Orthopedic equipment

Generally there are mainly the following: two "C" arm X-ray machines, plasma radiofrequency ablation machine, laser, ozone generator and other cervical and lumbar intervertebral disc minimally invasive surgical equipment and a variety of physical therapy instruments and other equipment.

The Department of Traumatology and Orthopaedics has taken bone and joint injuries of the limbs, bone tumors and various kinds of complex fractures as its clinical tasks and research directions, and has treated a large number of patients with spine, pelvis and limb fractures by adopting the internationally advanced AO and BO theories and techniques, and has achieved satisfactory clinical results. The Department of Spine Surgery has successfully carried out surgical treatments for spinal tumors, cervical and lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, as well as minimally invasive surgical treatments for cervical spondylosis and lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. The Department of Hand and Foot Surgery has successfully carried out surgical treatments such as replanting and functional reconstruction of amputated limbs and fingers, plastic surgery and transplantation of various skin flaps throughout the body.

The application of orthopedic soft fixation functional support makes the rehabilitation after bone and joint injury possible. The brace, also known as orthosis, is an extracorporeal support device aimed at alleviating the dysfunction of the limbs, spine, and skeletal muscle system. The functions of the brace are: 1. stabilization and support; 2. fixation; 3. protection; 4. mobility (walking); 5. prevention of deformity; 6. weight-bearing.

(1) With the increasing popularity of X-ray machines, clinicians tend to ignore the importance of pathological examination, in fact, there are many fractures and bone diseases, as long as a careful examination can often lead to a correct diagnosis, and even make up for the shortcomings of X-ray examination, such as the lower ulnar-radial joint subluxation, due to the relationship between the angle of illumination, often do not show up on the X-ray film, but it is not difficult to diagnose the physiological examination.

(2) in the examination do not focus on the patient's complaints, and do not reveal a very limited small area. Localized observation is often not comprehensive enough, and should be revealed to a sufficient extent in order not to miss the diagnosis. The examination should be both comprehensive and focused, paying attention to posture, posture, skin, joint swelling and gait as needed. In palpation, a gentle touch is appropriate, and bone rubbing sounds should not be forced in order to diagnose a fracture, and are usually only inadvertently obtained when the casualty is being carried.

(3) check joint movement for orthopedic examination of an important content. It is important to understand the direction of motion of the joints commonly illustrated in three planes, the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes. The movements along these three planes are extension-flexion, abduction-adduction and internal rotation-external rotation. The range of joint motion can be accurately recorded with various styles of arthrogoniometers.

(4) Determination of muscle strength and limb measurement is another important element. Muscle strength is graded from 0 to 5. Measurement of the limb includes both length and circumference, and there are two kinds of comparative methods and tape measurements.

(v) In cases with neuro-vascular injury, neurological and vascular examination is also necessary. There are also a variety of special examination methods, which are described in the relevant content.

Minimally invasive treatment

Minimally invasive treatment is an advanced treatment that applies laser, radiofrequency, ozone, and other physical modalities under local anesthesia to dissolve the protruding nucleus pulposus and reduce the pressure in the intervertebral disc. This will relieve the pressure of the herniated discs on the spinal cord and nerve roots, and achieve the therapeutic goal.
