The Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Department at Sapiens Hospital provides examination, diagnosis, and treatment for illnesses and injuries involving the bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles. Care is provided by specialist physicians and covers both non-surgical treatment and surgery using modern technology.
The Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Department at Sapiens Hospital provides care for conditions caused by a variety of factors, including age-related degeneration leading to degenerative bone conditions, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and degenerative or herniated discs. Lifestyle and work-related factors such as smoking, inappropriate body weight, prolonged sitting, and extended smartphone use may contribute to spinal and musculoskeletal problems. Injuries from accidents may result in fractures or cracks in the bones, while some patients may develop nerve-related symptoms that appear later. Genetic factors and sports injuries are also important causes, including both contact sports and sports involving repetitive use of specific muscle groups, such as golf, swimming, tennis, or badminton, which may cause lower back, back, or shoulder pain from repetitive twisting and muscle strain.
These conditions may cause pain, radiating pain, numbness, or difficulty moving the body in certain positions, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Some patients may experience symptoms severe enough to require a wheelchair, while athletes may seek treatment with the goal of recovering and returning to sports as quickly and safely as possible. Physicians therefore focus on identifying the underlying cause before developing a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s physical condition and rehabilitation goals.
Conditions Treated by the Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Department
- Age-related degenerative conditions – degenerative spine disease, herniated discs with nerve compression, osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, and hip osteoarthritis
- Office Syndrome, work-related conditions, and genetic factors – scoliosis and Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Movement-related or sports injuries – for example, golf may contribute to lower back, waist, and hip pain
- Movement-related or sports injuries – such as tennis, swimming, and badminton, which may cause shoulder pain, right shoulder pain, or shoulder tendon inflammation
- Movement-related or sports injuries – such as football and marathon running, which may cause knee tendon inflammation, patellar fracture, ACL tear, or ankle sprain
Treatment Techniques
Specialist physicians evaluate each patient’s condition and provide treatment options appropriate to the individual’s physical condition, including:
- Pain treatment in collaboration with the Pain Management Center, or treatment of muscle inflammation through physical therapy and medication
- Arthroscopic tendon repair surgery to reduce the need for larger surgical incisions and support faster recovery
- Arthroscopic orthopedic surgery for patients with bone and joint conditions requiring precision during surgery
- Total knee replacement surgery for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
- Total hip replacement surgery for patients with severe hip osteoarthritis
Care also includes diagnostic imaging with X-rays to evaluate bone abnormalities before treatment planning, physical therapy using modern rehabilitation equipment to restore muscle and joint function, and arthroscopic surgery using modern surgical equipment in appropriately controlled operating-room environments to support patient safety.
