Total Knee Prosthetics

Total knee prosthetics (total knee arthroplasty) is a surgical technique that involves the replacement of damaged areas of the knee joint with synthetic pieces (plastic and metal pieces)

Total Hip Prosthetics

Total hip prosthetics is the surgical technique and a treatment option that involves the replacement of damaged bone (joint) and cartilage with hip prosthetics. Total hip prosthetics, originating in 1960s, is one of the most successful and common procedures in orthopedic surgery. Most of the patients living with hip prosthetics are aged 50 to 80.

Total Ankle Prosthetics

Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is also known as total ankle prosthetics. This surgery is used to treat ankle arthritis and replace the damaged areas of the ankle with synthetic implants. Ankle prosthetics are mostly done under general anesthetic. The surgeon incises the ankle to see the joint. After that, the damaged bone is removed and replaced with some metal and plastic parts. A night of hospital stay is required.

Total Shoulder Prosthetics

Total shoulder prosthetics or arthroplasty is used for the treatment of shoulder joint arthritis or degenerative joint diseases. The aim of the total shoulder prosthetics surgery is to reduce pain and revert the shoulder’s motion and function back to normal. This procedure includes replacement of arthritic ball with a synthetic metal ball. If conservative treatments like medications fail to reduce the pain, you may consider this treatment.

Replacement of Elbow, Wrist and Wrist Joint 

The aim of the joint prosthetics surgery known as arthroplasty is to treat arthritis symptoms in order to regain joint function and motion. This surgery may be viable in cases like tumors or major trauma. In this surgical procedure, the eroded joints are replaced with synthetic metal and plastic constructs. Also, this surgery becomes viable if non-surgical methods like physical therapy and medication treatment cannot arthritis pain.

Meniscus Repair

Meniscus tear is the most common knee-cartilage damage.
Everyone playing sports that involve friction are subjected to meniscus tears. Meniscus is the soft elastic buffer area that resides between femur and leg bones.

Posterior Cruciate Ligaments (PCL) Repair 

Posterior cruciate ligaments is one of the most important ligament on the leg. Injuries related to PCL may occur in different ways including a heavy impact to the leg bone or falling down on a bent knee. Double PCL reconstruction has become much effective on independent surgery results scored subjectively by patients for regaining knee stability with stable and PCL stress x-rays.

Achilles Tendon Repair

Achilles tendon is the biggest tendon in the body. It is the tissue that connects heel bone to the leg muscles and is used when walking, running or jumping. While Achilles tendon can endure strong pressures when jumping or running, it is prone to injuries. “Ripping of the tendon” is the tendon ligaments separating and ripping, and thus, the muscle cannot fulfill its normal function. After the injury, function of Achilles tendon’s function is of critical importance.  In order to regain normal muscle functions leg muscles are needed to be reconnected to the heel bone.

Herniated Disk Surgery

The disk are constructs located between bones that supports the spine and absorbs the shocks subjected to the spine. If a disk herniates out of its capsule, it is named “herniated disk”. This situation may happen anywhere on the spine but mostly, it happens near the waist area. Many reasons like lifting something wrong or gaining excessive amount of weight can create a herniated disk. If non-surgical procedures like painkillers or physical therapy cannot treat this issue, some surgical treatments like laminectomy or discectomy can be recommended.

Laminectomy

Laminectomy, also known as decompression surgery is a procedure that involves removing the lamina (vertebral arch) in order to enlarge spinal canal and reduce the compression on nerve roots. Laminotomy utilizes a small incision to remove a small part of lamina. This surgery is effective on the treatment of spinal stenosis.

Spinal Fusion

Spinal fusion, which is also called arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure that involves permanently joining the vertebrae (little bones of the spine) together. This surgery is effective on treating most of spinal disorders. Spinal fusion may reduce elasticity but can only lighten the symptoms of various spinal disorders such as stenosis, herniated disks, tumors, scoliosis or spinal weakness.

Surgical Treatment of Scoliosis (Spine curvature)

During surgery vertebrae are fused together to form one solid bone. This stops the oblong vertebrae in the spine from growing and also prevents bad curvature. All spinal fusion procedures utilize some amount of bone that is called bone graft to encourage growth of the fusion. Generally, small bone grafts are positioned on the gaps between the fusion points. Bones, then, start to grow similarly to fractured bones.
Metal rods are used for facilitating the stabilization of the spine until the fusing process is complete. Rods are connected to the spine via screws, hooks or wires.
