Lymphoma Treatment
淋巴瘤治疗
China's hematology-oncology centers provide comprehensive lymphoma treatment including R-CHOP and other immunochemotherapy regimens, CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed disease, and autologous stem cell transplant. China is a global leader in CAR-T therapy with multiple domestically approved products at a fraction of Western pricing. Patients with both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma benefit from multidisciplinary care and access to cutting-edge treatments.
Total Shoulder Replacement
全肩关节置换
Total shoulder replacement (arthroplasty) involves replacing the damaged shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant to restore pain-free movement. China's top orthopedic centers use both anatomic and reverse shoulder replacements with domestically manufactured and imported implants. Leading hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou perform over 5,000 shoulder replacements annually with outcomes comparable to Western standards.
Ankle Replacement
踝关节置换
Total ankle replacement replaces a damaged ankle joint with a metal and plastic prosthesis, preserving more natural motion than ankle fusion. Chinese orthopedic hospitals now offer latest-generation implants with improved survivorship rates. This procedure is ideal for patients with end-stage ankle arthritis who wish to maintain an active lifestyle.
Meniscus Repair
半月板修复
Arthroscopic meniscus repair preserves the knee's shock-absorbing cartilage by suturing torn meniscal tissue rather than removing it. China's sports medicine centers perform thousands of these minimally invasive procedures annually, with specialized expertise in complex root tears and multi-ligament injuries. Early repair significantly reduces the risk of future knee arthritis.
Arthroscopic Surgery
关节镜手术
Arthroscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, and ankle. China's orthopedic hospitals are equipped with HD and 4K arthroscopy systems for superior visualization. This minimally invasive approach reduces tissue trauma, shortens recovery, and allows same-day discharge for many procedures.
Spinal Fusion
脊柱融合术
Spinal fusion permanently connects two or more vertebrae to eliminate painful motion, treat instability, or correct deformity. Chinese spine centers offer anterior, posterior, and minimally invasive lateral approaches with navigation-guided screw placement. Major hospitals perform thousands of fusion surgeries annually with competitive outcomes and significantly lower costs than Western countries.
Disc Replacement
人工椎间盘置换
Artificial disc replacement preserves spinal motion by replacing a damaged intervertebral disc with a prosthetic device, offering an alternative to fusion for select patients. China's spine surgery centers have extensive experience with both cervical and lumbar disc replacements using FDA-approved and CE-marked implants. This motion-preserving approach may reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease compared to fusion.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
富血小板血浆治疗
PRP therapy concentrates growth factors from the patient's own blood and injects them into injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, or joints to accelerate healing. Chinese sports medicine clinics offer advanced PRP preparation systems with standardized platelet concentrations. This regenerative treatment is popular among athletes and patients seeking non-surgical alternatives for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
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.
