Orthopedic additional procedures information
Herniated disk
A herniated disk occurs when part of the nucleus protrudes through the outer ring of the disk, resulting in neck or lower back pain and numbness. Non-surgical treatments such as therapy and medication are typically recommended by specialists. If the pain persists, surgery may be suggested. The surgical procedure involves making a small incision in either the lumbar or cervical area of the spine to remove the herniated portion of the disk. In certain cases, the entire disk may need to be removed along with a bone graft.
Bone fracture repair
A bone fracture occurs when a bone experiences significant impact, force, or stress. Fractures are commonly caused by falls, accidents, or medical conditions that weaken the bones. The treatment for a fracture depends on its severity, and it typically involves the use of a cast or external fixation to restrict movement and realign the bone to its normal position.

Benefits of getting orthopedic procedures

Orthopedic procedures offer a range of advantages, particularly due to their minimally invasive nature. Here are some of the key benefits associated with these types of surgeries.
Reduces pain and increases mobility
The orthopedic specialist focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Their goal is to prevent, diagnose, and treat conditions in these areas, helping patients alleviate pain and enhance their mobility. This improvement in mobility not only makes daily activities more enjoyable but also enhances the overall quality of life.
Smaller incisions
Orthopedic procedures often involve smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery, which helps minimize the risk of blood loss. These smaller incisions offer several advantages, including reduced scarring, faster healing, and a lower risk of infection. Additionally, smaller incisions generally result in less post-operative pain and discomfort for patients.
Less down time
Reduced recovery time is a notable advantage of minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries. Patients typically experience a shorter period of post-operative healing compared to traditional procedures. In addition, many patients report a noticeable reduction in pain following the surgery. Another positive aspect is the shorter hospital stay associated with these procedures, which can have a significant impact on the overall cost of the treatment.
