Arthroscopy is a keyhole surgical procedure used to examine or repair joints. In this keyhole surgery, small incisions are made in your body and a tiny camera is inserted. The images are presented on a screen and a device is used to correct the condition.

1. a) Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery

   ACL reconstruction is a surgical tissue graft replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, located in the knee, to restore its function after an injury.

   In this procedure, a ligament is constructed using a tendon to replace the ACL. The torn ligament can either be removed from the knee or preserved before reconstruction.

2. b) Subacromial decompression

   An arthroscopic procedure done to release the tight coracoacromial ligament and to remove bone tissue in the subacromial space.

A procedure that involves releasing the carpal ligament to alleviate pressure on the median nerve. This minor procedure can be performed as day surgery under local anaesthesia.

A trigger finger is a condition where one or more of the tendons in the hand are affected and unable to band the affected thumb or finger.

Two surgical options are:

1. a. Open trigger finger release
2. b. Percutaneous trigger finger release surgery

Both the surgeries only require local anaesthesia, and you would be able to return home the same day.

A tendon from one of your healthy fingers would be detached and reattached to the affected thumb or finger.

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure done to restore the functionality of a joint by resurfacing bones and replacing it using an artificial joint called prosthesis. This procedure is commonly done for osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease.

Arthroplasty may be recommended when medical treatments are insufficient to alleviate joint discomfort and/or disability.

The most common sites for joint surgery:

• Hip - Hip arthroplasty/total hip replacement
• Knee - Knee arthroplasty/total knee replacement

A spine osteotomy is a procedure to correct spinal deformities and restabilise the spine.

The procedures include:

• - Posterior spinal fusion
• - Anterior spinal fusion
• - Growth modulation techniques – vertebral body tethering

A discectomy is performed to treat herniated or slipped discs in the spine. It involves the removal of the part of the disc which is exerting pressure on the nerve. This can be done as an open surgery or minimally invasive.

A procedure that relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots caused by spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal resulting in pressure in the spinal cord. This causes pain, weakness, or numbness in your back, legs, arms, and neck.

This surgical procedure removes tissue and bone exerting pressure on the spine. It is also used to treat spinal injuries, herniated discs, and spinal tumours.

Depending on the type, location and severity of the fracture, a range of techniques are used to ensure that the bones are healing and stable to retain function. This may include immobilisation and the insertion of pins, plates, wires, and screws.
