Minimally Invasive Fracture / Trauma Surgery

Minimally invasive fracture stabilization is a surgical technique used to stabilize and repair bone fractures with minimal disruption to the surrounding soft tissues. This approach typically involves the use of small incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging techniques to accurately position and secure internal fixation devices, such as screws, plates, or rods.

This approach helps in

• Reducing pain,
• Minimal scarring
• Faster recovery time for patients.

Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgeons perform the following tasks

• Pre-operative evaluation: The surgeon assesses the patient's medical history, physical condition, and imaging studies to determine the best surgical approach for the patient.
• Surgical planning: The surgeon then conduct advanced imaging techniques such as MRI or CT scans to plan the surgical procedure and identify the specific areas of the body that need to be targeted.
• Surgery: During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions and uses specialized instruments to perform the procedure. This may include techniques such as arthroscopy (using a camera to visualize the inside of a joint).
• Post-operative care: After the surgery, the surgeon monitors the patient's recovery and provides any necessary pain management and rehabilitation services. They may also provide guidance on post-operative care, including exercise and physical therapy.
