Our physicians perform surgeries at HaysMed and some hospitals in surrounding areas. At Hays Orthopedic Institute, we understand that the period surrounding your surgery can produce an uneasy feeling for you. To improve the experience, we provide patients with detailed information about when to arrive at the hospital and what to expect after surgery. When packing your bags to go to the hospital, remember to bring the following:
An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, muscles and any related conditions.
Physician assistants (PAs) are licensed healthcare professionals who practice medicine with physician supervision. As part of the physician/PA team, PAs diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. They deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services. Their focus is patient care, which may include education, research, and administrative activities. PAs can treat patients when the physician is away from the practice and can write prescriptions.
Arthroscopic surgery is a modern method of performing surgery inside the joint through very small incisions. The incisions are usually about a quarter of an inch in length, with two or three incisions per joint necessary. A video camera is attached to the end of a long, thin microscope, which is placed inside the joint. Other long, thin, frequently motorized instruments are used to perform surgery inside joints. Knees and shoulders most commonly benefit, but this procedure can also be performed on other joints, such as ankles, hips, and wrists.
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which both sides of the joint surface are removed and replaced with a device replicating a healthy joint’s movement.
In the knee, it means replacing the thin cartilage surface on the lower joint surface (the tibia), the upper joint surface (the femur), and the joint surface under the kneecap. The procedure requires removing the thin cartilage surface and a thin surface of the bone and replacing it with metal, plastic or ceramic. This will allow all movement to occur between the metal and plastic parts of the device.
Injectable cortisone is synthetically produced and has many different trade names, such as Celestone, Kenalog and Depo-Medrol, but is a close derivative of your body’s own product. It can be injected into areas of the body that have become inflamed from overuse, injury, or arthritis, with significant relief of symptoms. Common areas for injection include the major joints such as hips, knees, or shoulders for arthritis or bursitis. Other problem areas such as tennis elbow, trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, or plantar fasciitis in the foot are common sites for injection. The most common side effect is a ‘cortisone flare,’ in which the injected cortisone can cause a brief period of pain worse than before the shot. This usually lasts a day or two and is best treated by icing the injected area. A careful injection technique is used to decrease the risk of infection. For patients with diabetes, there may be a transient increase in their blood sugar, so it should be monitored closely.
Synvisc is a different kind of treatment for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee that replaces damaged knee fluid in the knee joint. If mild exercise, physical therapy, or simple pain relievers like acetaminophen or other anti-inflammatory medications don’t provide relief, your doctor may recommend Synvisc as a treatment option. It is administered directly into the knee, one injection per week for three weeks. It may reduce osteoarthritis knee pain for up to six months, with maximum relief usually 6-8 weeks after the series. Some people may begin to experience pain relief after the first injection of Synvisc. However, completing all three injections is recommended for maximum benefit. The side effects most commonly seen when Synvisc is injected into the knee were pain, swelling and/or fluid build-up around the knee. Although rare, a rash may occur after the injection. Tell your doctor if you are allergic to products from birds, such as feathers, eggs, or poultry.
