Surgical traumatology

Unfortunately, traumatic injuries are not uncommon. Some pass without consequences, others require surgical treatment followed by rehabilitation. Traumatologists are treated with fractures, bone fractures, dislocations, ruptures of ligaments, joint capsules and tendons.

The main areas of work of the Department of Surgical Traumatology:

  • Restoring the shape of the foot, hand.
  • The return of the lost functions to the limbs.
  • Elimination of skin defects such as lacerations.
  • Suturing of nerve fibers, tendons.
  • Endoprosthetics - replacement of a joint or its parts with artificial implants.

The specialists of the K+31 clinic solve not only the usual problems listed above, but also rare, atypical problems. Our multidisciplinary medical center uses an integrated approach: we can conduct a full examination, undergo treatment using minimally invasive and high-tech surgeries with the possibility of subsequent rehabilitation.

The most common injuries are the hands, knees, feet and spine.

Foot surgery

Injuries to the ligaments, joints and bones of the feet are injuries that often occur in people from certain risk groups:

  • Athletes.
  • Overweight.
  • Wearing uncomfortable shoes.
  • Forced to spend more than four hours a day in an upright position due to work (teachers, surgeons, hairdressers, salespeople, production workers with conveyors).
  • Women walking in high heels.
  • Pregnant.

During the operation, the doctor removes defects, removes edema, and, if necessary, replaces parts of the joints.

Hand surgery

Human activities often lead to injuries to the hands, especially the hands, which is manifested by a violation of their functions, the inability to perform minor work, and a decrease in the quality of life. The choice of surgical treatment tactics is determined by the type of pathology. In case of malfunction of the joints, fragmentation of bones, they resort to endoprosthetics - the installation of high-tech artificial joints. Complex structures are used as prostheses, which are distinguished by mobility and are capable of performing all functions with the load usual for the hand.

When creating endoprostheses, it is very important to take into account the anatomical features of the hand. It is necessary that the artificial joints function fully, cope with the daily load, do not cause discomfort, and have a long service life. We work with individually designed prostheses from quality licensed materials, which eliminates the risk of unsuccessful interventions.

Spinal surgery and neurosurgery

Traumatic injuries of the spine often lead to negative consequences for the nervous system, which are manifested by paralysis, dysfunctions of the genitourinary organs.

Surgical intervention helps to avoid these manifestations. Treatment involves performing operations on the spinal cord, brain, vertebrae, discs, intervertebral joints. The main indications for surgery: fractures, cracks in the vertebrae, hernias, curvature of the spine, disruption of the nerves.

Arthroscopy

This is a separate type of minimally invasive intervention, carried out with two purposes at once - for a visual examination of the joint from the inside and for therapeutic manipulations. Through an incision in the skin up to 3 cm long, the doctor inserts a flexible instrument - an endoscope, equipped with the necessary surgical instruments and a video camera. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and takes 15 minutes or more. Joints available for manipulation: wrist, knee, elbow, radial, hip, shoulder, as well as in the feet.

The following types of procedures are performed using arthroscopy:

  • Removal of intra-articular debris.
  • Suturing the ligaments.
  • Elimination of bone outgrowths, deposits - thorns.

The main indications for arthroscopy: joint injury, impingement syndrome, habitual dislocation, tendonitis, intra-articular hematoma.

Orthotics

Recovery after surgery is an important part of achieving a positive treatment outcome. Rehabilitation includes a set of methods aimed at shortening the postoperative period. Most often, physiotherapy, massage, physiotherapy exercises are used. In order to fix the joint, prevent injury, and form the correct position, orthoses are used - special fixing devices of different rigidity, designed to distribute the load on the muscles and joints.

The specialists of our multidisciplinary center select orthoses for each patient, taking into account the peculiarities of the clinical situation. It is important to consider the stiffness, size and location of the retainer to obtain the desired result.

The full cycle of treatment in the event of an injury (from diagnosis to rehabilitation) can be completed at the K+31 Clinic.
