Orthopedic surgery may be necessary in various situations, such as:
- Severe fractures that require realignment or stabilization of bones.
- Chronic joint pain and dysfunction that do not respond to conservative treatments.
- Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis that cause significant pain and functional limitations.
- Ligament or tendon injuries that require repair or reconstruction.
- Spine conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or spinal deformities that affect daily activities or pose a risk to the nervous system.
- Sports injuries, such as torn ligaments (ACL, MCL), meniscal tears, or rotator cuff tears.
