• A bone spur often occurs due to joint wear and tear caused by arthritis (osteoarthritis) or continuous stress on the joint from repetitive physical activities or previous injuries.

• Acute pain occurs suddenly and lasts for a short period (from days to weeks), while chronic pain lasts for a long time (more than 3 months). Chronic pain often requires a long-term treatment plan.

Knee replacement surgery is a procedure where the damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic one. It is usually performed in cases of advanced arthritis or osteoarthritis. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy determines the need for this surgery based on the extent of knee damage and the pain the patient experiences, and it is considered the best option when medications or other treatments do not help.

A torn shoulder ligament is an injury that may occur due to sudden movement or lifting heavy objects. It can be treated with shoulder arthroscopy. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy repairs the damaged ligaments through arthroscopy, which is a precise, minimally invasive procedure that allows for faster recovery time.

In cases of mild to moderate back pain, treatment with physical therapy or medications may help alleviate the pain. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy recommends non-surgical treatment initially, but if the pain persists or if there are major structural issues, spinal surgery may be considered.

Ankle sprain is a common injury that happens due to improper movement or joint twisting. In most cases, it can be treated with rest, ice, and compression. If the injury is severe, the patient may need surgery to clean the joint or repair damaged tissues, which Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy can decide after a thorough examination.

In cases of torn tendons in the hand, surgery is required to repair the torn tendons. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy uses precise techniques to ensure the tendons are restored to their natural position, helping to regain hand movement.

In most cases of bone fractures in children, treatment can be done using casts or splints. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy determines the type of treatment based on the type of fracture, and if the fracture is complicated, surgery to stabilize the bones using screws or plates may be required.

Osteoarthritis is a condition that occurs when the cartilage between the bones wears down. In advanced cases, the patient may need joint replacement surgery, such as knee or hip replacement. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy determines whether surgery is the best option based on the severity of the condition.

Preventing injuries includes regular exercise, using protective gear like knee and elbow guards, and maintaining a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the joints. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy advises regular check-ups, especially for individuals with structural issues.

An ACL sprain is a common injury in the knee, especially among athletes. It can be treated through knee arthroscopy to repair the damaged ligament. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy determines if surgery is necessary based on the severity of the injury.

Physical therapy helps in strengthening muscles and joints after an injury or surgery. Dr. Sayed El-Shanawy recommends physical therapy after surgery to improve mobility and increase flexibility, which helps in faster recovery.

Bone pain can result from several causes, including:

• Injuries such as fractures or contusions.
• Osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency.
• Arthritis or bone infections.
• Overexertion or intense physical activities.
• Other diseases such as tumors or infections.

Orthopedic surgery is a medical procedure used to fix fractures and injuries affecting bones and joints. This surgery helps in realigning the bones or replacing damaged joints, which aids in restoring mobility and relieving pain.

The ACL is one of the ligaments in the knee that helps stabilize the joint. If torn due to a sports injury, it can be treated through knee arthroscopy, where the arthroscope is used to repair the damaged ligament without fully opening the knee.

When a bone fractures, it is realigned into its proper position using surgery or a cast, depending on the type of fracture. If the fracture is complex, screws or plates may be used to stabilize the bone until it heals. After surgery, physical therapy is followed to rehabilitate the bones and joints.

Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling and pain in the joints and can be due to cartilage damage. If the condition is severe, it may be treated by replacing the damaged joint with a prosthetic device, such as in knee or hip replacement surgery.

A torn knee cartilage can happen due to an injury or sudden movement. If the tear is significant, it is treated with knee arthroscopy, where the damaged parts of the cartilage are removed using precise techniques without the need for a large incision.

Spinal surgery is used to fix vertebral or intervertebral disc problems that may cause back pain. If there is a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, treatment may involve removing the damaged part of the disc or bone, helping relieve pain.

A shoulder sprain can occur due to a sudden movement or heavy lifting. In some cases, shoulder arthroscopy may be needed to repair damaged tendons or ligaments. This is done through a small incision using precise tools to fix the shoulder without the need for major surgery.

Joint replacement surgery is needed when a joint becomes too damaged due to conditions like arthritis or osteoarthritis. In this surgery, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with a prosthetic joint to improve movement and reduce pain.

Sports injuries include ligament tears or muscle injuries. Orthopedic surgery is used to fix these injuries using techniques like arthroscopy to repair ligaments or damaged tissues, helping athletes return quickly to their activities.

Bone lengthening surgery is used to treat shortened limbs or bone deformities. In this surgery, a part of the bone is gradually separated using a special device to lengthen the bone until it reaches the desired length.
