Expert Orthopaedic Care for Your Bones & Joints in Sungai Petani

Orthopaedics deals with injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments and nerves that work in synchronicity to allow movement and activity.

This specialty caters to all ages from infants, to very young children who may have spine or limb deformities, to athletes who may need arthroscopic surgery, as well as patients who may be suffering from ailments associated with advanced age, like arthritis.

Orthopaedic surgeons are trained to diagnose your injury; prescribe treatment which may range from one or a combination of the following: medication, exercise or physical therapy; guide your rehabilitation journey; and work with you to prevent future complications through proper information and treatment plans.

Orthopaedics requires substantial knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. They may specialise in certain areas like the foot, ankle, spine, shoulder, hand, hip or knee. They may also choose to specialise further, focusing on pediatrics, trauma or sports medicine.

We have also teamed up with the Pantai Rehab Centre to guarantee maximum recovery. This is led by a dedicated group of rehabilitation experts.


Minimally Invasive Treatments

We at Pantai Hospital understand that surgery is a physically, emotionally and mentally taxing experience. Therefore, we have worked to provide you with treatment options that are minimally invasive, to help ease your concerns.

Minimally invasive surgery is done by making small incisions in order to limit trauma, pain and risk of infections. Less invasive procedures are typically safer with equal complications as compared to a procedure performed traditionally with a large, open cut.

Specialised tools and methods are employed by the surgeon to help speed up recovery and create a more comfortable healing process.

Minimally invasive surgery is also known as a keyhole surgery as it makes use of laparoscopic tools, which are surgical instruments fitted with small tubes and cameras, or endoscopic tools, which are medical imaging devices that are inserted directly into the patient’s organs.
