One of these is osteoarthritis, in which the cartilage that serves as cushion betw

Ankle Replacement treatments abroad Ankle replacement surgery is the replacement of a damaged ankle joint with an artificial implant. The ankle joint (tibiotalar joint) is where your shinbone (tibia) rests on top of a bone of your foot, the talus. Arthritis can affect this joint as well as other joints in the foot. Over time, the smooth cartilage on the surface of the bones wears away. This can result in pain, inflammation, and swelling of your joint.  

Shoulder Labrum Surgery abroad The three bones that make up the shoulder are the scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone), and humerus (upper arm bone). A shallow, flat portion of the shoulder blade called the glenoid is where the labrum, a rubbery tissue, is found. The labrum's role is to create a cup-like shape known as the shoulder socket. The shoulder socket allows the arm to move normally.

Ankle Surgery abroad Ankle surgery may be an option when more-conservative treatments don't relieve ankle pain caused by severe arthritis.

Knee Sprain Treatment abroad A knee sprain is an injury of the ligaments, tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect the bones of the upper and lower leg at the knee joint. The knee joint has four major ligaments. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) Medial collateral ligament (MCL) Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

Shoulder Arthroplasty abroad The shoulder complex, composed of the clavicle, scapula, and has sacrificed stability for mobility,which makes it vulnerable and susceptible to injury, dysfunction and instability. The most common indication for an arthroplasty is pain that has not responded well to conservative management or a severe fracture. Depending upon the mechanism of dysfunction or injury a shoulder arthroplasty can either be a partial or total replacement.  

Congenital Hip Dislocation Treatment abroad Congenital hip dislocation (CHD) occurs when a child is born with an unstable hip.

Toe Joint Replacement abroad,

Ankle Fusion Surgery abroad In this procedure, the surgeon roughens the ends of the damaged bones and then fastens them together with metal plates and screws. During the healing process, the damaged bones fuse together into one combined bone. Ankle fusion is usually very successful in relieving arthritis pain. But it also reduces the ankle's motion. To make up for this, nearby joints may move more — which increases the risk of developing arthritis in these joints. Ankle fusion

Knee Ligament Surgery (MCL) abroad The most common knee ligament injury is an injury to the medial aspect of the knee. There are three main anatomic structures on the medial side of the knee, with the medial collateral ligament (MCL) being the largest and strongest. A large number of isolated MCL medial knee injuries are due to sporting events. They can be either a contact or non-contact stress to the outside of their knee, which in turn stretches or tears the medial knee structures on t
