The difference between spinal surgery and orthopedics

Some people simply cannot tell the difference between spinal surgery and orthopedics, so they will choose the wrong department when they go to the hospital for examination, which results in their illness not being treated and examined well in the first place. In fact, only when you have bone diseases will you go to the orthopedics for treatment, while spinal surgery is only for some spinal lesions, so the two departments cannot be confused.

Intervertebral disc disease: promoting the concept of "intervertebral disc supermarket". Choose appropriate treatment methods for patients, such as traction, massage, physical therapy, posterior endoscopy, incision and suction, ozone, plasma, radiofrequency, fenestration, etc., and adhere to the idea of ​​"conservative if possible, no surgery; simple if possible, no complexity".

Spinal instability and spondylolisthesis: intervertebral bone grafting and fusion with posterior decompression screw-rod internal fixation combined with traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Spinal osteoporosis: Using PVP, PKP technology + Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment - kidney-tonifying and blood-activating method to strengthen the waist and kidneys and improve bone density.

Spinal trauma fracture and dislocation: For patients without bone fragments in the spinal canal, manipulation combined with pillow therapy can be used for treatment. For patients with bone fragments in the spinal canal, posterior decompression screw-rod internal fixation or combined with PVP technology can be used.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Use traditional Chinese medicine to prevent deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs after surgery. Patients who have undergone spinal or major surgery are prone to developing deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, which causes pain and postoperative risks to the patients and increases their costs. Our department uses traditional Chinese medicine to replenish qi, activate blood circulation and strengthen the spleen before and after surgery, which can effectively prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.

Orthopedics is one of the most common departments in major hospitals. It mainly studies the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the skeletal muscle system, and uses drugs, surgery and physical methods to maintain and develop the normal form and function of this system. With the changes of the times and society, the spectrum of orthopedic injuries has changed significantly. For example, diseases such as bone and joint tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, and polio have decreased significantly, while trauma caused by traffic accidents has increased significantly. Changes in the spectrum of orthopedic injuries require orthopedics to keep pace with the times.

Orthopedics is also known as orthopedic surgery. It is a specialty or discipline in medicine that specializes in the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the musculoskeletal system, using drugs, surgery, and physical methods to maintain and develop the normal form and function of this system, as well as to treat injuries and diseases of this system.

With the development and progress of science and technology, orthopedics has made great progress in diagnosis and treatment. The establishment and development of hand surgery has rapidly popularized and improved the diagnosis and treatment techniques of hand injuries; the widespread development of microsurgery has made it possible to reconstruct the hand with polydactyly, anastomose and release nerve bundles, and anastomoses between 0.2mm arterioles, which are no longer myths; the use of new surgical procedures to treat diseases such as scoliosis, cervical spondylosis and cervical stenosis has achieved good orthopedic results; various effective surgical procedures have been adopted for arthritis patients, allowing patients who have been bedridden for many years to stand up again; the treatment of malignant bone tumors has developed from single amputation to comprehensive treatment, which has improved the cure rate and survival rate of surgery; the clinical application of knee arthroscopy has not only solved the diagnosis of some difficult joint diseases, but also achieved simultaneous diagnosis and treatment; with the development of materials science, some complex fractures can also be treated with internal fixation; the functions and performance of artificial joints and artificial vertebrae have also become more perfect. In short, the development of orthopedics is inseparable from the development of basic medicine, especially experimental medicine and materials science.
