Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery deals with the treatment of disorders and pathologies of the skeletal system, composed of bones, cartilaginous structures, and joints. In recent years, arthroscopy has become increasingly widespread among the techniques used in orthopedic surgery. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that, with the assistance of a video probe, allows intervention without the typical incisions of traditional surgery. In arthroscopy, the surgeon makes very small incisions through which they insert the necessary instruments to observe the inside of the joint and to intervene.

Orthopedic surgery is used in case of injuries of various natures (inflammatory, degenerative, or traumatic) that affect different areas of the body: the foot (metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, cavus foot, flat foot, hammer toes), the hand (scaphoid bone fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb arthritis, Dupuytren’s contracture, etc.), the knee (meniscus and ligament injuries, arthritis), the shoulder (rotator cuff injuries), and the hip (hip arthritis).

Innovative techniques allow for the regeneration of damaged tissues through the collection of cells from the same patient undergoing treatment. These cells can be transformed into specialized cells to form, regenerate, and repair specific tissue. These procedures, such as platelet-rich plasma injection (method called PRP) or abdominal adipose tissue cell injection, are used in orthopedics for degenerative treatment, thus addressing joint care, and enable many patients to delay the need for surgical intervention.

Some of the possible interventions:
– meniscectomy
– ACL cruciate ligament reconstruction
– hip arthroscopy
– release of the carpal tunnel
– trigger finger
– bunion removal (hallux vagus)
– intervention can be launched
– varus foot surgery
