Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic surgery and orthopaedics (alternatively spelled orthopedic surgery or orthopedics) is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

The name was derived from the two ancient Greek words of 'Orthos', meaning 'straight', and 'paidion', meaning child. Although orthopedics brings to mind the treatment of traumatic or wear and tear issues, more often it is congenital skeletal abnormalities like scoliosis of the spine and other bone deficiencies which are treated in the field.
As we must move for daily activities, the musculoskeletal system is one of the most intensely used systems of the body, resulting in problems of its wear and tear as a person ages. Additionally, those people who play a large amount of sport may experience injuries such as rotator cuff tears or meniscal problems in their knees. Traumas are also another major cause of problems, with major impacts often bringing about serious orthopedic problems.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery procedure performed with the arthroscope - a form of the endoscope driven into the joint through a microincision for the treatment or diagnosis of joint damage and orthopedic disorders. Advantages include:

  • short stay at the hospital (1, maximum 4 days);
  • fast examination - 30 - 60 minutes;
  • reliable accurate diagnostics;
  • minimally invasive - insignificant damage to the tissues;
  • shortened rehabilitation period.

The advantage of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery is that the joint is not open completely. Instead, when performing an arthroscopic surgery, only two small holes are made - one for inserting the arthroscope, another one is for the surgical instruments. This reduces the process of the postoperative recovery and increases the chance of success for the surgery, since the degree to which the connective tissues are damaged is much lower compared to the open surgery. Most often the arthroscopy is performed on knee joints, shoulder joints, elbow joints, radiocarpal joints, hip joints, ankle joints, or foot joints.

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical manipulation that allows the accurate diagnosis of knee diseases by helping the real-time examination of the intra-articular structures and a variety of therapeutic surgical manipulations in the knee cavity.

Arthroscopy of the shoulder joint is performed in cases when there are various injuries, traumas and pathologies in the shoulder joint causing the patient unpleasant sensations, pain and movement disorders that cannot be treated with conservative methods - physiotherapy, injections or medication adm...
