Key Department Guide

Orthopedics / Joint Rehabilitation

The Orthopedic Joint Rehabilitation Department primarily serves patients after joint replacement surgery, arthroscopic surgery, internal fixation surgery for fractures, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and chronic joint pain. Rehabilitation focuses on reducing pain and swelling, restoring joint range of motion, strengthening muscle strength and proprioception, correcting gait, and promoting functional recovery. Treatment typically includes staged exercise prescriptions, manual therapy, physical therapy, guidance on braces and assistive devices, and home training management. For common surgeries such as total knee replacement, total hip replacement, and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, standardized rehabilitation helps improve early function and mobility; however, specific plans need to be individualized based on the surgical method, fixation stability, pain control, and comorbidities. If suspected infection, thrombosis, prosthesis instability, neurovascular compression, or progressive deformity occurs, further evaluation by an orthopedic specialist should be sought promptly. For elderly, obese, diabetic, and osteoporotic individuals, fall prevention and complication management should be strengthened.
