Adult reconstructive orthopaedics is a subspecialty of orthopaedic surgery that focuses on the study, prevention, and reconstructive treatment of musculoskeletal problems in adults. It involves the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the adult population.
Here are some key points about adult reconstructive orthopedics:
Scope: Adult reconstructive orthopaedics deals with a wide range of conditions, including degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. It also covers conditions like joint deformities, joint instability, and joint infections.
Surgical Procedures: Adult reconstructive orthopedic surgeons perform various surgical procedures to address these conditions. Some common procedures include joint replacement surgeries (such as hip and knee replacements), joint revision surgeries, joint preservation surgeries, and arthroscopic procedures.
Joint Replacement: Joint replacement surgery is a common procedure in adult reconstructive orthopaedics. It involves removing the damaged or diseased joint and replacing it with an artificial joint, also known as a prosthesis. This procedure aims to relieve pain, improve joint function, and enhance the patient's quality of life.
Rehabilitation: After surgery, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery process. Physical therapy and exercises are often prescribed to help patients regain strength, mobility, and function in the affected joint.
Multidisciplinary Approach: Adult reconstructive orthopaedics often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgeons work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and pain management specialists, to provide comprehensive care to patients.
