Scoliosis Correction
脊柱侧弯矫正
Scoliosis correction surgery straightens and stabilizes abnormal spinal curvatures using instrumentation (rods, screws, and hooks) with fusion. China's pediatric and adult spine centers handle complex curves exceeding 50 degrees with 3D navigation and neuromonitoring for safety. Several hospitals in China are recognized internationally for high-volume scoliosis programs with excellent correction rates.
Carpal Tunnel Release
腕管综合征手术
Carpal tunnel release surgery divides the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve, resolving numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Chinese hand surgery centers offer both open and endoscopic techniques with excellent outcomes. This outpatient procedure provides rapid symptom relief for patients who have failed conservative management.
Achilles Tendon Repair
跟腱修复
Achilles tendon repair surgically reconnects a ruptured Achilles tendon to restore push-off strength and walking ability. Chinese sports medicine surgeons offer both open and minimally invasive percutaneous repair techniques with strong suture materials. Early functional rehabilitation protocols allow faster return to sport compared to traditional casting approaches.
Joint Preservation Surgery
关节保留手术
Joint preservation surgery encompasses techniques like osteotomy, cartilage restoration, and labral repair that delay or prevent the need for joint replacement in younger active patients. China's orthopedic centers offer cutting-edge options including autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), osteochondral allograft, and realignment osteotomies. These biological solutions are particularly valuable for patients under 50 with focal cartilage damage.
Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery
小儿骨科手术
Pediatric orthopedic surgery addresses congenital and developmental conditions in children including clubfoot, hip dysplasia, limb length discrepancy, and growth plate injuries. China has dedicated children's hospitals with specialized pediatric orthopedic teams experienced in managing complex deformities. The large patient volume in Chinese centers provides surgeons with extensive experience in rare conditions.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
运动损伤康复
Comprehensive sports injury rehabilitation combines physiotherapy, biomechanical analysis, and advanced modalities to restore athletes to full performance after injury or surgery. China's sports medicine rehabilitation centers offer programs used by Olympic and professional athletes, featuring hydrotherapy, isokinetic testing, and motion analysis labs. These programs are available at a fraction of Western costs with dedicated one-on-one therapist time.
Bone Fracture Fixation (ORIF)
骨折内固定术
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgically realigns broken bones and holds them in place with plates, screws, rods, or wires for proper healing. Chinese trauma centers handle extremely high volumes of fracture surgery with 24/7 emergency capability and experienced surgeons. Modern locking plate systems and intramedullary nails from leading manufacturers are available at significantly reduced cost.
Tennis Elbow Treatment
网球肘治疗
China's sports medicine centers offer comprehensive tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) treatment combining regenerative medicine (PRP injections, stem cell therapy) with advanced physiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Top orthopedic hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai use ultrasound-guided injections for precision targeting of damaged tendons, while TCM approaches like acupuncture and tuina massage provide complementary pain relief and accelerated healing.
