Key Department Guide

Joint Surgery

The Department of Orthopaedics primarily diagnoses and treats osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affecting the joints, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, joint deformities, and post-joint replacement surgery problems. Treatments include medication, injections, orthotics, arthroscopy, and joint replacement. For end-stage knee and hip osteoarthritis, joint replacement can significantly relieve pain and improve function, but the risks of infection, thrombosis, prosthesis loosening, and revision surgery must be assessed. For younger patients, efforts are made to preserve the joint as much as possible and optimize exercise and weight management. Postoperative rehabilitation has a significant impact on functional outcomes; therefore, muscle strengthening exercises and complication prevention should be emphasized.
