An epidural steroid injection involves injecting a corticosteroid medication into the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerve roots. This helps reduce inflammation and pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.
A facet joint injection involves injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication directly into the facet joints of the spine. These joints are located between the vertebrae and can cause pain due to arthritis or injury.
A medial branch block involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves that supply the facet joints. This procedure helps to diagnose and temporarily relieve facet joint pain.
A selective nerve root block involves injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication near a specific nerve root in the spine. This helps identify the source of nerve pain and provides relief from conditions like radiculopathy.
A sacroiliac joint injection involves injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication into the sacroiliac joint, which connects the lower spine to the pelvis. This procedure helps reduce pain caused by inflammation or dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint.
Trigger point injections involve injecting a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a steroid, directly into painful muscle knots or trigger points. This helps relax the muscle and relieve pain.
Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord to interfere with pain signals. It is used for chronic pain that has not responded to other treatments.
A discectomy involves removing a portion of a herniated or bulging disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This procedure is commonly performed to alleviate symptoms of sciatica or radiculopathy.
A laminectomy involves removing part or all of the lamina, the back part of a vertebra that covers the spinal canal. This procedure enlarges the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often due to spinal stenosis.
Spinal fusion involves permanently connecting two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them. This is done using bone grafts, metal rods, and screws. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or severe scoliosis.
A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove part of a herniated disc through a small incision. This surgery is often performed to relieve pressure on a nerve root and alleviate leg pain (sciatica).
This procedure involves replacing a damaged intervertebral disc with an artificial one. It aims to maintain more natural motion compared to spinal fusion and is typically used to treat degenerative disc disease.
PRP injections use the patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. The PRP is then injected into the injured area to promote healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
Corticosteroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and pain in various joints and soft tissues, such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand. They are commonly used for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis.
This surgery repairs a torn biceps tendon, typically at the shoulder or elbow. It involves reattaching the tendon to the bone and is done through open or minimally invasive techniques.
This procedure relieves pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome). It can be done through simple decompression, medial epicondylectomy, or ulnar nerve transposition.
This surgery replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. It is commonly performed to treat severe arthritis or fractures. Variations include total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement.
This surgery repairs a torn rotator cuff tendon in the shoulder. It can be done through open surgery or arthroscopically, using small incisions and a camera. The goal is to reattach the tendon to the bone.
A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat various shoulder problems, such as labral tears, shoulder impingement, and loose bodies. It involves small incisions and specialized instruments.
Stem cell injections involve harvesting stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose tissue and injecting them into the elbow joint or surrounding tissues to promote tissue regeneration and reduce pain. This is an emerging treatment for conditions like arthritis and tendon injuries.
Corticosteroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the elbow joint or surrounding tissues. They are commonly used for conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and bursitis.
This procedure reconstructs a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow using a tendon graft. It is commonly performed on athletes, especially baseball pitchers, to restore stability and function.
This surgery involves fixing broken bones in the elbow using plates, screws, or pins. It is often performed to treat fractures of the distal humerus, radial head, or olecranon, aiming to restore alignment and function.
This surgery involves replacing the damaged elbow joint with an artificial prosthesis. It is typically performed for severe arthritis, fractures, or complex elbow injuries to relieve pain and restore function.
This surgery repairs a torn distal biceps tendon by reattaching it to the radial tuberosity. The procedure can be performed through open surgery or a minimally invasive technique to restore strength and function to the elbow.
A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat various elbow problems, such as loose bodies, arthritis, and ligament injuries. It involves small incisions and specialized instruments.
This procedure relieves pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome). It can be done through simple decompression, medial epicondylectomy, or ulnar nerve transposition to prevent nerve compression.
This surgery treats chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) by removing the damaged tendon tissue and reattaching healthy tendon to the bone. It can be performed through open surgery or arthroscopically.
This surgery addresses instability of the patella (kneecap) by realigning it or reconstructing the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). It is often performed to prevent recurrent dislocations.
Various techniques, such as microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral autograft transplantation (OATS), are used to repair or restore damaged cartilage in the knee. These procedures aim to reduce pain and improve function.
A meniscectomy involves removing the damaged part of the meniscus. It can be partial (removing only the torn section) or total (removing the entire meniscus), typically performed arthroscopically.
This procedure repairs a torn meniscus in the knee, often using arthroscopic techniques. The goal is to preserve as much of the meniscus as possible to maintain knee function and prevent arthritis.
This surgery reconstructs a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using a tendon graft from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). It aims to restore knee stability and function, often performed on athletes and active individuals.
A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat various knee problems, such as meniscus tears, ACL tears, cartilage damage, and loose bodies. It involves small incisions and specialized instruments.
Also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, this procedure replaces only the damaged compartment of the knee (medial, lateral, or patellofemoral) rather than the entire joint. It is an option for patients with arthritis confined to one part of the knee.
This surgery involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial prosthesis made of metal, ceramic, or plastic components. It is commonly performed to treat severe arthritis, aiming to relieve pain and restore function.
