Orthopaedic surgery deals with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The goal is to restore function and alleviate pain through both surgical and non-surgical methods. Common procedures include:
Joint Replacement: Replacing a damaged joint with an artificial one, such as a hip or knee replacement.
Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and instruments to diagnose and treat joint issues.
Fracture Repair: Realigning broken bones and stabilizing them with hardware like plates, screws, or rods.
Spinal Surgery: Addressing issues related to the spine, including disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or scoliosis.
