General Orthopedics Procedures

Tendon repair surgery is performed to repair a torn or ruptured tendon and restore normal function and movement to the joint. It is usually performed by arthroscopy. An arthroscope is a thin, pencil-like device fitted with a camera and a light source.

A musculoskeletal evaluation is a physical examination performed by your doctor to assess the health of your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and other associated tissues that are part of the musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal evaluations help your doctor to get a clearer understanding...

Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out joint, typically due to arthritis or injury, is replaced with an artificial joint or prosthesis. The goal of joint replacement surgery is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and enhance the quality of life for individuals who have severe joint problems.

Arthroscopic surgery, also known as arthroscopy, is a surgical procedure to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint using a specialized instrument known as an arthroscope. An arthroscope is a flexible fiberoptic tube that contains a small lens or camera and a lighting system to magnify and illuminate structures inside a joint.

Cartilage preservation techniques can be defined as surgical measures employed to restore deteriorating joint cartilage in order to prevent or delay joint replacement surgery such as knee and hip replacement. Articular cartilage is the white tissue lining the end of bones where these bones connect to form joints.

Fracture surgery is a procedure to fix broken (fractured) bones and to hold them in place using advanced equipment. Though fractures can heal without surgery, in certain situations surgery is necessary for proper alignment and healing. You should not eat or drink 6 hours before the surgery.

Fracture repair is a procedure performed to heal broken (fractured) bones using conservative or surgical treatment methods. This procedure mainly focuses on the reduction of the fracture and holding the fractured ends of the bone in the proper position during the healing process to ensure normal function after the fracture heals.

Articular or hyaline cartilage is a smooth tissue that covers the bone surfaces in a joint helping in smooth bony interactions during movements of the joint. This tissue has a reduced capacity to repair itself because it has no direct blood supply.

The articular surfaces of the body’s joints are lined by hyaline cartilage, a smooth tissue that serves as a shock absorber and allows easy movement of the bones within the joint. Normal wear-and-tear or injury can damage and cause defects in the cartilage, resulting in irregular articular surfaces...

Ultrasound-guided joint aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure in which a sterile needle and syringe are used to drain fluid in the joint (arthrocentesis) under ultrasound guidance. This procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance for accurate placement of the needle into the joint spaces.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive (no cutting of skin and no introduction of any medical device in the body) method of treating soft tissue injuries. Extracorporeal means outside the body. Shock wave is a short energy wave with high intensity, traveling faster than sound.
