Knee Replacement Surgery is a surgical procedure in which the damaged parts of the kneecap, thighbone, and shinbone of the patient are replaced with artificial parts. In this procedure, the doctor will put the patient under regional or general anesthesia. The doctor will then make an incision in the knee region to access the bone, remove the damaged area, insert the replacement, and then close the incision. In double knee replacement surgery (also known as bilateral knee replacement), both kneecaps need this surgery, and will be operated on either simultaneously or one at a time.

Partial Hip replacement surgery is also known as the hip hemiarthroplasty. The surgery only replaces the hip ball (femoral head) of the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant. This artificial implant is called as the prosthetic implant. Partial hip replacement surgery is suggested after examining the extent of damage occurred to hip joint. It is generally performed if the fracture of the femoral neck cannot be fixed and socket remains intact or undamaged. The orthopedist needs to replace only the ball of the hip joint.

This is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for various types of fractures of hip. The treatment is usually suggested for elderly patients. The procedure involves a surgery and placing of the implant. There are 3 components of a dynamic hip screw, including a lag screw (inserted into the neck of the femur), a side plate and four cortical screws (fixated into the proximal femoral shaft) The idea behind the dynamic compression is that the femoral head component is allowed to move along one plane; since bone responds to dynamic stresses, the native femur may undergo remodeling and proper fracture healing.

Hip Resurfacing is a procedure that differs from the traditional hip replacement surgery. In this surgery the head of femor (thigh bone) is re shaped and the socket (acetabulum) in which it is fixed is replaced with metal, plastic or ceramic implants. The procedure is considered better because it is easy to revise it and it give you more normal walking pattern. The costs vary significantly based on the type of implant material (metal, plastic or ceramic) used, so it is important to check with the provider which implant material and from which company (brand) they will be using.

Clubfoot is a congenital deformity of the foot which ranges from mild to severe. In clubfoot, the foot of the baby is twisted out of shape such that it is curved inwards or downwards. The abnormality can be successfully treated by a specialist. The most common treatment of clubfoot is the Ponseti method, which involves gentle stretching and casting followed by a minor surgery to realign the foot and correct the deformity. If the condition is severe, it may require a more invasive surgery by an orthopedic surgeon.
