You can usually go home the same day. The type of anesthesia that you will have depends on the joint. It also depends on what your surgeon suspects regarding the problem. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Local Anesthesia</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Numbing agents are injected below the skin. This is to block the sensation in a limited area, such as your shoulder or knee. You will be awake during your arthroscopy. The most you&#8217;ll feel is a small amount of pressure or the sensation of movement within the joint.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Regional Anesthesia</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Regional anesthesia is delivered through a small needle. It is placed between two of your spine&#8217;s lumbar vertebrae. This numbs the bottom half of your body. You will remain awake during the arthroscopy procedure but will not feel anything.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">General Anesthesia</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">General anesthesia is delivered through a vein.

You need to speak with your orthopedic doctor regarding what you should not take. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Before arthroscopy you will also be asked to perform some type of fasting. Depending on the type of anesthesia you&#8217;ll have, your doctor may want you to avoid eating solid foods. This is usually for eight hours before your arthroscopy procedure.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">During</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The arthroscope is slender &#8211; it is less than five millimetres in diameter. It has a fibre-optic light source and a magnifying lens attached to it. A tiny camera within the arthroscope transmits the images of the joint interior. This is transmitted to a television screen. The orthopedic surgeon will usually fill the joint with a sterile fluid. This is to widen it so it’s easier to see.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">After</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You may be prescribed some medications. This is a pain management technique to relieve pain and inflammation. When you arrive home you will need to rest for several days to reduce swelling and pain. Your orthopedic doctor might recommend physical therapy and different types of rehabilitation. This is to help strengthen your muscles and improve the healing of the joint that has been treated.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Western Orthopedics Arthroscopy Clinic</span></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you need a qualified and caring practitioner in Sydney, visit Western Orthopaedics.

A bone may become fractured completely or partially from trauma due to:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Falling over</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; A motor vehicle accident</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; During a sports activity</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; High force impact or stress</span></li></ul><h2> </h2><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Sports Injuries</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Sports injuries occur when playing indoor or outdoor sports or while exercising. Sports injuries can result from accidents or inadequate training. It can also be created by improper use of protective devices, or insufficient stretching/warm-up exercises. The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains, fractures, and dislocations.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Arthritis</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The term arthritis literally means inflammation of a joint. But, it is generally used to describe any condition in which there is damage to the cartilage. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury. The warning signs that inflammation presents are redness, swelling, heat and pain.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The cartilage is a padding that absorbs stress. The proportion of cartilage damage and synovial inflammation varies with the type and stage of arthritis. Usually, the pain early on is due to inflammation. In the later stages, when the cartilage is worn away, most of the pain comes from the mechanical friction of raw bones rubbing on each other.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Muscle and Bone Clinic</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A muscle and bone clinic is a place that provides orthopedic surgery.

  334. <p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Do you need a fracture clinic to help you with orthopedic treatment? Western Orthopedics is a fracture clinic that offers advanced orthopedic solutions. This fracture clinic operates in a range of locations across Sydney. They offer solutions for all ages and all orthopedic problems.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Fracture Clinic</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">When you experience a bone fracture, you will need to visit a fracture clinic. A cast that is made from plaster of paris is one of the most usual ways of immobilising a limb. This cast is made from a preparation of gypsum. It sets hard when water is added. Depending on the severity of the fracture, the fracture clinic procedures can include:</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h3><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Simple Fractures</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">With a simple fracture, the two ends of the broken bone are lined up. They are then held in place. The limb is bandaged and then the wet plaster is applied by the orthopedic surgeon at the fracture clinic.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h3><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Compound Fractures</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Compound fractures are cleaned in the operating room to remove debris before being set in place. This is because a broken bone exposed to the open air may become infected. An orthopedic surgeon will perform the correct measures to ensure no infection occurs at the fracture clinic.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h3><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Long Bones</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Long bones such as the bone of the thigh (femur) are difficult to align because they are complex. In adults, these are often treated by internal nails and screws. Once the two ends of bone start to show signs of healing, the leg and hip joint are immobilised in plaster of paris. In other cases, pins are inserted above and below the fracture. The surgery is completed under a general anaesthetic at the fracture clinic.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Fracture Clinic Locations</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">When you need to source a fracture clinic for orthopedic treatment, be sure to visit one of these locations.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Sky City – Bella Vista</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Suite 116, Level 120B</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Lexington Drive</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Norwest Business Park</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Bella Vista, NSW 2153</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Nepean Private Specialist Centre</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Suite 13B, Level 3</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">1A Barber Avenue</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Penrith NSW 2750</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Katoomba</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">61 Parke Street</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Katoomba NSW 2780</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Merrylands</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">21 Memorial Avenue</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Merrylands, NSW 2160</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Gregory Hills</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">7 Gregory Hills Road</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Gregory Hills NSW 2557</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Camden</b></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">78 John Street</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Camden NSW 2570</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Bone Clinic</span></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A bone clinic is a place that deals with correcting </span><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/bones-joints-and-muscles/orthopedic-conditions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">musculoskeletal problems</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

