This specialty also focuses on cancers that start in the bone, also known as “bone cancer” or ” bone tumor”. Orthopaedic oncologists team up with other specialists, such as radiologists and surgeons, to provide complete care for patients with these types of cancer.

Shoulder and Elbow Surgery

Shoulder and elbow surgery is performed to repair or replace bone and other tissues in the shoulder and elbow. Open surgery and arthroscopic surgery are used to treat arthrosis, trauma-related diseases and rotator sheath diseases.

Arthrosis-Calcifications

Arthrosis, commonly known as calcification, is caused by wear and tear on the joints.

Extremity Surgery

Extremity surgeries are generally performed to correct the difference in length between the limbs. The most common extremity surgeries are arm and leg lengthening surgeries.

Hip Fractures

A hip fracture is when the enarthrodial joint of the hip is broken. The ball may come out of its socket due to a fall or other trauma. The most common symptom of a hip fracture is pain in the upper thigh, groin and hip. Other symptoms include difficulty walking, limping, difficulty standing up.

Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery

Hand and upper extremity surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder diseases, injuries and deformities.

Cervical Disc Hernia

A cervical disc hernia is a condition where the neck tissues are weakened. These tissues are called ligaments and provide neck stability. A cervical disc herniation can be caused by many factors, including injury, accident or vigorous physical activity. Symptoms of a cervical disc herniation include pain, weakness, stiffness and difficulty bending or turning the head.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine is bent to one side. It can be mild or severe. Scoliosis is usually diagnosed in children, but it can also occur in adults. The curvature of the spine is visible from the front and back of the person’s body. The spine bends to one side, which can cause a person’s shoulders and hips to bend in that direction.

Kyphosis

Kyphosis is a medical condition causing the spine to bend too much. It is also known as a hunchback. Kyphosis may be caused by different factors including genetics, injury or osteoporosis. It can also be a symptom of other conditions such as arthritis or scoliosis. Even though it is not life-threatening, it can cause some problems in the upper body, causing pain in the neck and shoulders.

Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common problem that occurs when the knee joint is overused or caused by injuries. Knee pain is a common health problem that can be caused by many factors. An injury, arthritis or other problems can cause pain in the knee. The most prevalent type of knee pain is osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition of the joints. This type of arthritis usually progresses with age and can cause swelling and stiffness of the joint.

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to see inside the knee joint and remove loose pieces of cartilage, bone or other material that may be causing pain. This procedure is performed to diagnose and treat various conditions such as a torn meniscus, osteoarthritis or a broken kneecap.

Shoulder Tear

The shoulder joint allows an wide range of motion, but this also means it can be easily injured. Shoulder tears can be caused either by tears in the muscles or ligaments around the joint or tears in the labrum, a ring of cartilage that covers the inner edge of the shoulder socket.

Meniscus Tear

There are two types of meniscus tears: traumatic and non-traumatic. Traumatic means that there has been an injury to the knee joint, causing a tear in the meniscus, while non-traumatic means that there is no injury to the knee joint, but instead there may be inflammation or arthritis that will damage this cartilage.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder syndrome is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It is caused by inflammation of the tissue around the shoulder joint. Frozen Shoulder Syndrome (FS) is a condition that affects the joints in your arm, most commonly the shoulder joint, causing pain and stiffness.
