General Acute Trauma
This refers to injuries that are sudden and severe, such as those sustained in car accidents or falls. These injuries can affect bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Orthopedic surgeons who specialize in this area are trained to diagnose and treat such injuries. In the case of fractures, the treatment can range from casting and splinting to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) which is a surgical
procedure to realign the broken bones and fix them in place with screws, plates, or rods. In case of ligament or tendon injuries, the treatment may involve surgery to repair or reconstruct the damaged tissue.
Hand Surgery
It involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the hand, wrist, and forearm.
This can include injuries to tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, as well as conditions such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hand surgery may involve the use of various surgical procedures such as tendon repair, nerve decompression, or joint replacement. For example, in the case of carpal tunnel syndrome, the surgeon may release the compression on the median nerve in the wrist through an endoscopic or open surgery, which can help to alleviate pain and improve hand function.
Hand Reconstruction
Hand Reconstruction is a subspecialty of hand surgery that focuses on repairing and reconstructing the hand and upper extremity after injury or congenital deformities.
This may involve the use of microsurgery, tissue transfer, and other techniques to restore function and appearance to the affected area. For example, in case of a congenital deformity such as syndactyly (webbed fingers), the surgeon may perform a surgical procedure to separate the fused fingers and reconstruct the missing bones, tendons, and nerves to restore normal hand function.
Sports Injuries
Sports Injuries are injuries that occur as a result of participating in sports or other physical activities.
Common examples include sprains, strains, and fractures. Orthopedic surgeons who specialize in sports injuries are trained to diagnose and treat such conditions. Treatment may involve nonsurgical options such as physical therapy and rehabilitation, or surgical options such as arthroscopy (minimally invasive procedure) or open surgery to repair or reconstruct the damaged tissue.
Joint Reconstruction
Joint Reconstruction involves surgical procedures to repair or replace damaged or diseased joints. This can include total joint replacement, such as knee or hip replacement, or arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive procedure to repair damage to the joint.
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal, plastic or ceramic. This procedure can help to relieve pain and improve function in patients with arthritis or other conditions that have severely damaged the joint.
Pelvis & Acetabular Reconstruction
Pelvis & Acetabular Reconstruction deals with the surgical reconstruction of the pelvis and acetabulum (the part of the hip bone that forms the socket of the hip joint) to treat fractures and other injuries of the hip and pelvis.
This may involve using internal fixation (screws, plates, rods) or external fixation devices, or bone grafting, to repair and stabilize the affected area. In case of pelvic fractures, the surgeon may use screws, plates or rods to hold the bones together while they heal. In case of acetabular fractures, the surgeon may use a combination of internal and external fixation to repair the bones and hold them in the correct position while they heal.
