Several post operation instructions are available depending on the type of surgery that has been done. These may involve adopting specific postures such as elevating the knee to certain angle for knee surgery, use of ice, use of medication and even when to start physical therapy. In total hip replacement surgery, the patient may be at risk of blood clot in the leg veins, a condition called deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The patient therefore requires DVT prophylaxis for a period of time. Good post operation care and attention is important for quick recovery and Samved orthopedic hospital is able to provide this level of care.

Pain Management in Ortho – Surgery

Physicians usually anticipate acute pain in orthopedic surgery and its management must be included in the treatment plan. Analgesic options have increased with drugs of new mode of actions and delivery being discovered every day. There is also a gradual shift to ambulatory surgery as well as shorter hospital stays.

New ways of pain management have resulted from better understanding of the neural system and development of acute pain. There is also the emergence of Pre – emptive analgesia aiming at preventing anticipated pain.

Pain management strategies include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine, usage of opioids, local anesthetics and androgenic agents. Usage of more than one mode with different mechanism of action has achieved better pain control and lesser side effects.

Shoulder Replacement Improves Quality of Life

This is an important procedure done especially for people experiencing arthritis of the shoulder, where the cartilage located on the humeral head and glenoid deteriorates, gradually exposing areas of raw bone. Increased friction and abrasion causes the shoulder joint capsule to be inflamed and contracted.

In this case shoulder replacement surgery becomes the next best alternative, when all other forms of therapy have failed. Success of shoulder replacement procedure is highly dependent on the skill and expertise of the surgeon.

As technology advances, shoulder replacement has been proven an effective means of restoring lost comfort and functioning of the shoulder. This is due to improved durability of the replacement parts, and higher skill level among surgeons.

Importance of Patient Education

Different types of therapies have certain specific information that is valuable to the patient that contributes to shortening the healing process. They guide the patient on what to expect on the road to recovery and what can be done to avoid any complications and maximize favorable outcomes. Advanced medical facilities give clear information on the all available alternatives, the pre operative and post operative processes and expected outcomes. Patients and their family members, understanding these processes have been seen to make recovery easier.
