What Can You Expect From Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic Surgery

If you are considering orthopedic surgery, it is essential to understand what the procedure entails and what you can expect from the process. At Mattalino Orthopaedic, we offer a wide range of orthopedic surgeries to treat various conditions, from knee replacements to shoulder replacements and elbow surgeries. An orthopedic surgeon in Phoenix, highly trained and experienced in the latest surgical techniques and technology, can provide you with the best possible outcome.

What Is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgery is a specialized area of medicine that deals with conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. If you are suffering from a condition that impacts your musculoskeletal system and your quality of life, your doctor may recommend orthopedic surgery as a viable treatment option.

Overall, orthopedic surgery offers a range of benefits for patients, including pain relief, improved mobility and functionality, prevention of further damage, reduced reliance on medication, and faster recovery times. Patients can expect to work with an experienced and skilled orthopedic surgeon in Angelo J. Mattalino, MD, who will provide personalized care and treatment to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.

Joint Replacement

One of the most common reasons for orthopedic surgery is joint replacement. Knee and hip replacements are among the most common procedures, and they can significantly improve mobility and quality of life for patients with severe joint pain or damage. During these procedures, the surgeon removes damaged portions of the joint and replaces them with artificial components made of metal and plastic.

Shoulder Care

Shoulder surgery is another common type of procedure offered by our orthopedic surgeon in Phoenix. Rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, and arthritis are among the most common reasons for shoulder surgery. Depending on the specific condition, the surgeon may perform arthroscopy, open surgery, or a combination of both.

Other Categories of Injury

At Mattalino Orthopaedic, we know that injuries that warrant orthopedic surgery can be complex, and we are committed to providing solutions to a number of different orthopedic concerns. Other types of orthopedic surgery that we offer include elbow surgeries and other knee or shoulder procedures for more complex injuries.

 

Working successfully in this field requires specialized training and expertise. At Mattalino Orthopaedic, patients can expect to receive personalized care and attention from their orthopedic surgeon no matter what the nature of their condition or required care. While surgery is often considered a last resort for many patients, there are numerous benefits associated with orthopedic surgery that can improve a patient’s quality of life.

Benefits

  • Improved Mobility and Functionality
  • Reduced Pain and Discomfort
  • Faster Recovery Time
  • Improved Quality of Life
  • Long-Term Benefits
  • Prevention of Future Injury

Initial Consultation and Diagnosis

Before undergoing orthopedic surgery, you will have an initial consultation with Angelo J. Mattalino, MD. During this consultation, our surgeon will evaluate your medical history, and symptoms, in order to conduct a thorough physical examination.

 

Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans to get a more detailed view of your condition. Once we have evaluated your condition, our orthopedic surgeon will provide you with a diagnosis and recommend a course of treatment.

Pre-Operative Evaluation

If you and your surgeon have agreed on orthopedic surgery, you will need to undergo a pre-operative evaluation. During this evaluation, our medical team will conduct a series of tests to make sure the surgery goes smoothly and leads to the best possible results for the patient.

The pre-operative evaluation may include a blood test, urine test, electrocardiogram (ECG), and chest X-ray. If necessary, additional tests may be ordered based on your medical history and the type of surgery you will undergo. With the help of Dr. Mattalino, you can rest assured that your health will be in capable hands throughout your treatment process.

Orthopedic Surgery Procedure

The surgical procedure itself can vary depending on the condition being treated and the surgical approach chosen by your surgeon. Dr. Mattalino uses the latest surgical techniques to minimize trauma, reduce scarring, and speed up the recovery process. As a result, the surgery is typically only a few hours long, taking up to as little as two hours to complete.

After the procedure is completed, you will be taken to a recovery room, where you will be monitored by our medical team. We are committed to making your recovery as simple and quick as possible. Although this surgery process does involve some time in recovery, it will be made easier for you through the help and services of professionals and medical experts committed to enabling your progress on the road to recovery.

Surgery for Knees

Knee injuries are a common problem that can result from sports injuries, falls, and accidents. If you have sustained a knee injury, Dr. Mattalino can perform a range of surgeries to help you regain mobility and reduce pain. The most common types of knee surgeries, all of which are available at our center include ACL Reconstruction, Meniscus Repair, and Knee Replacement.

 

Surgery for Shoulders

The shoulder is a complex joint that is prone to a variety of injuries and conditions. Dr. Mattalino can perform a range of shoulder surgeries to help patients regain mobility and reduce pain. At Mattalino Orthopaedic we offer a number of services for these types of injuries, including Rotator Cuff Repair, Shoulder Replacement, and Bankart Repair.

We work with complex diagnoses, helping patients understand the nature of their condition and how best to proceed with their treatment. After following a thorough diagnosis process, our medical professionals will be able to recommend the care you need to fix any shoulder damage you may be suffering from.

Surgery for Elbows

Elbow pain can be debilitating and greatly affect daily life activities. Fortunately, advances in orthopedic surgery have led to the development of innovative treatments for elbow pain, including PRP and regenerative medicine injections.

PRP injections, or Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are offered to treat these types of injuries and conditions. This treatment has been shown to be effective in treating various elbow conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and even osteoarthritis. Regenerative medicine injections, also known as stem cell injections, are also a helpful treatment option available at Mattalino Orthopaedic. This treatment is effective in treating a range of elbow conditions, including tendonitis, ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

Once you are discharged from the hospital, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully. This may include taking medication and attending physical therapy sessions as recommended by Dr. Mattalino.

The length of your recovery period will depend on the type of surgery you have undergone and your overall health. While recovery can seem like a daunting part of your surgery, our team will be with you every step of the way to ensure that your treatment has a successful outcome.

Personalized Care

If you are considering orthopedic surgery, it’s important to choose a provider who understands your unique needs and is committed to providing personalized care and attention. Every patient’s experience with orthopedic surgery is different, and the recovery process can vary widely depending on the type of surgery performed and the individual patient’s circumstances. However, with proper care and attention, most patients can expect to experience significant improvements in their mobility and overall quality of life.

At Mattalino Orthopaedic, we take pride in providing personalized care and attention to each of our patients. Dr. Mattalino and our team of healthcare professionals work together to ensure that each patient receives the best possible outcome. We offer a range of services, including knee and shoulder surgeries, and elbow treatments, all tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
