1-Imaging procedures can help diagnose many orthopedic conditions:
• X-ray
• Computed tomography (CT) scan
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
• Bone scans (DEXAscan)
• Ultrasound scan.
2-Sometimes, treatment involves injections of medicine into the painful area. This may involve:
• Corticosteroid injections into joints, tendons, and ligaments, and around the spine
• Hyaluronic acid injection to help relieve arthritis pain.
• Platlet rich Plasma injection.
3-Surgical procedures used in the treatment of orthopedics include:
• Arthroscopic surgeries
• Fracture care
• Bunionectomy and hammer toe repair
• Cartilage repair or resurfacing procedures (knee , shoulder , foot, ankle,hand and wrist)
• Ligament reconstructions and repair
• Minimally invasive surgery
• Advanced external fixation
• Use of bone graft substitutes and bone-fusing protein
• Arthroplasty
