 Some of the surgeries that a local orthopedic surgeon might perform include hip replacement or knee replacements due to arthritis, ankylosing spondylosis surgery, gout surgery and thumb arthritis surgery. The meniscus is often injured as athletes attempt a twisting or weight-bearing motion (other common knee injuries from sports include ACL and MCL injury). Meniscus injuries are more common for people over the age of 30, as the meniscus weakens as we age. They can also occur as a result of diseases such as osteoarthritis. Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee, localized swelling, loss of range of motion and a sensation of the hip locking or not being able to straighten it completely. If surgery is required, an orthopedic surgeon will perform arthroscopic surgery to prevent further damage to the knee. Meniscus surgery is generally a day procedure, with patients going home on crutches. The recovery time is usually around two weeks.

Please contact ( Dr. Jack Rocco, Local Orthopedic Surgeon Hollidaysburg, PA ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. A local Orthopedic Surgeon treats carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The median nerve gives feeling to the thumb, the index finger, the long finger, and half of the ring finger. The carpal tunnel is covered by a ligament called a transverse retinacular ligament. When there is swelling in this area, it puts pressure onto the retinaculum, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.   Always talk with your Local Orthopedic Surgeon about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments and procedures the Local Orthopedic Surgeon  could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you.

Recovery after knee replacement surgery typically involves a period of physical therapy and rehabilitation to help regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the knee joint. Most people experience significant pain relief and improvement in their ability to perform daily activities after undergoing knee replacement surgery. However, it's important to note that individual outcomes may vary, and the success of the procedure depends on various factors, including the individual's overall health and adherence to post-operative care instructions.