  379. <p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with correcting the musculoskeletal system. Many people are unsure when or if they need an orthopedic surgeon. More importantly, people are unsure where to find an orthopedic surgeon if they need one. Some people are afraid of the term &#8216;surgeon&#8217;. This is because it seems like a scary process when planning for surgery. But the truth is that an orthopedic surgeon is the one who will get you back to a healthy lifestyle that is pain-free.</span></p><h2> </h2><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">In The Life of An Orthopedic Surgeon</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The most rewarding part of an orthopedic surgeon career is helping patients. There is a lot of skill that is required to fix their problems. Dr Sunner from Western Orthopedics loves seeing a smile on his patients face. This always happens when they are walking pain-free again.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">In orthopedics, most of the problems are lifestyle-related. Arthritic joints cause pain and affect the patients’ lifestyle as a result. Dr Sunner &#8211; orthopedic surgeon &#8211; finds it very satisfying to relieve his patients. All his surgery procedures have successfully reduced patients’ pain and restored lifestyles.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr Sunner has had many patients in recovery after a hip replacement saying, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“the pain has gone.”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> He believes that this feedback is the most satisfying part of a surgeon&#8217;s journey.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The orthopedic surgeon had a 93-year-old lady who had not walked for 6 months. She required Dr Sunner’s expertise to operate on a painful knee. She returned to him 6 weeks after her knee replacement and gave him a hug. He finds this the most rewarding feeling of all, being an orthopedic surgeon.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Doctor Sunner, there is no such thing as a typical day in the life of an orthopedic surgeon. He states that it can vary so much and that is another beauty of working in the field of orthopedics. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It all depends on whether I am running a clinic or operating at the private hospital or public hospital.”</span></i></span></p><h2> </h2><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">History of Orthopedic Surgeons</span></strong></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Andre-Venel" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jean-André Venel</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> established the first orthopedics clinic.

  424. <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Total fusion is a special type of surgery. It is performed to correct different areas of the musculoskeletal system. It is a term that is used in the branch of </span><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/what-is-orthopedics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">orthopedics medicine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. An orthopedic surgeon will operate on their patients to create a total fusion in a specific area of the body. This article will help you to gain a better understanding of surgery used to treat the ankle, wrist and knee.</span></span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Ankle</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Ankle total fusion is a type of surgery used to fuse the bones of your ankle into one piece. It’s also referred to as ankle arthrodesis. The ankle total fusion surgery is usually performed to treat arthritis that is found within the ankle. The ankle joint is also called the tibiotalar joint. It is where the shinbone rests on top of a bone located at the foot, called the talus. The ankle also includes the subtalar joint. This is where 2 of the foot bones meet. Arthritis can create pain in these 2 joints in the foot. Over a period of time, </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">the smooth cartilage on the surface of the bones wears away which creates pain and swelling.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Ankle total fusion is a surgery that is performed to fuse 2 or more bones together within the ankle. This helps to stop the pain and inflammation. An orthopedic surgeon will make an incision in your ankle to work on the joint using total fusion. They will then compress the bones together. They do this by attaching them with plates, nails and screws. In some cases, an ankle can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Wrist</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Arthrodesis is the surgical immobilisation of a joint. It is created by the process of total fusion of the adjacent bones. Wrist total fusion is also known as wrist fusion. It is a surgical procedure in which the wrist joint is stabilised. This is done by fusing the forearm bone together with the small bones of the wrist. Wrist total fusion is done to relieve the pain that is created by severe trauma to the wrist. A painful wrist can interrupt daily activities and make them difficult.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The wrist is made up of 8 different small bones. These are called carpal bones. The metacarpal bones are the long bones that lie within the palm. These attach to the phalanges which are the bones in the fingers and thumb. Wrist total fusion is used to stop problems such as pain and inflammation.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Knee</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Knee total fusion is major and complex surgery. This is why it is performed in a hospital setting or orthopedic clinic. Sometimes a post-operative stay in a rehabilitation unit is required to help the transition. Damaged cartilage and bone from the ends of the thigh and leg bone will be removed. Then the ends of the bones are fused together with metal plates. Sometimes the orthopedic surgeon will carefully remove a small piece of bone from your pelvic bone. This is used as a bone graft to help fuse the bones together. Depending on the type of hardware that is used, the device may stay in place permanently. If complications occur during the knee total fusion, you may need to stay in the hospital longer. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Sometimes, patients are discharged to a rehabilitation centre. This is to help with recovery and the healing process. It is normal for swelling to occur after surgery.  Be sure to keep your leg elevated to reduce the swelling and maintain circulation. Your doctor will also prescribe you with pain management medications. This will help you transition into your new life after knee surgery.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Total Fusion</span></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Searching for a qualified and caring practitioner in Sydney?

