What is orthopedic sports medicine? ”Orthopedic sports medicine is an emerging clinical discipline that has just started in China. With the success of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the implementation of the “Olympic Glory Plan” and the “National Fitness Plan”, China is gradually moving towards the goal of becoming a “strong sports nation”. China is bound to require a leap forward in sports medicine in China. In the past, most people, even doctors, were very unfamiliar with the concept of “sports medicine”, and they had never heard of “orthopedic sports medicine”. The sports injuries that we specialize in treating are not only common among professional athletes, but also occur around ordinary people. It includes acute injuries as well as chronic strain injuries, various joint injuries, the most common ones are knee meniscus injury, articular cartilage injury, cruciate ligament injury, patellofemoral joint injury, joint instability and repeated sprains, rotator cuff injury, shoulder dislocation, acromion impingement, synovitis, muscle injury, tendinopathy, osteoarthritis, tennis elbow …… All injured athletes and people in general want to treat their injuries with as little trauma as possible and regain their ability to play and work. Based on the treatment concept of “less injury, better healing, faster recovery and better function”, “orthopedic sports medicine” has injected new energy into traditional medicine and raised many new issues, so this field has developed rapidly in recent years. At present, “arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery” is one of the main weapons of “orthopedic sports medicine”, and its advantages of minimally invasive surgery are obvious. As a result, arthroscopic surgery has been flourishing and related surgical instruments have been developed for the benefit of patients. What is arthroscopic surgery? Traditional surgery for joint sports injuries usually requires an incision of the joint capsule in order to treat intra-articular disorders, but there are still many limitations, as many intra-articular sites cannot be reached and many lesions cannot be operated on. Incision of the joint capsule also undoubtedly increases the degree of joint damage and affects postoperative recovery. Postoperative wounds are often painful and swollen, and the degree of recovery is unsatisfactory. There are also the disadvantages of longer hospital stays, increased medical costs, and excessive use of medications. For more serious joint injuries, it is often difficult for athletes to regain their athletic ability. Once the injury is severe, it often signals the end of an athletic career. The concept of sports injury treatment is to repair the tissue structure and function of the injured person in the shortest possible time with the smallest possible trauma treatment to maximize the recovery of athletic ability while improving the quality of life. Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are the core of the treatment tools and guarantee satisfactory results. Arthroscopy is a kind of endoscopy, which consists of a set of precise optical images and a special operating system, and its principle is to transmit the images in the joint cavity through optical fibers, and to perform surgery under direct view of the arthroscope, using an arthroscope with only 5mm diameter and special “electric forceps” and “electric knife The procedure is performed with a 5 mm diameter arthroscope and special “electric forceps” and “electric knife” materials, and the skin wound is only about 0.4 cm. The arthroscope is also able to magnify images of structures within the joint, making it possible to view very fine structures in greater detail than with the naked eye under incisional surgery. By selecting different access routes, the arthroscope can visualize almost all parts of the joint, providing a more comprehensive view than traditional surgery with an incision. It has become an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries. In the past decade, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery has developed rapidly, thanks to the progress of academic research, the improvement of equipment and the promotion of arthroscopic technology, it is no exaggeration to say that arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery has become one of the fastest growing surgical techniques in the 21st century. The Department of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic Surgery of Huashan Hospital of Fudan University is the only sports medicine specialty in Shanghai’s medical and health system and the first batch of arthroscopic specialist training bases of the Ministry of Health, specializing in minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to treat various intra-articular injuries and diseases. It is one of the few specialized medical units in China that can successfully perform the five major arthroscopic minimally invasive reconstructive surgeries on the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow and hip, and the treatment level is leading in China and keeping pace with the world. What are the advantages of arthroscopic surgery? Arthroscopic surgery, also known as “Key Hole Surgery”, is a major advancement in modern surgery and the direction of future surgical development. Compared with traditional open surgery, it has the following significant advantages: it is truly minimally invasive surgery, small incision (about 0.4cm), less post-operative scars (same surgery, different aesthetics), clearer diagnosis, more delicate surgery, high safety, better results than traditional open surgery (same surgery, different results), less tissue damage, fast post-operative recovery, usually the next day you can walk and live on your own ( Same surgery, different recovery) Short hospitalization time, average 2~4 days, also can be discharged within 24 hours (you do not need to be surprised, this is the magic of arthroscopy; in foreign countries, patients can even be discharged on the same day of surgery.) Total medical costs are reduced, patients are satisfied, doctors are satisfied, and insurance companies are satisfied. What is individualized rehabilitation? Traditional surgeons often put more emphasis on surgery than rehabilitation, believing that after surgery it is irrelevant to him, not realizing that patients have a long way to go after surgery to truly regain function and health. As the saying goes, five points of surgery, five points of rehabilitation, to meet ten points of surgical results, we must have a professional rehabilitation team. Since there are individual differences in the population, different people have different diseases, and even the same disease may vary in different people, we need to develop different rehabilitation programs for different conditions. Our individualized rehabilitation approach is one of our special features. We provide you with the most suitable post-operative rehabilitation program tailored to your condition, the results of your surgery, your physical constitution, and other factors, with personal guidance and a special post-operative rehabilitation clinic to provide you with convenience. We guarantee the maximum, fastest and safest recovery of post-operative functions. Say goodbye to contempt, unchanging, and no door to recovery, and escort you in all aspects!
