About Orthopedic Surgery
Musculoskeletal problems affect many Americans. These conditions, which involve the muscles, bones, and joints of the body all come under the umbrella of orthopedic conditions. Musculoskeletal problems can arise from a wide range of different causes, including sports or workplace-related accidents and injuries, degenerative conditions, or, in some instances, they can be present at birth.
How it Works
Orthopedic conditions can be problematic and, if left untreated, may lead to disabilities that inhibit a person’s ability to perform day-to-day tasks, such as washing the dishes, cooking dinner or even having a comfortable walk. These conditions can even impact a person’s ability to be productive at work.
For these reasons, it is important to properly care for your musculoskeletal system and, when something goes wrong, to have the problem promptly and expertly diagnosed and treated. If you have a musculoskeletal condition and have not been able to obtain relief through conservative treatment, surgery could be an option or, depending on the severity of the condition, it might become a necessity in order to prevent the condition from progressing and causing irreversible nerve or organ damage.
Benefits of Orthopedic Surgery
Some musculoskeletal problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or one of the many other diseases that affect the body’s musculoskeletal system may require surgery.
Orthopedic Surgery Procedures
American Medical Care is experienced in caring for medical tourism patients that require orthopedic surgery or procedure. Our network of professional orthopedic surgeons are skilled at the following procedures:
Joint replacement
Joint Replacement is a surgery that removes damaged joint tissues and replaces them with new ones created by medical experts. Replacing joints can cause relief and reduced pain to the joints.
Knee replacement
Knee Replacement usually starts with an X-ray to see which part of the knee needs repair. Knee Replacement replaces your real joint with metal ones.
Hip replacement
Hip Replacement replaces damaged hip joints with a metal or plastic component. This is considered to be the last option when other methods of healing have failed.
Spine Surgery
Spine Surgery helps relieve back pain. This surgery is usually the last option when other healing methods have failed.
Rotator cuff repair
Rotator cuff repair involves the repairing of the shoulder joints. This surgery is recommended for people whose shoulder joint had a large tear and feeling loss of function.
Arthroscopic surgery
Arthroscopic Surgery involves having surgery on damaged joints. These joints can be any parts of the human body ranging from knee, hips to the shoulder.
