Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgeries involve addressing the musculoskeletal conditions such as acute injuries, acquired or congenital disorders, overuse conditions of the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. This surgery is recommended when the nonsurgical options haven’t been effective. But in case of emergencies, surgery is the first option considered.

The common conditions of the musculoskeletal system are arthritis, spinal stenosis, herniated intervertebral discs, fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, or bone tumours.

The various types of orthopedic surgeries include anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, knee replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, knee arthroscopy, spinal surgery, shoulder arthroscopy, laminectomy, ankle repair, spinal surgeries, joint fusion, trigger finger release, clubfoot, etc.
