Orthopedics and Traumatology-47336
Product Code: 8
Orthopedics is the science that diagnoses and treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Traumatology, on the other hand, is a branch of science that performs the diagnosis and treatment of fractures and dislocations that develop after trauma.
Orthopedics and Traumatology are divided into sub-branches.
Sports surgery: Shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle injuries that occur after sports injuries are treated. Meniscus tears in the knee, anterior, posterior cruciate ligament and inner and outer meniscus tears, cartilage damage, cartilage transplants, recurrent shoulder dislocations, shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle pain are treated with closed and open surgeries. In our hospital, all kinds of joint open and closed surgeries are treated by our specialist orthopedics.
Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. This causes the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out. The skin over the bunion might be red and sore.
Wearing tight, narrow shoes might cause bunions or make them worse. Bunions can also develop as a result of the shape of your foot, a foot deformity or a medical condition, such as arthritis.
Although bunions often require no medical treatment, see your doctor or a doctor who specializes in treating foot disorders (podiatrist or orthopedic foot specialist) if you have:
Ongoing big toe or foot pain
A visible bump on your big toe joint
Decreased movement of your big toe or foot
Difficulty finding shoes that fit properly because of a bunion
If conservative treatment doesn't relieve your symptoms, you might need surgery. Surgery is not recommended for cosmetic reasons; only when a bunion causes you frequent pain or interferes with your daily activities.
There are many surgical procedures for bunions, and no one technique is best for every problem.
Surgical procedures for bunions can be done as single procedures or in combination. They might involve:
Removing the swollen tissue from around your big toe joint
Straightening your big toe by removing part of the bone
Realigning one or more bones in the forefoot to a more normal position to correct the abnormal angle in your big toe joint
Joining the bones of your affected joint permanently
Blount’s Disease (Parantez Bacak)
Blount’s disease, also known as tibia vara, is a growth disorder that affects the growth plates of the shin bone (tibia). Blount’s disease causes a child’s lower leg to turn inward and bend to resemble the curve in the letter C.
Infants and toddlers naturally have bowed legs (a curve to their legs), but the bend in their legs straightens out when the child begins to walk. Children diagnosed with Blount’s disease have a distinct curve in their legs that doesn’t resolve as the child ages and gets worse as their bones grow.
Prosthetic Surgeries
Orthopedics is the science that diagnoses and treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Traumatology, on the other hand, is a branch of science that performs the diagnosis and treatment of fractures and dislocations that develop after trauma.
Orthopedics and Traumatology are divided into sub-branches.
Knee Replacement: Knee replacement surgery — also known as knee arthroplasty (ARTH-row-plas-tee) — can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.
Hip Replacement: During hip replacement, a surgeon removes the damaged sections of the hip joint and replaces them with parts usually constructed of metal, ceramic and very hard plastic. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps reduce pain and improve function.
Also called total hip arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery might be an option if hip pain interferes with daily activities and nonsurgical treatments haven't helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage is the most common reason to need hip replacement.
Shoulder Replacement: Shoulder replacement removes damaged areas of bone and replaces them with parts made of metal and plastic (implants). This surgery is called shoulder arthroplasty (ARTH-row-plas-tee).
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The round head (ball) of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket in the shoulder. Damage to the joint can cause pain, weakness and stiffness.
Shoulder implants are available in a few different shapes and a range of sizes. Replacement options include partial and total using either anatomic or reverse implants.
