Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
CLOSED REDUCTION AND PERCUTANEOUS PINNING FOR WRIST FRACTURES
This technique manages certain wrist fractures without large surgical exposures by realigning broken bones externally followed by stabilizing them using pins inserted through small skin punctures under x-ray guidance. It’s an option that avoids more invasive procedures when suitable fractures occur.
- Indications & Symptoms : Fractures causing deformity accompanied by pain, swelling combined with reduced wrist range indicate potential candidates needing intervention.
- Diagnostic Approach : X-rays confirm fracture type guiding decision toward closed reduction vs. open surgery depending on bone displacement severity.
- Treatment Methodology : Under sedation/local anesthesia fracture fragments are manipulated into place then fixed temporarily using thin metal pins passed percutaneously ensuring proper alignment.
- Recovery & Expectations : Cast immobilization follows pin placement typically removed after several weeks allowing progressive wrist mobilization avoiding stiffness.
This method prioritizes preservation of soft tissues while restoring bone position thus aiding functional recovery efficiently following wrist trauma injuries .
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY FOR TENDON INJURIES
PRP therapy utilizes concentrated platelets from one’s own blood to promote healing in chronic tendon injuries. This regenerative approach represents an innovative alternative for musculoskeletal complaints resistant to standard care.
- Causative factors/indications: Tendinopathies such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis often present with persistent pain linked to overuse or degeneration of tendon tissue.
- How diagnosis is established: Clinical assessment combined with ultrasound imaging determines extent of injury guiding suitability for PRP treatment.
- Treatment process involved: Blood is drawn then spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma which is injected precisely into damaged tendons under ultrasound guidance enhancing repair mechanisms naturally.
The non-surgical nature of PRP makes it favorable for patients seeking alternatives minimizing risks associated with conventional interventions targeting tendon disorders effectively over time.
CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE
Nerve compression in the wrist known as carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness and weakness in the hand. Surgical release targets relief by decompressing the median nerve within this confined space.
- Symptoms experienced: Tingling sensation, hand numbness especially at night, and reduced grip strength frequently indicate this condition arising from repetitive strain or injury.
- Diagnostic tools: Clinical tests alongside nerve conduction studies help confirm compression severity before treatment planning.
- Surgical method: Endoscopic or open carpal tunnel release involves cutting a ligament within a small incision to enlarge space around the median nerve efficiently.
- Expected outcomes: Postoperative recovery varies but many patients notice symptom improvement early; physiotherapy aids restoration of hand function over weeks following surgery.
This procedure effectively reduces pressure on the nerve enabling symptom resolution while preserving wrist functionality through careful operative techniques.
TRIGGER FINGER RELEASE
The condition known as trigger finger occurs when a finger catches or locks during bending due to inflammation of its tendon sheath. Surgical release offers a minimally invasive solution when conservative treatments fail.
- Signs and symptoms: Patients notice finger stiffness, popping sensations, or painful locking during movement caused by tendon entrapment.
- Diagnostic criteria: Physical examination confirms the diagnosis by observing triggering during finger motion; imaging is rarely necessary.
- Treatment options: If splinting or steroid injections don't help, percutaneous or open surgical release can free the tendon effectively through small incisions.
- Recovery information: Most individuals regain full motion quickly with minimal downtime following the procedure and appropriate hand therapy.
This intervention restores smooth finger movement, alleviating discomfort associated with tendon constriction in a safe manner.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) provides relief for various spinal conditions by reducing muscle disruption through smaller incisions. This approach aims to alleviate pain with less postoperative discomfort.
- Common symptoms: Chronic back pain, nerve compression symptoms such as leg numbness or weakness may indicate underlying spinal issues like herniated discs or stenosis.
- Diagnostic methods: Detailed neurological exams alongside imaging like MRI or CT scans pinpoint the affected area requiring intervention.
- Surgical approach: Using specialized tools and imaging guidance, surgeons access the spine via tiny incisions to decompress nerves or stabilize vertebrae.
- Postoperative course: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and faster mobilization compared to traditional open surgeries.
This advanced technique facilitates effective treatment with reduced tissue injury and quicker return to daily activities.
ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint issues affecting the knee. It offers an effective way to address problems without the need for extensive open surgery.
- Symptoms and causes: Patients often experience pain, swelling, stiffness, or limited mobility due to meniscal tears, ligament injuries, or cartilage damage.
- Diagnosis: A combination of physical examination, imaging tests like MRI or X-rays, and sometimes diagnostic arthroscopy helps identify the exact issue.
- Treatment options: The procedure involves small incisions through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to repair or remove damaged tissue.
- Recovery expectations: Recovery is generally faster than open surgery with less scarring; most patients begin physical therapy soon after to restore function.
This technique allows for precise treatment of knee joint problems while minimizing trauma, promoting quicker healing and improved outcomes.
