The Orthopedic Clinic

Shoulder surgeries encompass a range of procedures designed to address various shoulder conditions, each tailored to meet individual patient needs. Rotator Cuff Repair is a common surgery for repairing torn tendons in the shoulder, essential for restoring function and alleviating pain in patients with rotator cuff injuries. Shoulder Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique, uses a small camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat a variety of shoulder problems, including tissue repair. For more severe conditions like advanced arthritis or significant joint damage, Shoulder Replacement Surgery is performed, where the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial one, greatly improving mobility and comfort. Additionally, Labral Repair and SLAP Repair focus on fixing tears in the shoulder’s labrum, a ring of cartilage that helps stabilize the joint, a procedure often necessary after dislocations or due to degenerative conditions. Each of these surgical interventions plays a critical role in managing and resolving shoulder issues, enhancing the quality of life for patients with shoulder ailments.

When considering treatment options for hip-related issues, it’s essential to understand the most common surgical procedures offered by orthopedic specialists. Total Hip Replacement, a widely performed surgery, involves replacing a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic one, significantly reducing pain and improving mobility, particularly in cases of severe arthritis or injury. For younger, more active patients, Hip Resurfacing is an alternative that preserves more bone and is often easier to revise. It involves capping the femoral head with a metal covering, rather than replacing it entirely. Hip Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique, addresses various internal hip joint problems, such as labral tears and impingement, through small incisions using an arthroscope. Lastly, Hip Fracture Repair is crucial for treating hip fractures, with methods ranging from internal fixation using hardware to partial hip replacements, depending on the fracture’s nature and severity. Each of these procedures is tailored to meet individual patient needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for those suffering from hip-related ailments.

For those suffering from knee issues, our orthopedic services offer advanced surgical solutions tailored to individual needs. Total Knee Replacement is a transformative procedure for patients with severe arthritis or significant knee damage, where the damaged parts of the knee are replaced with high-quality artificial components, restoring function and alleviating pain. For injuries to the meniscus, a critical cushioning cartilage in the knee, we provide Meniscectomy or Meniscus Repair, depending on the nature and extent of the damage. This surgery either repairs the torn meniscus or removes the damaged part to relieve pain and improve mobility. For patients with damage confined to a specific area of the knee, Partial Knee Replacement offers a less invasive alternative to total knee replacement. This procedure preserves much of the natural knee structure, leading to a more natural knee function post-surgery. Each of these procedures employs state-of-the-art techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes, helping our patients regain their mobility and quality of life.

Arthroscopic surgeries are minimally invasive procedures commonly used in orthopedics to diagnose and treat joint problems. An arthroscope, a small camera, is inserted into the joint through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to view the joint area on a screen and perform surgery with minimal tissue damage.

Sports injuries can range from minor ailments like sprains and strains to more severe injuries requiring surgical intervention. Also, you don’t need to be an athlete to have a sports injury.

• Hip Fractures: Common in the elderly, often requiring surgical repair or replacement.
• Wrist Fractures: Such as fractures of the distal radius (Colles’ fracture), often needing surgery to realign and stabilize the bones.
• Ankle Fractures: Involving bones like the tibia, fibula, or talus, which may require surgery for proper alignment and healing.
• Tibial Shaft Fractures: These are often serious injuries that usually need surgical fixation.
• Femur Fractures: Including both the femoral neck and shaft fractures, commonly treated with surgical fixation.
• Spinal Fractures: Depending on location and severity, some spinal fractures may need surgical stabilization.
• Clavicle (Collarbone) Fractures: In cases of severe displacement, surgery may be required to align and fix the bone.
• Humerus Fractures: Both proximal (near the shoulder) and distal (near the elbow) humerus fractures can require surgery.
• Pelvic Fractures: Severe pelvic fractures often need surgical intervention for stability and alignment.
• Patellar Fractures: These may require surgery if the pieces of bone are displaced.
• Scaphoid Fractures: In the wrist, these fractures are tricky and often need surgery to heal properly.
• Foot Fractures: Such as calcaneus (heel bone) or metatarsal fractures, which may require surgical treatment.
• Olecranon Fractures: Fractures of the bony tip of the elbow, which often require surgery for proper healing.
• Acetabular Fractures: Fractures of the socket of the hip joint, which can require complex surgical repair.
