During hip replacement, a surgeon removes the damaged sections of your hip joint and replaces them with parts usually constructed of metal, ceramic and very hard plastic. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps reduce pain and improve function.

Also called total hip arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery may be an option for you if your hip pain interferes with daily activities and more-conservative treatments haven’t helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage is the most common reason to need hip replacement.

Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-kuh-pee) is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fibre-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor.

Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see inside your joint without making a large incision. Surgeons can even repair some types of joint damage during arthroscopy, with pencil-thin surgical instruments inserted through additional small incisions.

Risk

Arthroscopy is a very safe procedure and complications are uncommon. Problems may include:

• Tissue or nerve damage. The placement and movement of the instruments within the joint can damage the joint’s structures.
• Infection. Any type of invasive surgery carries a risk of infection.
• Blood clots. Rarely, procedures that last longer than an hour can increase the risk of blood clots developing in your legs or lungs. Read More

What is Trauma Surgery?

Surgical treatment for injuries to the musculoskeletal system, such as fractures or dislocations and soft tissue injuries in the bones, joints and their associated structures that enable movements such as ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves is Trauma Surgery.

Trauma can be low energy fractures (often seen in elderly patients) or multiple injuries caused by accidents. Bones and joint infection can sometimes require emergency treatment.

Joint Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose & treat problems inside joints by visualising. The term Arthroscopy literally means to “look within the joint”.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision and inserts types of equipment that has a small lens and lighting to magnify and clearly show the structures inside a joint.

Bone Fracture Repair

Repairing broken bones using metal screws, pins, rods or plates and holding the bone in place. Several different techniques are used depending on the location, severity and type of fracture to ensure that the bones are stable and heal correctly while maintaining function. A bone graft may also be used where the bone has been shattered.

Arthroplasty

Replacement of damaged joints completely due to damage caused by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Knee and hip replacements are more commons.

Corrective Surgery

Patella (knee-cap) realignment. These procedures correct anatomical alignment that limits function and may cause long-term problems if left untreated. This surgery is usually carried out on babies and children who suffer from congenital deformities

If you’ve struggled with back pain for any length of time, you may be wondering if spine surgery is your only treatment option. Sometimes, surgery is the only treatment. However, there’s good news. The vast majority of back problems can be remedied with non-surgical treatments—often referred to as non-surgical or conservative therapies.

Aging, improper body mechanics, trauma and structural abnormalities can injure your spine, leading to back pain and other symptoms such as leg pain and/or numbness or even leg weakness. Chronic back pain is a condition that generally requires a team of health professionals to diagnose and treat. Before resigning yourself to surgery, consider getting opinions from several spine specialists. This investment of time and information-gathering will help you make an informed treatment decision that will best support your lifestyle and desired level of physical activity.
