Orthopedic surgery refers to all interventions performed on the musculoskeletal system in the event of injuries or various conditions.
The musculoskeletal system includes the bones, joints and adjacent soft tissues: muscles (which protect and allow movement of bones and joints), ligaments (which connect bones) and tendons (which connect muscles to bones).
This surgical specialty is constantly growing and currently includes endoscopic surgery and 3D laparoscopy, as well as bone grafts and orthopedic prostheses.

When to consult an orthopedic surgeon in Tunisia?
The consultation of an orthopedic and trauma surgeon is done at the request of the attending physician or another specialist. It is necessary in cases of very disabling joint pain, a limitation in the use of a joint, a risk of aggravation of an injury (fracture poorly reduced, risk of spontaneous fracture), a bone deformity, etc..
Orthopedic surgery can be performed either in a conventional hospital or on an outpatient basis. Depending on the importance of the pathology to be operated on, the patient may be placed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon, equipped with an endoscope, then performs an arthroscopy (small incision) to reach the affected parts.
Then, he can reduce bone fractures or dislocations, stitch up large wounds or widen the incision for further exploration to check for the presence of associated tendon or joint injuries.
When the orthopedic surgeon finds himself in the presence of senescent joints or joints affected by osteoarthritis, his intervention will in this case revolve around the replacement of the deficiencies with prosthetic systems. Sometimes, when the fracture or injury is not significant, the specialist may decide to simply put a cast or splint on the joint and not perform an operation.
In general, post-operative orthopedic surgery gives rise to pain that can sometimes be unbearable. This is why the patient is taken to the recovery room immediately after the operation so that any pain is taken care of by the nurse anesthetists.
After 48 hours or even 72 hours of hospitalization, the patient can return home in complete peace of mind. A rest of at least four weeks will be imposed to allow him to recover completely. The effects of an orthopedic operation are felt after several weeks, when the pain completely disappears and gives way to a better joy of life than before the operation.
Trauma surgery Tunisia is the surgical specialty that focuses on the treatment and management of injuries, often fatal, caused by impact forces. The causes of impact forces are numerous, but some of the most common are traffic accidents, falls, sports injuries and crushes, as well as gunshot or stab wounds.
In catastrophic incidents, surgeons are often part of a larger team of specialized surgeons such as orthopedic, vascular, maxillofacial, cardiothoracic, cosmetic, and neurosurgeons.
