What Is Orthopedic Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal system — including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It can correct deformities, repair injuries, or replace damaged joints using advanced techniques and modern prostheses.
To help you overcome pain and regain function faster, our private orthopedic clinic emphasizes minimally invasive approaches that are highly effective and allow for reduced downtime and post-operative risks.
Conditions Treated
We treat various orthopedic conditions with personalized care tailored to your needs. Here are some of the most common problems we treat:

Frequently Asked Questions
When is orthopedic surgery necessary?
Surgery is considered when conservative treatments (drugs, physiotherapy, injections) are no longer effective, and the pain or dysfunction significantly affects daily life.
How long does recovery take?
It depends on the type of procedure. For instance, arthroscopy recovery will likely take a few weeks, while a full joint replacement may take several months of recovery.
How long do I have to stay in the hospital after orthopedic surgery?
There are outpatient options that require only a few hours of hospitalization. For more complex operations like joint replacement, however, you may have to stay in the orthopedic private clinic for at least 2 to 5 days.
Is physiotherapy necessary after surgery?
Yes, rehab is essential for restoring mobility and muscle strength.
How long before I regain full mobility?
This depends on the procedure and the effort you put into recovery. Generally, this may take a few weeks or months.
When can I return to sports or driving after orthopedic surgery?
You may be advised to avoid sports for 3 to 6 months to ensure a full recovery. For driving, it’s generally recommended that you stay off the wheel for 4 to 6 weeks. However, these time frames may depend on the type of surgery.
What types of exercise are safe post-surgery?
You can start with light movement and muscle-toning exercises, followed by progressive exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
