Orthopedic Specialist

Orthopedic care is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic specialists are trained to manage a variety of issues, from common ailments like fractures and sprains to more complex conditions such as arthritis and spine disorders. With a multidisciplinary approach, orthopedic care encompasses both surgical and non-surgical interventions tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.

Knee - Replacement :

Purpose: Knee replacement surgery addresses severe knee joint issues, commonly caused by arthritis or degeneration.
Procedure: Damaged portions of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants, aiming to restore function and reduce pain.
Indications: Recommended when conservative treatments fail, and the knee condition significantly impairs daily life.
Mobility Improvement: The primary goal is to enhance mobility and alleviate discomfort, enabling individuals to regain an active lifestyle.
Recovery: Involves a post-surgical recovery period with rehabilitation and physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility.

Orthopaedic Trauma :

Purpose: Provide specialized care for injuries to the musculoskeletal system resulting from accidents, falls, or trauma.
Treatment: Includes fracture management, joint dislocation reduction, soft tissue repair, and wound management.
Acute Care: Focus on immediate stabilization, pain management, and surgical interventions when necessary.
Rehabilitation: Comprehensive rehabilitation program aims to restore strength, mobility, and function post-injury.

Fracture Treatment

Diagnosis: Fractures are diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans to determine the type and severity of the injury.
Stabilization and Reduction: Immediate stabilization is crucial to prevent further damage, often achieved through splints or casts. Displaced fractures may require reduction, either manually or surgically, to realign bone fragments.
Surgical Intervention: Complex or severe fractures may necessitate surgical treatment, involving internal fixation with screws, plates, or rods to stabilize the bones and promote proper healing
Rehabilitation: After initial treatment, rehabilitation programs are initiated to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapy plays a key role in preventing stiffness and improving functional outcomes.
Follow-up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and address any complications that may arise during the recovery process

Spine Surgery :

Evaluation and Diagnosis: Surgeons assess patients’ medical history and imaging results to diagnose spinal conditions accurately.
Surgical Options: Various procedures like decompression or fusion surgery are discussed based on the diagnosis and patient’s needs.
Surgical Procedure: Surgeons perform the chosen procedure, often utilizing minimally invasive techniques for quicker recovery.
Recovery and Rehabilitation: Patients undergo post-operative care, including pain management and physical therapy, to regain strength and mobility.
