ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

At the modern high-tech hospital of the "Oxford Medical" clinic, orthopedic operations of any complexity are performed:

• arthroscopy - minimally invasive surgical treatment of joint diseases, ligament and tendon ruptures;
• metallic osteosynthesis - fixation of broken bones with the help of temporary metal structures;
• arthroplasty of joints;
• replacement of worn-out or incorrectly installed joints (revision arthroplasty), etc.

The orthopedic department widely uses preliminary 3D modeling, thanks to which the specialists choose the optimal shape of the prosthesis and can predict the result in advance. In addition, the use of arthroscopy can reduce damage to healthy tissue and accelerate patient recovery.

Operations are carried out in a 24-hour surgical hospital (Bereznyakovskaya Street, 30B), equipped with 2 operating units with modern diagnostic and surgical facilities of the best brands. Total joint replacement is performed according to state and international protocols. Furthermore, the involvement of highly qualified orthopedic surgeons makes it possible to provide patients with immediate assistance at the highest level.

After surgery, patients undergo recovery and rehabilitation in cozy single or double rooms with a personal bathroom, air-conditioning, and all necessary for a comfortable stay.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joints. It is carried out through an endoscope, inserted through a small incision in the operated area. The endoscope is provided with an optical system and small surgical equipment. Arthroscopy makes it possible to make an accurate diagnosis, remove damaged tissue, infected or other fluids, and restore the integrity of ligaments and tendons.

The indications for arthroscopy are:

• arthritis;
• arthrosis;
• chronic inflammation of the joint;
• cyst;
• joint injury;
• rupture of ligaments, tendons, damage to surrounding tissues, etc.

Endoprosthetics is the installation of a high-tech prosthesis instead of a damaged joint, which is identical in form and functionality. The indication for arthroplasty is joint damage in arthritis, arthrosis, dysplasia, or fracture.

At «Oxford Medical» arthroplasty of the following joints is performed:

• knee;
• hip;
• shoulder.

Revision arthroplasty is the replacement of elements of a previously installed joint or the installation of a new one in its place. The operation is necessary if the endoprosthetics was performed incorrectly, some elements of the prosthesis were worn out, it was broken, dislocations often occur, the patient is worried about pain, or other reasons exist.

Revision arthroplasty is a more complicated operation than the initial prosthesis installation. It requires high qualifications and specific skills from the doctor and the high-tech equipment of the surgical unit. In Ukraine, revision arthroplasty is performed in only a few clinics.

Metallic osteosynthesis is the fixation of a broken bone using a metal structure (pins, screws, plates, etc.). Such a method allows to restore the physiological shape of the bone, avoid displacement of fragments, improper bone fusion, and other complications.\

Indications for osteosynthesis are:

• fractures of the spine, hip, lower leg, ankle fracture, shoulder, wrist, and other bones, accompanied by the risk of serious complications;
• displacement of bone fragments or a high risk of this;
• improper bone fusion;
• slow bone fusion;
• the risk of injury to soft tissues, blood vessels, nerves, etc.
