What Types of Surgeries do Orthopaedic Surgeons Perform?


Orthopaedic surgeons perform numerous types of surgeries on patients. The range of treatments done by orthopedists is enormous. It can cover anything from traction to amputation, hand reconstruction to spinal fusion or joint replacements. They also treat broken bones, strains and sprains, and dislocations.

Common surgeries include:

  • Arthroscopy - a procedure by means of special cameras and equipment to visualize, diagnose and treat problems inside a joint.
  • Fusion - a "welding" process by which bones are fused together with bone grafts and internal devices, such as metal rods to heal into a single solid bone.
  • Internal Fixation - a method to hold the broken pieces of bone in proper position with metal plates, pins or screws while the bone is healing.
  • Joint replacement (partial, total and revision) -when an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis.
  • Osteotomy - the correction of bone deformity by cutting and repositioning the bone.
  • Soft Tissue Repair - the mending of soft tissue, such as torn tendons or ligaments.
