List of Treatments

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: It is a chronic, progressive disease that affects the fingers, wrists, feet, and ankles in particular, causing severe deformity and immobility by inflaming the joints.

• Sports Injuries: A sports injury includes damage to part of your body due to sports, exercise, or athletic activities. A sports injury can be acute (sudden) or chronic, which can develop over time. An orthopedic surgeon often prescribes multiple medications for the treatment of sports injuries.

• Complicated Trauma Surgery: Complex trauma surgery focuses on the injuries induced by impact force, especially on the joints. An orthopedic trauma surgeon specializes in the treatment of complicated fractures, shattered bones, and other injuries induced by traumatic occurrences.

• Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair/Excision: Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a less invasive surgical method. During this treatment, a tool called an arthroscope is placed through a small incision near the afflicted knee.

• Shoulder Resurfacing: Resurfacing is a form of shoulder arthroplasty that includes replacing the humeral joint surface with a metal covering, or cap, thereby maintaining the bone of the proximal section of the humerus.

•  Knee Replacement: A knee replacement, commonly known as knee arthroplasty or a complete knee replacement, is an operation to repair an arthritis-damaged knee. The kneecap and the caps on the ends of the bones that make up the knee joint are made of metal and plastic.

• Lower femoral Osteotomy: In a distal femoral osteotomy, the end of the femur is surgically treated by changing the form of the bone. The proximal (upper) end of the thigh bone, commonly known as the femur, is cut and aligned during this procedure.

• Revision Hip Replacement: A total hip replacement (THR) reoperation is referred to as a hip revision (sometimes known as a "revision hip replacement"). The prosthesis that is inserted during the initial surgery is completely or partially replaced during this subsequent procedure. 

• ACL Reconstruction: ACL repair is surgery to rebuild the ligament in the core of the knee. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) joins the shin bone (tibia) to the thigh bone (femur). A tear of this ligament might cause the knee to give way during physical exercise, most typically during side-step or crossover motions.

• Cemented Total Hip Replacement: A cemented hip replacement employs a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement to bond the implant surface to the bone. The bone cement generates a grout and anchors the implant by serving as an interlocking surface between the implant and the bone rather than just bonding the implant to the bone.

• Patellofemoral Replacement: Partial knee replacements like patellofemoral replacements only resurface a section of the knee. For patients with modest damage to the bone and cartilage on the underside of the kneecap, the surgery serves as an alternative to complete knee replacement.

• High Tibial Osteotomy: An operation called a high tibial osteotomy realigns the knee joint. By maintaining damaged joint tissue, this procedure may help certain patients with knee arthritis delay or avoid the need for a partial or full knee replacement.

Sciatica Treatment: Sciatica refers to discomfort, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. It is caused by damage or pressure on the sciatic nerve. The two primary surgical options for sciatica are discectomy and laminectomy. During this treatment, the surgeon removes the hurdle that exerts pressure on the sciatic nerve, whether it's a herniated disk, a bone spur, or anything else.
