What is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgery involves treating conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It is designed to address injuries, deformities, or disorders that impact the body’s ability to move or function properly. At Motion, we use the latest surgical techniques to treat these often minimally invasive issues to reduce recovery time and improve outcomes.

Our board-certified surgeons specialize in various orthopedic procedures, from traditional open surgeries to advanced minimally invasive techniques. Each surgery is carefully planned and executed, focusing on reducing pain, restoring function, and enabling patients to return to their daily activities as quickly as possible.

Common Conditions Treated with Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery is often recommended for individuals who suffer from chronic pain or limited mobility due to injury or degenerative conditions. Some of the most common conditions we treat at Motion Orthopaedic & Podiatry Institute include:

• Arthritis: Arthritis, especially in the knees, hips, and shoulders, can severely limit a person’s ability to move without pain. For advanced arthritis that does not respond to conservative treatments, orthopedic surgery may be recommended. Procedures such as joint replacement can help restore movement and alleviate chronic pain.
• Sports Injuries: Athletes are particularly prone to injuries that affect the bones and joints, such as ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and meniscus tears. Our surgeons specialize in sports medicine and can perform surgeries to repair damaged tissues, allowing athletes to return to their sport confidently.
• Fractures: Surgery may be necessary for complex or severe fractures to ensure proper healing. We offer fracture repair surgeries, where metal rods, plates, or screws are used to stabilize broken bones. This allows the bone to heal in the correct alignment and restores the function of the affected limb.
• Spine Disorders: Conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis can cause debilitating back pain. Orthopedic spine surgery may be needed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, providing relief from chronic pain and preventing further damage.
• Joint Injuries: Joint injuries from trauma or overuse can lead to significant discomfort and loss of function. Surgeries such as arthroscopy allow for the repair of damaged tissues within the joint, helping patients regain full movement without pain.

Our Surgical Techniques

At Motion Orthopaedic & Podiatry Institute, we utilize a range of surgical techniques based on each patient’s specific needs. We aim to use the most minimally invasive methods whenever possible, which reduces scarring, speeds up recovery, and lowers the risk of complications.

• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Minimally invasive procedures use smaller incisions than traditional open surgery, leading to quicker recovery and less pain. For example, arthroscopic surgery allows our surgeons to diagnose and treat joint issues using small tools and cameras inserted through tiny incisions.
• Joint Replacement Surgery: Joint replacement is often necessary for patients with severe arthritis or damaged hip, knee, or shoulder joints. Depending on the extent of the damage, we offer total and partial joint replacement. These procedures replace the damaged joint with prosthetic components that mimic the function of a healthy joint.
• Fracture Repair: Complex fractures may require surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the bone. Our surgeons use techniques such as internal fixation, which involves placing metal plates, screws, or rods to hold the bones in place as they heal.
• Spinal Surgery: Spinal surgery addresses conditions such as herniated discs or spinal compression. Depending on the complexity of the condition, we offer both minimally invasive and traditional approaches. These surgeries aim to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, reducing pain and improving mobility.

The Surgical Process

When you undergo orthopedic surgery at Motion Orthopaedic & Podiatry Institute, you can expect a thorough and personalized process from start to finish. We guide you through each step, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.

• Consultation and Diagnosis: An in-depth consultation is the first step in the surgical process. During this visit, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, perform a physical examination, and order any necessary imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs. Based on these findings, we will determine if surgery is the best option for your condition.
• Pre-Surgical Preparation: Before your surgery, we will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include stopping certain medications, arranging post-surgical care, and fasting before the procedure. We will also discuss anesthesia options and what to expect on the day of surgery.
• Surgery: Our team will ensure you are comfortable and fully prepared on the day of your procedure. The surgery will take place in a state-of-the-art facility using the latest equipment. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, it can take anywhere from one to several hours.
• Post-Surgical Care: After surgery, we will monitor your recovery closely. You may need to stay in the hospital overnight for observation, or if the procedure was minimally invasive, you may be discharged the same day. Our team will provide detailed instructions on post-surgical care, including pain management, wound care, and physical therapy.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery from orthopedic surgery varies depending on the type of procedure and the patient’s overall health. At Motion, we create personalized rehabilitation plans to ensure a complete and successful recovery.

• Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery. Our in-house physical therapists will work with you to develop a program designed to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility in the affected area. Regular therapy sessions help speed up recovery and prevent future complications.
• Follow-Up Care: Follow-up visits are essential to monitor your progress after surgery. During these appointments, your surgeon will assess the healing process and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
• Timeline for Recovery: The recovery timeline depends on the surgery type. Patients may return to normal activities within a few weeks for minimally invasive procedures. More complex surgeries, such as joint replacements, may require several months of rehabilitation.
