ORTHOPEDICS

The Department of Orthopedics at Salus Hospital deals with the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the osteo-articular apparatus (loco-motor) with special reference to the surgical treatment of degenerative and traumatic articular diseases. Salus has modern equipment and apparatus for a fair and efficient diagnosis of orthopedic pathologies and for performing diagnostic and operative endoscopic methods.

Treated pathologies:
Knee surgery
Prosthetic surgery
Shoulder surgery
Foot surgery
Hand surgery

Types of surgeries:
Knee Surgery
LCA anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Meniscectomy
Meniscus suture
Synovial fluid pathology
Cartilage pathology through microperforations and chondroabrasions (cartilage repair intervention)
Prosthetic Surgery
Hamstring arthroprosthesis (coxo-femoral joint prosthesis)
Knee arthroprosthesis (total and monocompartmental prosthesis)
Review of hamstring (coxo-femoral) and knee prosthetic implants
Placement of reconstructive prosthesis implants (prosthetic revision) in case of hamstring and knee tumoral pathologies
Prosthesis of Femoral Neck Fractures (Traumatic Cases)
Osteotomy of the tibia
Shoulder prosthesis (total or partial)
Ankle prosthesis
Shoulder Surgery
Degenerative pathology of the rotator cuff
Shoulder instability (habitual luxation of the humeral head and other instabilities)
Foot Surgery
Hallux valgus
Metatarsal pain syndrome
Sole trauma
Pediatric flat feet (Dystaban)
Hammer toes
Dupuytren's disease
