When to visit and why
Knowing all the benefits of visiting Mexico for orthopedic surgery, here are some of the cases in which an orthopedic surgeon can help. Orthopedic doctors can help reduce pain. They specialize in the entire musculoskeletal system, understanding the different parts of the body and how they work, this includes muscles, nerves, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and other connective tissues. There are many conditions and injuries that can cause pain and often the orthopedic and trauma specialist can help reduce or eliminate this pain.
The most common types of body pain that the specialist treats include: knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, foot, neck, or back. Whether your pain is dull, sharp, acute, or chronic, an orthopedic surgeon may be able to help. The specialist can also help improve your range of motion, making it easier to perform everyday tasks.
The most common procedures done by orthopedic surgeons
Orthopedic and trauma specialists can perform both surgical and nonsurgical procedures to help treat your injuries or conditions. The most common surgical procedures are joint replacement, joint revision, arthroscopy, spinal surgery to relieve pressure off nerves, disc replacement surgery, and spinal fusion. They also perform soft tissue repairs, such as procedures to repair torn or ruptured tendons or ligaments, bone fracture repairs, debridement or removal of damaged tissue or bone, and osteotomies to correct bone deformity.
The most common nonsurgical procedures are fluid drainage, injecting steroids into the bursa, ultrasound-guided steroid injections in the knee, joint manipulation, facet joint injections, bracing or casting, cervical epidural injections, viscosupplementation to treat arthritis, lumbar epidural steroid injection, shockwave therapy, and lumbar sympathetic block.
