Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
OPEN REDUCTION INTERNAL FIXATION (ORIF)
This surgical method treats complex fractures requiring alignment correction by directly visualizing broken bones. It restores anatomy enabling proper healing especially where closed methods are inadequate.
- Indications: Severe displaced fractures involving joints , multiple fragments , or failed conservative treatments .
- Procedure details: Surgeons make an incision exposing the fracture site then align fragments followed by fixation devices such as plates , screws , nails securing bones together .
- Postoperative care: Immobilization initially followed by gradual rehabilitation improves strength while monitoring for infection signs .
- Outcomes expected: When performed timely , ORIF leads to faster recovery , restored function , minimal deformity risks .
ORIF remains pivotal in modern orthopaedics providing stability necessary for complex fracture healing optimizing patient mobility post injury .
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG) TESTING
An EMG test evaluates muscle electrical activity assisting in diagnosing nerve disorders affecting movement. It complements clinical exams when neurological symptoms overlap with orthopaedic conditions.
- Sensation prompting EMG: Numbness, weakness, muscle cramps or unexplained limb pain may warrant this study to identify nerve damage or dysfunctions like radiculopathy.
- The testing approach: Fine needles inserted into muscles record electrical signals during rest and contraction phases under controlled conditions by specialists.
- Differentiating causes: Helps distinguish between muscle disease versus nerve problems impacting muscle control aiding targeted treatment planning.
BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA SCAN)
This test measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess osteoporosis risk before fractures occur. It is simple yet highly valuable in preventive orthopaedic care.
- Who should get tested? Postmenopausal women, elderly individuals, patients with risk factors like long term steroid use or prior fractures benefit most from this assessment.
- The procedure itself: A low dose X-ray scan of the hip and spine provides quantitative BMD values within minutes at no pain to the patient.
- Interpreting results: Scores indicate normal bone health versus osteopenia (low bone mass) or osteoporosis requiring intervention.
- Treatment based on results: Lifestyle changes including diet rich in calcium/vitamin D, exercise programs or medications help improve bone strength accordingly.
This diagnostic tool empowers early detection so that appropriate measures prevent debilitating bone fractures later on.
FRACTURE MANAGEMENT
A fracture means a break in the bone which can range from a simple crack to a severe break. Proper management is vital for optimal healing and function restoration.
- Causes & symptoms: Fractures usually result from trauma such as falls or accidents causing intense pain, swelling, deformity or inability to move the affected limb.
- Diagnosis steps: Physical examination combined with X-rays confirm fracture location and severity; sometimes CT scans are needed for complex cases.
- Treatments available: Options include immobilization by casting or splinting; severe fractures may need surgical fixation using plates, screws or rods.
- Recovery expectations: Healing time varies by bone involved; physical therapy helps regain strength once stabilized.
Caring promptly for fractures reduces complications like malunion and helps patients regain mobility efficiently.
MRI IN ORTHOPAEDIC DIAGNOSIS
MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of bones and soft tissues. It plays an essential role in evaluating musculoskeletal conditions where X-rays may be insufficient.
- Symptoms prompting MRI: Persistent pain, swelling, instability, or suspected ligament and tendon injuries.
- How MRI helps diagnosis: Provides clear pictures of muscles, cartilage, ligaments, menisci, and bone marrow abnormalities without radiation exposure.
- Treatment implications: Accurate MRI findings guide appropriate surgical or conservative therapy plans tailored to individual needs.
- User experience: The scan is painless but requires stillness during the procedure which takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
MRI offers crucial insights into complex orthopaedic problems ensuring precise management strategies for better outcomes.
ARTHROSCOPY FOR JOINT ISSUES
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It allows doctors to view the inside of a joint through a small camera, helping in accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
- Symptoms and causes: Patients often have joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or limited movement due to injuries or degenerative diseases.
- Diagnosis: Arthroscopy provides direct visualization of cartilage, ligaments, and synovial tissue, offering more precise information than imaging alone.
- Treatment options: During arthroscopy, damaged tissues can be repaired or removed; it is commonly used in knees, shoulders, or wrists.
- What to expect: The procedure typically involves small incisions and local or general anesthesia, with faster recovery compared to open surgery.
This technique facilitates both diagnosis and treatment with less trauma to surrounding tissues and quicker return to daily activities.
