A fracture is a broken bone. A sprain occurs when you injure the ligaments that connect your bones.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for deciding when to have surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon or other physicians can help determine when surgery is the most appropriate next step. This includes whether there is pain and whether the injury or condition is affecting the quality of life.

Pain and swelling are associated with almost all orthopedic surgeries, including joint replacement surgery and revision surgery (surgery to replace an artificial joint that has worn out from previous surgery). Your doctor and clinical team will work with you to effectively manage your pain and heal as you expect.

 Many factors determine how long it takes to fully recover and see the benefits of orthopedic surgery. Some patients take weeks to recover. For others, it can take months. Depending on your general health, the conditions you are undergoing, and the type of surgery you have, you may be able to go home the same day or the day after your total joint replacement. In most cases, you will be discharged home. Home nursing or outpatient physical therapy maximizes the benefits of surgery. A small group of patients may need to spend several days in a qualified care facility before being sent home. Talk to your orthopedic surgeon to learn more about what your individual recovery plan looks like.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a specialized branch of a hospital that cares for patients with serious, life-threatening injuries and illnesses. Intensive care units have a higher nurse-to-patient ratio than other parts of the hospital. We can also provide specialized treatments such as B. Life Extension.

Critical care is the long-term care of patients suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Emergency medicine is short-term care for these patients. We also treat patients with minor injuries (such as ankle sprains and arm fractures). In the emergency room, doctors and nurses stabilize patients and transport them to the intensive care unit (ICU) or other areas of the hospital for further treatment.
