Oxford Medical Clinic: Orthopedics department

Surgeons in the orthopedic department perform the following operations:

• Arthroscopy — the surgeon inserts the arthroscope into the joint through a minimal incision for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes;
• Metal osteosynthesis;
• Endoprosthetics;
• Re-arthroplasty.

Installation of an endoprosthesis for joints

At Oxford Medical, doctors use prostheses identical to the real joint — endoprostheses. They correspond to the patient’s joint in shape and movement.
Indications for the installation of endoprostheses:

• Dysplasia;
• Arthritis,
• Fracture;
• Arthrosis.

In addition to primary prosthetics, the doctors of the department carry out revision (re) installation of the endoprosthesis. During such an operation, surgeons replace worn out or improperly installed prostheses.

Bone fixation with a metal element — osteosynthesis

This method prevents bone from improperly growing together after a fracture. Doctors use as metal elements:

• Spokes;
• Screws;
• Plates.

With osteosynthesis, the patient receives the following benefits:

• Correct fusion;
• Accelerated healing;
• No risk of trauma to the tissues surrounding the bone — nerves and blood vessels.