Let’s take a look at the different types of problems that they deal with and how they can help you.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;">Orthopedic Surgeon</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">An orthopedic surgeon deals with the branch of medicine that corrects deformities.

It is formed from the tissue that lines a joint or tendon. The tissue is called synovium. It functions to produce lubricating fluid for these areas. A ganglion is a cyst formed by the synovium that contains a thick jelly-like fluid. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A ganglion can follow local trauma to the tendon or joint. They usually form for unknown reasons that cannot be pinpointed. The only truth is that they can be early signs of arthritis. If you suffer from a ganglion wrist, there are many orthopedic surgeons available to help with treatment. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Wrist Pain</span></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Wrist pain is any discomfort that is found within the wrist.

The main symptom of contracture deformity is the inability to move certain areas within your body. You might also have pain. This depends on the location and cause of the contracture.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Muscle</span></strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A muscle contracture involves the shortening and tightening of the muscles. A bone specialist can help you to resolve muscle contracture problems.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></h3><h3><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Skin</span></strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A skin contracture may develop through scarring from an injury, burn, or past surgery. This will limit your ability to move that part of your body. A bone specialist can help you to resolve skin contracture problems.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Joint</span></strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A joint contracture can happen where two or more bones connect.

  516. <p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">There is a strict care plan that is involved with orthopedic surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon will set up your care plan that you must follow to ensure that you achieve the best possible results.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Care Plan for ACL Surgery</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament. This is one of the major ligaments found in your knee. ACL injuries occur during sports that involve:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Sudden and quick stops</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Changes in direction</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Jumping and landing</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Many people hear or feel a big pop in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee could experience the following issues:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Swelling</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Feeling unstable</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Become too painful to bear the weight</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">You will need an orthopedic care plan if you need ACL surgery to fix the problem.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Care Plan for ACL Reconstruction</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Everything depends on the severity of your ACL injury. Treatment may include rest and rehabilitation exercises but often, people need ACL reconstruction. This is to help you regain strength and stability. A proper training program could help reduce the risk of an injury. Even more importantly, reduce the need for ACL reconstruction. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">South West Sydney</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Are you located in the South West Sydney area?

It can happen more abruptly than most people think. Cruciate ligament tears usually occur in a sports setting. It is also possible to tear the cruciate ligament during everyday activities. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Treatment options vary depending on which of the two cruciate ligaments is injured. There are other factors to consider like whether there are other injuries to the knee. Orthopedic surgery is commonly performed to fix the issue.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Adhesive Capsulitis</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Adhesive capsulitis is also known as frozen shoulder. It is a painful condition in which the movement of the shoulder becomes limited. The condition is called frozen shoulder because the pain stops the movement. It makes everyday activities difficult. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Frozen shoulder occurs when the strong connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Thick</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Stiff</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8211; Inflamed</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></li></ul><h2> </h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Anterior Cruciate Ligament</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a band of dense connective tissue. The ACL is a key structure in the knee joint. This is because it resists anterior tibial translation and rotational loads.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Tennis Elbow Cure</span></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/tennis-elbow" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis elbow</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a type of tendinitis. It involves swelling of the tendons that causes pain in the elbow and arm. You don&#8217;t have to play tennis to get tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is the most common reason that people see their doctors for elbow pain. It is most common for people around the age of 40-years-old. There are many treatments available for tennis elbow, in the field of orthopedics.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Orthopedic Shoulder Problems</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Do you suffer from any orthopedic shoulder problems? There is a range of problems that can occur with the shoulder. But the good news is there can be a care plan put in place.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;"> </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Shoulder Dislocation</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">A dislocated shoulder is an injury in which your upper arm bone pops out of the cup-shaped socket. This is part of your shoulder blade. The shoulder is the body&#8217;s most mobile joint. This is what makes it prone to dislocation. If you experience a dislocated shoulder, seek prompt medical attention. Many people source expertise from an orthopedic surgeon. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Most people regain full shoulder function within several weeks. But, once you&#8217;ve had a dislocated shoulder, your joint may become unstable. This may make it prone to repeat dislocations so you need to put a care plan in place. Other shoulder problems include:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">&#8211; Shoulder Blade Pain</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8211; Shoulder Clicking </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></li></ul><h2> </h2><h2><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Western Orthopedics</span></h2><p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Searching for a qualified and caring orthopedic surgeon?
