Orthopedic surgery

A joint medical decision

To stay at the cutting edge of modern surgical techniques, which offer the best results and optimal patient safety, our team makes decisions jointly, with the involvement of orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, radiologists, anesthetists and physical medicine physicians. Each patient is considered case by case, to choose the ideal therapeutic indication and the most appropriate surgical technique.

Hip, knee and shoulder prosthetic surgery

An integral and essential part of modern orthopedic surgery, it consists in the partial or total replacement of a joint with a prosthesis. This surgery stands out as the therapeutic alternative of choice for functional disability caused by osteoarthritis or traumatic sequelae, by ensuring optimal functional comfort and a restoration of the joint biomechanics as close as possible to the natural state of the damaged joint.

Spinal surgery

Spinal surgeries concern the cervical region, the dorsal region or, more frequently, the lumbar spine. The most common lumbar spine surgeries are nerve decompressions. Their main purpose is not to alleviate lower back pain, but to reduce lower limb symptoms (weakness or pain).

In case of spine instability, for example if a vertebra slips out of place, the decompression surgery must be supplemented by a spinal stabilization surgery called arthrodesis. Most lumbar surgeries are performed via a posterior approach; for well-selected cases, we may access the spine via a minimally invasive anterior approach.

Arthroscopic surgery

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic surgery technique. Through two or three mini incisions, an optic attached to a camera makes it possible to visualize the inside of the joint, the cartilages, the ligaments and the tendon insertions. Besides diagnosis, it enables surgeons to perform biopsies, suctions and/or surgical procedures with mini instruments, without fully opening the joint.

Increasingly widespread in Tunisia, arthroscopic surgery is increasingly mastered in terms of interventional accuracy, and ensures minor post-operative effects and a lower complication rate.

Minimally invasive foot surgery

This type of surgery results from the ongoing evolution of classical techniques for foot deformity correction. It aims for pinpoint accuracy, is performed via an extra-articular approach and reconstructs the anatomy of the foot through corrections in the three planes of space. It has become a reference technique for the treatment of deformed feet, particularly hallux valgus, rigidus or flexus.
