surgical options in neurology
Total Joint Replacement: Surgical procedure to replace a damaged or arthritic joint with an artificial implant, commonly performed for hip, knee, and shoulder joints.
Arthroscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat joint conditions, such as torn ligaments, cartilage damage, and synovitis.
Spinal Fusion Surgery: Surgical procedure to join two or more vertebrae in the spine to stabilize the spine, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage in conditions such as spinal fractures, scoliosis, or degenerative disc disease.
Fracture Repair: Surgical procedure to realign and stabilize broken bones using metal plates, screws, or rods to promote proper healing and restore function.
ACL Reconstruction: Surgical procedure to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee by replacing it with a graft, typically harvested from another part of the patient’s body or a donor.
Rotator Cuff Repair: Surgical procedure to repair torn tendons in the shoulder (rotator cuff) using sutures or anchors to reattach the tendon to the bone.
Carpal Tunnel Release: Surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel, alleviating symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hip Resurfacing: Surgical procedure to replace the damaged surface of the hip joint’s ball and socket with metal implants, preserving more of the patient’s natural bone compared to total hip replacement.
Osteotomy: Surgical procedure to realign or reshape bones to correct deformities and improve joint function, commonly performed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, or genu valgum (knock-knee).
Limb Lengthening Surgery: Surgical procedure to lengthen bones in the arms or legs using external fixators or internal implants, often performed to correct limb length discrepancies or deformities.
