Orthopedics & Arthroscopy
Orthopedics deals with the structure and mechanics of bones, joints, and muscles, which makes their study and treatment well suited to engineering principles. The human hand contains approximately 29 distinct bones that give it the flexibility and strength to move from the smallest manipulation to the largest gesture.
What to understand about this treatment
What arthroscopy is
Arthroscopy lets an orthopedic surgeon see inside a joint to diagnose and treat the source of a problem directly, rather than through a large open incision.
Why it helps
Because it is minimally invasive, arthroscopy lets fractures and muscle tears be operated on with precision, reduces post-operative pain and scarring, and shortens recovery times.
The conditions it treats
Arthritis, wrist and finger fractures, sprains, dislocations, joint instabilities, and industrial injuries are all common reasons patients are referred.
Conditions treated
