Orthopaedic surgeons would perform various treatment surgeries according to the needs of the patients. The followings are common orthopaedic medical services.
Orthopaedic treatments
Phalanges and toes degeneration
Bone fractures and joint dislocation
Osteoporosis and fractures in elderly
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Sports or occupational strains or trauma
Tendon injuries, muscle strains, bursitis and ruptured soft tissues in joints
Orthopaedic Surgeries
Arthroscopy: the use of visualizing instruments to assist in diagnosis and surgeries by visualizing joint conditions
Fusion surgery: similar to welding metals, bony fragments are “fused” together by bone graft or internal fixators to maintain alignment of bones
Internal fixation: the use of metal plates, pins and screws to fix bony fragments into desired position during rehabilitation of bone fracture
Arthroplasty (partial, total replacement): replacement of inflamed or damaged joints with artificial joints
Reduction: reposition of abnormal bone fragments and restoration of bone alignment
Soft Tissue Repair (Tendon and ligament): repair soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments
Sports Injuries
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Meniscectomy or meniscal repair
ACL reconstruction
Bankart repair (For recurrent dislocation of shoulder)
Fractures
Clavicle fracture fixation
Shoulder (Proximal humerus fracture)
Elbow fracture fixation
Tibia fibula fracture fixation
Scaphoid fracture fixation
Finger fracture fixation
Wrist joint fracture fixation
Bone graft for carpal nonunion
Calcaneal fracture fixation
Ankle fracture fixation
Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) –Rheumatoid & other synovectomy
