Orthopedic Surgery & Complications
Common Orthopedic Surgeries
Orthopedic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures focused on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Common types include joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder), fracture repairs, arthroscopic surgeries (knee, shoulder, hip), and spinal procedures. These surgeries aim to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility.
Examples of Orthopedic Surgical Procedures:
Joint Replacement:
Hip Replacement: Replacing the damaged hip joint with artificial implants.
Knee Replacement: Replacing the knee joint with metal and plastic components.
Shoulder Replacement: Replacing parts of the shoulder joint with prosthetics.
Arthroscopic Surgery:
Knee Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and repair knee problems (e.g., torn meniscus, ACL reconstruction).
Shoulder Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and repair shoulder problems (e.g., rotator cuff tears, labral tears).
Hip Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and repair hip problems (e.g., labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement).
Fracture Repair:
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): Surgical procedure to realign and stabilize bone fractures using plates, screws, or rods.
External Fixation: Using external devices to stabilize fractures.
Spinal Procedures:
Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
Laminectomy: Removing a portion of the vertebral bone to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Diskectomy: Removing a damaged or herniated disc in the spine.
Other Procedures:
ACL Reconstruction: Repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee.
Tendon and Ligament Repair: Repairing torn or damaged tendons and ligaments.
Bone Grafting: Using bone tissue to promote healing in fractures or bone defects.
Bunionectomy: Surgical removal of a bunion.
Carpal Tunnel Release: Relieving pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.
Foot and Ankle Surgery: Various procedures for correcting deformities, repairing injuries, and managing arthritis in the foot and ankle.
Hand and Wrist Surgery: Procedures for fractures, tendon and nerve injuries, and arthritis in the hand and wrist.
Limb Lengthening: Surgical procedures to increase the length of a limb.
Osteotomy: Surgical cutting and realignment of bones to correct deformities or address arthritis.
Joint Revision Surgery: Replacing or repairing previously implanted joint replacements.
Complications of Orthopedic Surgery
Common complications following orthopedic surgery include infection, delayed or non-healing of bones, blood clots (including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism), nerve damage, and issues with implants, such as dislocations. Specific complications can vary depending on the surgery performed, but generally include bleeding, pain, and potential reactions to stitches or anesthesia.
Specific Complications:
Infection:
Surgical site infections are a common concern and can sometimes require revision surgery.
Delayed/Non-union of Fractures:
Bones may not heal properly after a fracture repair, leading to delayed union or non-union.
Blood Clots:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are serious complications where blood clots form in the legs and can travel to the lungs.
Nerve Damage:
Nerves can be injured during surgery, potentially causing numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Implant Problems:
Joint replacements can experience loosening, dislocation, or other mechanical failures.
Bleeding:
Excessive bleeding can occur during or after surgery.
Pain:
Postoperative pain is a common experience, and management is an important part of recovery.
Wound Healing Issues:
Wound infections, dehiscence (splitting open), or poor scar formation can occur.
Reaction to Stitches/Anesthesia:
Some individuals may experience allergic reactions or other complications related to surgical materials or anesthesia.
Joint Stiffness/Reduced Range of Motion:
Especially after joint replacement or other surgeries, stiffness can develop, limiting movement.
Limb Length Inequality:
In some cases, especially with fracture surgeries, there can be a noticeable difference in limb length after healing.
Failure to Relieve Pain:
In some cases, surgery may not fully alleviate the pain it was intended to address.
Why is physiotherapy important for minimising the complications of Orthopedic Surgery?
Physiotherapy is crucial for minimizing complications after orthopedic surgery by helping patients regain mobility, strength, and flexibility, while also reducing pain and inflammation and preventing re-injury. It also enhances blood circulation, which aids in healing and reduces the risk of complications like infections or blood clots.
Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:
1. Restoring Mobility and Strength:
2. Reducing Pain and Inflammation:
3. Preventing Complications:
4. Enhancing Functional Recovery:
5. Psychological Well-being:
In conclusion, physiotherapy is an essential component of orthopedic surgery recovery, helping patients minimize complications, regain their physical function, and improve their overall quality of life.
