Orthopedic surgery to treat common bone conditions:

The body's skeleton helps the body move, holds muscles, and maintains normal body posture. If any injury or disease occurs in any part of the skeleton, this will have a severely negative impact on the body’s health and its ability to perform its functions, in addition to the severe pain that will result from the injury. Accordingly, this will have a devastating impact on a person’s quality of life and comfort, and since every part of the human skeleton is an important part, any injury to which he may be exposed cannot be neglected. If any injury occurs, treatment must be expedited, and among the treatments offered is orthopedic surgery, and among the most important orthopedic surgeries that we provide in treating the following:

Bone and spine fracture surgery

It is a surgical intervention aimed at returning the skeleton to its normal position if it suffers from any deformity or if it is fractured in any area. During bone or spine fracture surgery, the bones are restored and stabilized after they have been exposed to fractures.

Knee joint replacement

Knee joint replacement surgery is a very precise surgery, during which the worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint. The goal of the surgery is for the patient to regain his ability to move easily without any pain.

Hip joint replacement

Hip replacement surgery is a process during which a damaged hip joint that cannot be reconstructed is removed and replaced with an artificial one so that the patient regains his natural ability to move.

Shoulder joint surgery

Shoulder joint surgery is often performed when the shoulder joint is fractured or dislocated. The surgery aims to restore the joint and reattach it to its natural place.

Endoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is not a therapeutic surgery in itself, but rather a diagnostic surgery, as doctors use a millimeter scope to enter the body cavity and diagnose the condition in a way that helps in correctly diagnosing the condition and thus choosing the ideal treatment for it.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and cartilage surgery

This surgery is resorted to if the anterior cruciate ligament or cartilage is torn, where surgical intervention is performed and the cruciate ligament or cartilage is replaced with supportive tissue that connects the muscles to the bones.
