Orthopaedics

Orthopedic surgery involves surgical interventions to treat injuries, deformities, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.  These surgeries aim to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance the quality of life for patients. 

1. **Knee Replacement**: Knee replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged or worn knee joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and restore function, commonly used for arthritis patients. It helps improve mobility and overall knee function.

2. **Hip Replacement**: Hip replacement surgery replaces a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant, often due to arthritis or hip fractures, providing pain relief and improved mobility. It allows patients to regain daily activity function.

3. **Shoulder Replacement**: Shoulder replacement involves replacing the damaged shoulder joint with a metal or plastic implant to alleviate chronic pain and restore shoulder movement, often used for severe arthritis or injuries.

4. **ACL Repair**: ACL repair is a surgical procedure to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, typically following sports-related injuries. It helps restore knee stability and prevent future joint damage.

5. **Microsurgery of Hand**: Hand microsurgery involves intricate surgical techniques to repair small structures such as nerves, tendons, and blood vessels in the hand and fingers. It is essential for restoring fine motor skills and function.

6. **Arthroscopy**: Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery where a camera and small instruments are inserted into a joint to diagnose or treat joint issues such as ligament tears or cartilage damage. It's commonly used for knee and shoulder injuries.

7. **Carpal Tunnel Syndrome**: Carpal tunnel surgery involves releasing the pressure on the median nerve in the wrist by cutting the ligament compressing it. This relieves symptoms like numbness, pain, and weakness in the hand.

8. **Syndactyly Surgery**: Syndactyly surgery is performed to separate fused fingers or toes, usually in children, to improve hand or foot function and appearance. It helps restore independent finger movement.

9. **Varus Valgus Surgery**: Varus valgus surgery corrects misalignment of the legs, such as bow legs (varus) or knock knees (valgus), by realigning the bones to improve walking and reduce joint stress.

10. **Dupuytren Surgery**: Dupuytren's contracture surgery releases or removes thickened tissue in the palm that causes finger contractures, allowing the affected fingers to straighten and regain movement.

Orthopedic surgery relieves pain caused by musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, improving mobility and allowing patients to perform daily activities more comfortably. These surgeries help enhance the overall quality of life.
