Orthopaedic

Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery — also known as knee arthroplasty can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.

In determining whether a knee replacement is right for you, an orthopaedic surgeon assesses your knee's range of motion, stability and strength. X-rays help determine the extent of damage.

Your doctor can choose from a variety of knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques, considering your age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health.

Complications After Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, like any surgery, carries risks. They include:

• Infection

• Blood clots in the leg vein or lungs

• Heart attack

• Stroke

• Nerve damage

• Signs of infection

Notify your doctor immediately if you notice:

• Fever greater than 100 F (37.8 C)

• Shaking chills

• Drainage from the surgical site

• Increasing redness, tenderness, swelling and pain in the knee

An infected knee replacement usually requires surgery to remove the artificial parts and antibiotics to kill the bacteria. After the infection is cleared, another surgery is performed to install a new knee.

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.

Diagnosis:

• X-Ray

• CT Scan

• Ultrasound

• MRI

• Blood Tests

Complications after surgery:

• Your legs may not be of equal length after the surgery.

• You must be careful not to cross your legs or not to sit too low because the joint may be dislocated.

• Pieces of fat in the bone marrow may become loose, enter the bloodstream and get into the lungs, which can cause very serious breathing problems.

• Nerves in the hip area may be injured from swelling or pressure and can cause some numbness.

• The replacement parts may become loose, break, or become infected.

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

What is Shoulder Replacement?

When a damaged or worn-out shoulder joint is replaced with artificial parts, this is called shoulder replacement surgery, which is also called shoulder arthroplasty. It is often suggested for people who have severe shoulder pain, stiffness or loss of movement because of arthritis, an injury or the joint wearing down over time. Surgery aims to restore shoulder function, lessen pain and raise the quality of life in general.

When is It Needed?

People with chronic pain and limited movement are often told to get a shoulder replacement when painkillers, physical therapy, or injections don't help. If someone has osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, severe fractures, or avascular necrosis, they may need surgery. You might want to get a shoulder replacement if it hurts to do simple things like sleep or lift your arm.

How the Surgery Works

The damaged parts of the shoulder are taken out and replaced with artificial implants that were made just for this surgery. The ball (humeral head) and sometimes the socket (glenoid) are the parts that usually break. Depending on how healthy the joint and the muscles around it are, the surgeon may do a total shoulder replacement or a reverse shoulder replacement. The surgery, which usually lasts a few hours, puts the person to sleep.

Recovery After Surgery

After surgery, most people stay in the hospital for one to two days. A sling helps the arm move, and soon after, physiotherapy starts to help build strength and mobility again. Each person recovers at their own pace but within a few weeks to months, many patients feel a lot better and can resume their normal activities. Following the rehab plan is very important for a full recovery.

Arthroscopy

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a type of surgery that doesn't require a lot of cutting and is used to find and fix problems with joints. It involves making a small cut and putting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint. The surgeon can see the inside of the joint on a screen and use special tools to do any necessary work without making big cuts. People often use arthroscopy on their knees, shoulders, ankles, elbows, wrists, and hips.

When is Arthroscopy Needed?

When a patient has joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or limited movement that doesn't get better with medication or physical therapy, doctors often recommend arthroscopy. It can help with a lot of different problems, like torn ligaments or cartilage, inflamed joint linings, loose bone fragments, and infections in the joints. It can also be used to figure out why you have joint pain or damage that doesn't show up clearly on X-rays or MRIs.

How the Procedure Works

The patient is put to sleep for the surgery. A small cut is made near the joint, and a thin tube with a camera is put in to look at how the joint is doing. If needed, more small cuts are made so that tools can be inserted to cut, remove, or fix tissues. The small cuts make the procedure less traumatic, and patients usually feel less pain and heal faster than they would after traditional open surgery.

Recovery and Benefits

Most patients can go home the same day as the procedure. The joint that was treated and how complicated the problem is will affect how long it takes to heal. A lot of people go back to their normal lives within a few days, and with the right care and physiotherapy, they usually fully recover in a few weeks. Arthroscopy has a lot of benefits, such as smaller cuts, less pain, and a quicker return to normal activities.

Why Choose Us?

Most patients can leave the hospital the same day as the procedure. The joint that was treated and how bad the problem is will determine how long it takes to heal. A lot of people go back to their normal lives within a few days, and with the right care and physical therapy, they usually get better in a few weeks. There are many benefits to arthroscopy, including smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster return to normal activities.

ACL Reconstruction Surgery

What is ACL Reconstruction?

ACL reconstruction is a type of surgery that fixes a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is one of the most important ligaments that keep the knee joint stable. Athletes and active people often hurt their ACLs when they twist, fall or hit their knees directly. If the ACL tears and the knee becomes unstable, surgery may be necessary to restore strength, function and mobility.

When is Surgery Needed?

People who have unstable knees, knees that often give way or trouble getting back to sports or other physical activities are usually told to have surgery. It is especially important for young, active people, athletes or people who have more than one ligament injury. If you don't treat a torn ACL, it can cause long-term damage to your knee, like cartilage wear and early arthritis.

How the Surgery Works

The damaged ligament is taken out and replaced with a graft from the patient's own body (an autograft) or from a donor (an allograft). Small holes are drilled into the knee bones to hold this graft in place. Most of the time the surgery is done arthroscopically, which means that the cuts are small, the healing is faster and the scars are small. The whole thing usually takes one to two hours.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

It takes time to heal after ACL surgery. Most patients go home the same day and start physical therapy within a few days to get their knees moving and strong again. It usually takes 6 to 9 months for someone to fully recover, depending on how active they are and how committed they are to rehab. Most patients can go back to sports and an active life with the right care and therapy.
