Orthopedic Surgery Includes Joint Injuries
The field of Orthopedic Surgery includes treatment, both surgical and non-surgical, of injuries to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, sacroiliac joint, hips, knees ankles, and feet. Orthopedic surgeons typically attempt to treat joint injuries with conservative treatment including physical therapy, medications, injections, and other modalities. Surgery is typically considered the treatment of last resort.
Recently, many orthopedic surgeries that have traditionally been done with open surgery are now being done arthroscopically.
Joint replacement surgeries are becoming more and more common. That includes Total Knee Replacement (TKA) and Total Hip Replacements (THA). Total shoulder replacements, once very rare, are also becoming more common.
Orthopedic Surgery Includes Neck and Back Injuries.
Orthopedic Surgeons also treat neck and back injuries, including fractured vertebrae and ruptured or herniated intervertebral discs. Spinal decompression surgeries such as laminotomy/foraminotomy involve surgically creating a larger opening of the lamina to relieve pressure on a pinched nerve. An interbody fusion involves removal of the intervertebral disc and replacement with bone or another device. Discectomy also involves the removal of the intervertebral disc and replacement with bone fusion and possibly a metal plate. A recent development in Orthopedic Surgery of the spine involves endoscopic surgery, or microdiscectomy, which is a minimally invasive procedure through a small tube which does not involve traditional surgical opening.
