  1. Orthopedic Surgery

  2. Orthopedics is a branch of surgery that deals with the conditions of the musculoskeletal system

  3. It is an organ system which gives ability to move muscles and skeletal systems. Orthopaedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical methods Orthopedics cure varied conditions such as degenerative diseases, tumors, sports injuries, congenital disorders and muscle skeletal trauma

  4. Surgeries Hand surgery Shoulder and elbow surgery Total joint reconstruction Pediatric orthopedics Foot and ankle surgery Spine surgery Musculoskeletal oncology Surgical sports medicine Orthopedic trauma

  5. Symptoms Attempts tocorrect problems that arise in the Skeleton and its attachments Ligaments and tendons Problems of the nervous system Injury of the spine Occur at birth Through injury (hand, wrist, shoulder, knee and etc.) Result of aging. They may be acute or chronic, as in many problems related to aging.

  6. Diagnosis • Digital X-rays - a method for measuring bone mineral density they provide larger, clearer images that result in a more accurate diagnosis. • Computed tomography (CT) scan-  is a medical imaging procedure that utilizes computer-processed  X-rays to produce tomographic images of specific areas of the body. It is integrated to show bones and soft tissue with greater detail and clarity. It isused to visualize injuries to bones and surrounding soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

  7. Diagnosis • Fluoroscopy - is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient. Fluoroscopy is used during surgery, most often when repairing fractures or operating on the spine. • Electrodiagnostic testing – is a method of obtaining information about diseases by measuring the speed and degree of electrical activity within the nerves and muscles of body parts.

  8. Diagnosis • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) –is a medical imaging technique used to visualise internal structure of body in detail • Blood tests - to examine your psychological and biochemical statues, to determine infections present, or how a specific organ is functioning in your body

  9. Work Involved Much of the work involves adding foreign material to the body in the form of screws, wires, pins, tongs, and prosthetics to hold damaged bones in their proper alignment or to replace damaged bone or connective tissue

  10. Risk in surgery • Risk of excessive bleeding • Infection • Clotting of blood • Neurologic diseases • Allergic reaction to anaesthesia • Damage to nerves or to the spinal cord

  11. Rehabilitation • Medication • Exercises • Restore movement • Physical therapy • Massage therapy • Prevent injury and infection • Nutrition and diet

  12. Results • Normal result depends upon individual age and general health • Abnormal result include persistent pain, swelling, redness, drainage or bleeding in the surgical area, surgical wound infection resulting in slow healing, and incomplete restoration of pre-surgical function.
