·         Spinal Stenosis

·         Herniated disks

Lumbar Disc Replacement – replaces an injured or diseased disk in the lower back region

 

Cervical Disc Replacement – replaces an injured or diseased disk in the neck region

 

Laminaplasty – procedure that relieves compression of the spinal cord in the neck area of the spine

 

Laminectomy – involves removing of the lamina (top or roof of a vertebrae) from the spinal column to allow more room for the spinal cord and nerves

 

Laminotomy – involves trimming or removing some of the lamina from the spinal column

Today, spine care specialists and surgeons can perform a variety of minimally invasive spine surgery procedures on all areas of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas. Some of the most common procedures include but are not limited to:

Minimally invasive spine surgical procedures also offer treatments for microsurgical treatment of herniated discs, lumbar spinal stenosis, spinal fusion, scoliosis, compression fractures, osteoporosis, and in the treatment of spinal tumors, vertebral fractures and more.

Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is the process through which an artificial structure replaces the defective or damaged disc in the spinal column, providing support, cushioning and improvement in mobility for spinal surgery patients.

Laminectomy or laminotomy are common procedures performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. In many cases, aging of the spinal structure causes of thinning of the vertebra, especially the portion called the lamina, which protects the spinal cord. A laminectomy removes this lamina and also is used to address thickening tissue that narrows the spinal canal and causes compression of spinal nerves.

A discectomy involves the removal of herniated disc tissues that press on nerves or other portions of spinal cord. This type of procedure is very effective for individuals who have tried other options without relief and who experience and suffer from severe pain and difficulty walking, sitting, and other basic movements.

International medical facilities such as Wooridul Spine Hospital in South Korea and the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan are world-renowned, accredited and high-tech facilities for spinal care.

Orthopedic surgeries are designed to provide and promote the health and healing of bone and joint needs associated with a wide variety of orthopedic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and hip problems, arthritis, and sports injuries such as maybe e.g.,) tennis elbow or rotator cuff surgery.  The scope of orthopedic specialties enables treatment of joint injuries as well as those caused by ligament, tendon, or nerve damage.

•      Knee Surgery

•      Hip Replacement Surgery

•      Hip Resurfacing Surgery

•      Shoulder Surgery

•      Elbow Surgery

•      Hand Surgery

•      Total Knee Replacement

 

Orthopedic treatments and surgeries help to treat chronic diseases such as various forms of arthritis in the hands, knees and back. For example, rheumatoid arthritis severely inhibits mobility in the fingers and hands. Treatments and surgeries designed to relieve pain and increase mobility require a team effort from specialists in orthopedic surgery as well as specialists who focus on the musculature damage such arthritis causes. Orthopedic treatment may help or repair damage caused to hip joints caused by traumatic injuries, fractures or osteoarthritis conditions. Such treatments may require surgical procedures to replace broken joints with partial or total artificial joints, as well as the use of pins or braces to hold bone sections together.

Facilities around the world, such as Wooridul Spine Hospital in South Korea and the CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey are dedicated to providing the best orthopedic care at prices most Americans can afford.
