Orthopedic surgery abroad

Your orthopedic surgeon will tailor the techniques he or she uses to repair your bones and tissue to your distinctive needs.

Orthopaedic surgery or orthopaedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. If musculoskeletal injuries become too severe, they may require surgical intervention to reconnect muscles, ligaments, tendons or fuse fractured bones back together.

There are many types of orthopedic surgery, including:

• Replacement: providing an artificial replacement for a damaged bone or joint
• Reduction: taking out shards of bone after a fracture to allow for better healing
• Resection: removing some or all of a bone, joint, or area of tissue to relieve pressure and discomfort
• Arthroscopy: using a small computerized camera instrument to inspect and diagnose joint issues
• Lavage: cleansing an injured joint with antibiotics and saltwater to prevent infection and speed recovery
• Arthrodesis: fusing two adjacent bones together
• Release incision: a procedure in which an overly tight ligament, tendon, or muscle is incised to alleviate pressure and tension
• Fixation: using pins, screws, needles, or other biocompatible metal instruments inside or outside of the skin to reposition damaged bones or joints
• Debridement: removal of injured, dead, or diseased cells to allow for remaining tissue to heal
• Aspiration: a procedure in which the orthopedist uses a thin needle to remove bone marrow fluid for analysis
• Distraction osteogenesis: a technique utilized to reconstruct and elongate bones

Who should undergo orthopedic surgery?

You may qualify for orthopedic surgery if:

Discomfort or mobility issues resulting from your bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, or muscles interfere with your daily life and activities.

• Physical therapy, prescription medications, compression, icing, rest, or other non-surgical treatments have not sufficiently treated your orthopedic issue.
• Your x-rays, MRIs, or other diagnostic images reveal that your joints are significantly shifted, your bones are fractured, or your tendons, muscles, or ligaments are torn or at risk of tearing.
• You are in good general health, with no immune-compromising illnesses. You must be able to safely go under anesthesia and heal properly to be a good candidate for orthopedic surgery.
• You may be able to undergo orthopedic surgery if you are willing to cease smoking and drinking for a specific period of time before and after your procedure.
• Orthopedic surgeries provide excellent results to most patients, but there are risks involved and you may not experience a complete resolution of discomfort or mobility issues.
• You are an athlete that would benefit from sports medicine services.
