ORTHOPAEDICS:
Orthopaedics is a medical speciality that specialises in the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of bone, joint, muscle, ligament, tendon, and nerve defects. These are the components of the musculoskeletal system.
The musculoskeletal system of your body is a complex network of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves that allow you to move, work, and be active. Orthopaedics, which was once devoted to the care of children with spinal and limb deformities, today treats patients of all ages; from new-born’s with clubfeet to young athletes requiring arthroscopic surgery to elderly adults with arthritis.
Orthopaedic surgeons or orthopaedists are doctors who specialise in this field.
ROLE OF THE ORTHOPEDIST:
Orthopaedists utilise medical, physical, and rehabilitative approaches, as well as surgery, and are involved in all aspects of musculoskeletal health care. It is a specialisation with enormous scope and variation. Orthopaedic surgeons treat a wide range of diseases and conditions, including fractures and dislocations, torn ligaments, sprains and strains, tendon injuries, pulled muscles and bursitis, ruptured discs, sciatica, low back pain, and scoliosis, knock knees, bow legs, bunions, and hammer toes, arthritis and osteoporosis, bone tumours, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy.
- Orthopedists are experts in the following areas:
- Diagnosis of your injury or disorder
- Medication, exercise, surgery, and other treatment plans
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis is not a single disease; it refers to joint discomfort or disease, and there are over 100 different forms of arthritis and related disorders. Arthritis affects people of all ages, races, and genders, and it is the biggest cause of disability in the United States. Although it is not a disease of ageing, several kinds of arthritis are more common in older people than in younger people. Swelling, discomfort, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion in joints are common arthritis symptoms. Symptoms range from moderate to severe and may appear and disappear. Some may remain stable for years, although symptoms might grow and worsen over time. Severe arthritis can cause persistent pain, make daily activities difficult, and make walking and climbing stairs painful and arduous. Arthritis can also result in long-term joint abnormalities. These may be obvious, such as knobby finger joints, although the damage is often only visible on X-rays. Arthritis can damage the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys, and skin in addition to the joints.
BONE GRAFTING:
Bone grafting is used to mend bones after a serious fracture or when they fail to heal properly. Grafting can also be used to relieve persistent pain by fusing two adjacent bones. There are numerous ways available, including allograft, autograft, and synthetic bone grafts.
By applying chemicals to gaps in weak, damaged, or inadequate bones for increased support, this surgical method improves your body's natural bone-making process. Improving bone strength and stiffness by stimulating tissue development.
Fracture:
When a shattered bone punctures the skin, it causes an open or complex fracture. Vehicle accidents, falls, or sports injuries are the most common causes of fractures. Two more causes of bone weakness are low bone density and osteoporosis. A bone fracture occurs when there is a complete or partial break in the continuity of bone tissue. Fractures can occur in every bone in the body. A bone can fracture in a variety of ways. A closed fracture, for example, is a bone break that does not injure surrounding tissue or tear through the skin.
PELVIC FRACTURE:
The pelvis is a strong ring of bones placed near the base of the spine. Pelvic fractures are rare, accounting for just around 3% of all adult fractures. Most pelvic fractures are caused by a violent, high-energy incident, such as a vehicle accident. Because the pelvis is close to important blood veins and organs, pelvic fractures can result in severe bleeding and other injuries that necessitate immediate medical attention.
A lower-impact event, such as a little fall, may be enough to induce a pelvic fracture in an older individual with weaker bones. The degree of the damage determines the treatment for a pelvic fracture. While lower-energy fractures can typically be treated conservatively, surgery to repair the pelvis and restore stability so that patients can resume their regular activities is usually required for high-energy pelvic fractures.
