Orthopedic Spine Surgery" addresses spinal conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Orthopedic surgeons perform specialized procedures aiming to alleviate pain and improve function, typically involving spinal fusion, decompression, or disc replacement.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that aims to stabilize and alleviate spinal disorders by fusing two or more vertebrae together. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as spinal fractures, degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, and spinal instability.

Laminectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the lamina or bony arch of a vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It is typically performed to treat spinal stenosis or a herniated disc that causes back pain, leg pain, and numbness.

Meniscectomy is a surgical procedure commonly performed to address meniscus injuries, which are prevalent knee injuries involving damage to the C-shaped pieces of cartilage known as menisci. The menisci play a vital role in shock absorption and knee joint stability.

Leg lengthening, also known as limb lengthening or limb reconstruction, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the length of the leg bones. It is primarily performed to address limb length discrepancies or to enhance the overall proportions of the body.
