Traditional Surgical Treatments
Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics focuses on the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and even skin.

JOINT SURGERY
The joint moves with the sliding cartilage surfaces. Injury on these surfaces, factors that disrupt the surface also disrupt the opposite side throughout the movement. Over time, both surfaces begin to erode each other. In a small spot, a groove the diameter of the injury appears, the articular cartilage quickly disappears. If your joints have passed the point of no return, joint surgery may be an option.

SPINE SURGERY
Traditional spine surgery is also called open spine surgery. During surgery, the surgeon makes a large incision (usually about 15 cm long) in the back. In a process called stretching, it breaks the spinal cord muscles apart to move them away from the bone. After making the bones of the spine visible, the necessary spinal process begins.
