus as possible. This procedure is typically performed for tears that occur in the vascularized outer edge of the meniscus, where there is a better blood supply to support healing.

Meniscus repair is preferred over meniscectomy in younger patients or those with specific tear patterns, as it may help to prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis in the knee joint.

Shoulder surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at addressing injuries, degenerative conditions, or structural abnormalities affecting the shoulder joint. Common types of shoulder surgery include arthroscopic procedures such as rotator cuff repair, labral repair, or subacromial decompression, as well as open surgeries like shoulder replacement or stabilization for conditions such as dislocations or instability. These surgeries are performed to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve stability and mobility in the shoulder joint.

Total joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing a damaged or diseased joint with a prosthetic implant. It is commonly performed in joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility in individuals with severe arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or joint injuries. During the procedure, the damaged bone and cartilage are removed, and the prosthetic components are implanted to recreate the natural anatomy and function of the joint.

Total joint replacements such as total knee replacements can significantly improve quality of life, allowing patients to return to activities they enjoy with reduced pain and increased mobility. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are often integral parts of the recovery process, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and function in the replaced joint.
