Orthopedic Surgeries

Orthopedic surgeries include a wide range of procedures aimed at treating skeletal system problems or injuries. Here are some common types of orthopedic surgeries:

1. Joint Replacement Surgery
• Examples include hip or knee replacement. This is used to treat severe arthritis and joint deterioration.
2. Fracture Fixation
• Involves stabilizing fractures using plates, screws, or pins. This can be performed as a closed surgery (through the skin) or an open surgery.
3. Bone Resection
• Removal of damaged or diseased bone tissue due to infections or tumors.
4. Correction of Bone Deformities
• Procedures such as spinal deformity correction or foot deformity correction.
5. Bone Grafting
• Used to enhance healing in areas with bone deficiencies.
6. Reconstructive Surgeries
• Includes procedures like rebuilding damaged or broken bones.
7. Arthroscopic Surgeries
• Minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, where small instruments and a camera are used to diagnose and treat joint problems.
8. Peripheral Nerve Surgery
• Treatment for damaged nerves caused by injuries or compression.

Each surgery is chosen based on the patient’s medical condition and specific needs. A thorough evaluation by the medical team is essential to determine the best approach.
