Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a successful
remedy which relieves you from the serious pain
which causes disability in movement. Usually
people believe that the success of the surgery
depends on the physicians skill and the
procedure that has been adopted. But the fact is
that there is a recovery time of three to twelve
months to get back to normal routine. To a large
extent, the recovery depends on patients overall
health in general and willingness in following
the recommendations on diet, rest and physical
therapy.

The bone surfaces of the ball and socket are
covered with articular cartilage, a smooth tissue
that cushions the ends of the bones and enables
them to move easily. Hip replacement surgery is
usually necessary when the hip joint is worn or
damaged to the extent that your mobility is
reduced and you experience pain even while
resting.

The severity of a fracture usually depends on the
force that caused the break. If the bone's
breaking point has been exceeded only slightly,
then the bone may crack rather than break all the
way through. If the force is extreme, such as in
an automobile crash or a gunshot, the bone may
shatter.

Reconstructive surgery
There are two basic categories of patients those
who have congenital deformities, otherwise known
as birth defects, and those with developmental
deformities, acquired as a result of accident,
infection, disease, or in some cases, aging. Some
common examples of congenital abnormalities are
birthmarks cleft-lip and palate deformities
hand deformities such as syndactyly (webbed
fingers), or extra or absent fingers and
abnormal breast development.

Revision Surgery
In most cases revision surgery is not due to an
error or mistake of a previous operation. Spinal
surgery is a complex field and even the very best
and most experienced surgeons do not always get
excellent results. Common reasons for revision
surgery include such problems as pseudarthrosis
(failure to achieve solid fusion) which may be
due to poor tissue healing and patient related
factors. Another element to consider is that the
spine is a living and dynamic structure. Even
after apparent successful surgery the function
and shape of the spine can deteriorate requiring
further surgery to remedy a problem.

Sports Injuries
Sports Injuries
Exercising is good for you, but sometimes you can
injure yourself when you play sports or exercise.
Accidents, poor training practices, or improper
gear can cause them. Some people get hurt because
they are not in shape. Not warming up or
stretching enough can also lead to injuries.
Other possible treatments include pain relievers,
keeping the injured area from moving,
rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery.
13
Spinal Fractures
Spinal fractures can vary widely in severity.
While some fractures are very serious injuries
that require emergency treatment, other fractures
can be the result of bones weakened by
osteoporosis. Most spinal fractures occur in the
thoracic (mudpacks) and lumbar spine (lower back)
or at the connection of the two (thoracolumbar
junction). Many fractures heal with conservative
treatment however severe fractures may require
surgery to realign the bones.

Spinal Disc Disease
Only a person who has experienced a damaged
spinal disk understands the agony and
helplessness it brings. The pain can be
excruciating. Every movement seems to make it
worse. This pain is a warning signal that you
should heed. If you take appropriate action, the
discomfort usually stops, and the problem can be
corrected. Spinal disks are rubbery pads between
the vertebrae, the specialized bones that make up
the spinal column.
