What is orthopaedic surgery?
Orthopaedic surgery is the surgery targeting the musculoskeletal system and the restoration of the locomotive function. It focuses on the bones and articulations, cartilages and other soft tissues: muscles, tendons, nerves, all the way through the central nervous system.
What is its purpose?
The purpose of orthopaedic surgery is to relieve aches and functional troubles caused by an accident, a disease, a congenital malformation or sports related lesions.
Who can benefit from orthopaedic surgery?
Orthopaedic surgery concerns all age groups. This discipline treats sports traumatisms, rheumatisms and arthritis, tumors, infections…
Before going forward with the surgery, the RocklandMD surgical team will thoroughly evaluate your condition to see if the procedure is suitable for you.
What are the advantages?
The main advantage is certainly the absence of pain in the articulation, as well as an improvement of mobility and flexibility. The colossal progress of orthopaedic surgery over the course of the last 20 years enables secure interventions and prompt healing. Notably, the endoscopic technique reduces discomfort and accelerates recovery.
Are there any risks?
All surgeries can have complications and possible risks. In the case of orthopaedic surgery, they are relatively rare and inconsequential. Pain can be experienced during the hours following the surgery, although it is generally tolerable. Hematomas, infections, stiffness can occur. Also, certain people are incapable of undergoing surgeries due to health problems, notably cardiac troubles.
Your surgeon will discuss with you the possible risks during your evaluation.
